Hum Saath Saath Hain was the first sign of Sooraj Barjatya‘s bad phase which reached its lowest point with Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon! He did redeem himself with the sweet Vivah and will definitely bounce back with Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, but I really think Hum Saath Saath Hain was not his best work. Actually, it was a cringefest! Here’s why.
1) It had the most annoying supporting cast!
Everyone from Alok Nath’s silliness to Reema Lagoo‘s attempt at being a Balaji vamp. Nothing worked! Shakti Kapoor hammed his way by playing the token bhaijaan and Himani Shivpuri was only present to sing songs. Not even Neelam and Mahesh Thakur could salvage anything.
2) The kids…
…were not alright.
3) Mohnish Behl’s decision to honeymoon with the whole family!
No wonder Tabu doesn’t say much in the movie; she’s mad at her bae!
4) Snivelling Sonali!
You’re a doctor girl, stop turning into Bella Swan whenever you lay your eyes on Salman Khan! To come to think of it, I KNOW Stephenie Meyer was inspired by Sonali’s Dr. Preeti when she was writing the snoozefest which is popularly known as the Twilight series.
5) A sad adaptation of Ramayan.
I mean how can you adapt one of the greatest stories of this country and not have war scenes, abduction and Hanuman? How?
6) This song.
So needy Mohnish. So damn needy. No wonder Reema thought you’re after the property.
7) This introduction of every character in this movie.
I mean they could have just ended the movie after this song.
8) Reema Lagoo’s minions.
Actually they were the best part of the movie.
9) Double weddings.
Sonali Bendre and Karisma Kapoor can’t even have one day for themselves. Every big moment of their lives has to be done together, be it their engagement or their weddings.
10) All sugar no spice, nothing naughty, only nice.
Makes Hum Saath Saath Hain a dull boy… err movie!
This blog is just my opinion, most of Team MissMalini is in LOVE with this movie!
