Hey Guys,
I have thought that since now-a-days lot of modern and scriptless movies are being made, why dont we look at some old movies, which actually made sense, had good storylines and can be watched by the whole week
So this week we will start off with one of the most family oriented movie:
Hum Saath Saath Hain
Like all Rajshri Movies, this movie too was a movie all about relationships with excellent star cast, storyline, songs, music and a good message.
Starcast:
Monish Behl
Salman Khan
Saif Ali Khan
Tabu
Sonali Bendre
Karishma Kapoor
Alok Nath
Neelam
Satish Shah
Storyline:
Hum Saath Saath Hain (HSSH) is a typical Rajshri film. Like in his earlier film Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, in this film too director Sooraj Barjatya has focused on life in a joint family.
The story of HSSH revolves around a happy joint family, whose members come together to celebrate the silver wedding anniversary of Ramkishen (Alok Nath) and Mamta (Reema). They have four lovely grown up children – Vivek (Mohnish Behl), Prem (Salman Khan), Sangeeta (Neelam) and Vinod (Saif Ali Khan), who share a close bonding with each other.
Sangeeta is married to Anand (Mahesh Thakur) and they have a sweet little daughter. Mamta's brother and his wife (Ajit Vachchani and Himani Shivpuri), family friend (Satish Shah), his daughter Preeti (Sonali Bendre), Anwar (Shakti Kapoor) also join the celebration.
Sapna (Karisma Kapoor), her father (Sadashiv Amrapurkar), Durga mausi (Shammi), Sadhana (Tabu) and her father (Rajiv Verma) are also there.
As the story moves along, Vivek weds Sadhana, Prem gets engaged to Preeti and Vinod falls in love with Sapna.
Ramkishenji's dream is to have all his sons and daughter-in-laws stay together, sharing with each other life's joys and sorrows. However, the so-called "well-wishers" of the family keep talking about how families are breaking up in today's times.
One day, problems arise in Sangeeta's family. Sangeeta and her husband Anand have to move out of their ancestral home and start life anew. This comes as a jolt to Ramkishenji's family. Ramkishenji's wife, Mamta, feels pained for her daughter and starts worrying about the future of her sons.
There is talk of separating the boys. But Ramkishenji's ideals prevail. The sons and the daughter-in-laws stand united in their moment of crisis.
Finally, Sangeeta and Anand are happily re-united with their family. The sons and daughter-in-laws prove that "the family that eats and prays together... stays together."
As far as the story is concerned, the film has nothing new. The big cast is largely decorative. They have nothing challenging to do.
The music has been scored by Ram Laxman. Mhare Hiwda Mein is the best of the lot.
It's a good family entertainment
Questions:
Rajshri Productions have always provided movies which can be enjoyed by the whole family, and even last year where stylish and sleek movies like D2, Don were being released, Rajshri stuck with a simple love story like Vivah which proved to be a huge success at the box office. What's your thoughts on the decision of Rajshri Production to stick will movies about family values and make movies for the whole family can watch. Is there a chance for family films to work today in an era where style, glamour and sex is given more attention in movies?
