Thus the film is not as up to date with today's audience. It kept most of Ramayan philosophy into the plot rather then to fuse/innovate it with modern day influx of westernization which has taken over India with the advent of satellite television and of commercialism of products. It is nice to see togetherness in a family but his concept was way over premising. But while the visuals are pleasing the overall plot, which is reminiscent of a modern day Ramayan, seems to be rather outdated. This shows how the director is very structured in what he wants to be visually shown on screen. Planning of shots, art direction and performances are well executed.
This helped the romantic genre become a profitable and popular format after one decade of violence and patriotism films. This contrasted with what the director did for his first directorial debut Maine Pyar Kiya which, in 1989, resorted Hindi cinema back to the romantic genre for the 1990's. This in my view has been looked upon once too often, and seems rather tiring and predictable. Rather then break Hindi film conventions, which all Rajshri films have done in nearly all of their releases, Hum Saath - Saath Hain continues the trend set by Hum Aapke Hain Koun of an upper class family having functions, outings, businesses, and a big house. Maybe its just me, but I do feel that too much escapism was wrong at the start as it becomes too demanding on our part to make believe. This creates an unease in the overall flow of the film. I was totally lost when all the secondary characters just entered the house (without a doorbell?) and made themselves feel too much at home.
While this part has been handled well, I fail to understand why the need for so many characters. The first half hour feels like a theater production when all the characters enter the stage with their own mannerisms and characteristics. While I loved his first two movies, his present one was very disappointing as it falls behind by being too overly melodramatic, which at times become rather ambiguous to the whole setting and nature of the film. The films each have a social message which looks at each stage of life.youth/love, love/marriage & family values. All three movies was directed by Rajshri in-house director Sooraj B. The films Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994) & Hum Saath - Saath Hain (1999) had broken box-office records around the world. While most of their production remains quite unknown to many audiences, since their films was mostly consistent of new cast and production crew (making them really experimental at times), their last three production has become the most popular films ever in the history of Indian cinema. It is these films that help inspire forthcoming filmmakers, and innovate the bland Hindi cinema which is predictable and not satisfying. But at the time of their release, and when I viewed them during the 1980's, these films were very different in style and tone from the rest of conventional Hindi cinema. Most of these films presently now have more weaknesses then strengths. Basu Chatterjee), Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se (1978 Dir. Rajshri continued to produced wonderful and memorable flicks like Tapasya (1976 Dir.
