Hum Saath-Saath Hain

Even though I am Indo-Caribbean and do like watching films just to connect with motherland,I do feel that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.We will make films like K3G and Lagaan bigger hits overseas than good films like Chandni Bar.I waited two years to get this because I wasn't interested and because it grossed $2 million in USA and films that gross over $300,000 get pirated the fastest.

Mr Sooraj sure knows how to make the perfect formula.Put six attractive stars (and hide one) all over on trailors and posters and cd's and then only have Karishma Kapoor and Neelam (the hidden one) steal the show from the females Tabu and Sonali Bendre,which is disappointing because all four are talented,but Tabu only gets 12 lines and Sonali,probably 15.Then for our males...Salman Khan's name is first and he only gets 10 lines where Saif Ali Khan and Mohnish Behl steal the spotlight anyways.Even the supporting artiste get more lines and even the children get more scope,all Salman,Tabu and Sonali get to do is stand in the background and blush.

Well, only two good tracks are 'Mere Hiwda Mein' and 'Maiya Yashoda'.It has a really good repeat value because I have seen it three times and if you like it,then you must not like films with high meaning like Lajja,Chandni Bar,Dil Se or Astivta,and Tabu won best actress awards for Chandni Bar and Astivta.Glad she was the first actress to do crossover into art films because she is not going to waste herself any longer in silly commercial masala!
