He was the ultimate inspiration of Aditya Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karan Johar. They just copied Barjatya's style of film making in their earlier films but Barjatya later tried to copy Johar style in Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon & Bhansali style in PRDP. 😲

He couldn't keep up with the time and change. He is still stuck in the early 90s. Almost 3 decades have passed since then. His movies were good for his time. When I watch HAHK I can appreciate a bahu/bhabi like Renuka's character even though I don't believe in it. I can go along with with Madhuri and Salman making their sacrifice because of the time they lived in. If you pull that type of story line today instead of respecting such sentiments people will cringe and die. We don't believe in unrealistic values and grand sacrifice when you can easily sort things out another way. That's why PRDP was so bad. That movie probably would've worked in 90s, not in today's day and age. No one today behave like that

I remember once Sooraj Barjatya said he is like Prem. Prem changed with him. Prem grew up as he grew up and Prem is a reflection of whatever phase of life he was in. Well now Sooraj B. is 54, unfortunately he can't write Prem as a man in his 50s. So he has been trying to write these young characters but he doesn't know anything about them.

I am sorry I disagree I do not think PRDP would have worked even in the 90's it was a ridiculous script about doppelganger and what not. Even the warmth that the characters had amongst themselves in his earlier films were missing. Also, an actress like Sonam playing that role spelled disaster. You need a fine actress like say Madhuri to make an unrealistic, unbelievable world of Sooraj Bharajtya real and relatable.
