Do you consider it a blooper

I dont know whether you would call it a blooper or not but I certainly consider this as one
Chamatkar was released on 8th July 1992 while Beta was released on 3rd April 1992 so there is a gap of 9 weeks between the two movies. So I don't think they could have made an excuse of watching Chamatkaar since Beta was houseful.
Beta was a super hit movie but not that big that it would be Houseful even in its 10th week while another moderate hit movie is running in the parallel theatre in its first week. If you remember those days Super hit meant a movie running for 7-8 weeks, the silver jubilee movies had become history till of course Hum Aapke Hain Kaun broke that trend in 1994.

Secondly even if we somehow still we accept that it was running that good in its 10th week there is no reason why everyone including Bhabhi Chacha Chachi and Pandit decided to watch it in the theatre in the 10th week and none of them watched in on Cassette which would have been released at least a month back especially Naina n Preety who watch every movie within a week of cassette release (back then when they didn't have a VCR, now they also have one)

Chalo yahan tak bhi maana that no one saw it on cassette but the way they got excited on seeing the Dhak dhak song as they were seeing it the first time, tab tak to Rangoli n Chitrahaar pe bhi ye song bahut baar aa chuka hoga wo bhi nhi dekha kya.

In the nutshell they couldn't have watched Beta after Chamatkar was released

That is true to but being a 90s kid, I can not ignore it

My reason for loving this show is only the 90s ambience, I definitely love Samaina but they are second important reason

Beta was a super hit movie which did silver jubilee...
Very few movies had an all India release in those days ...Ahemdabad being a non metropolitan city... Beta definitely released a few weeks after its initial release in metropolitan cities...

So we can assume beta released in mid may in ahemdabad...And ran for a few months...Coz it was a hit...

Same way since chamatkar was a flop movie...It did not last a week in big cities hence they were released early in smaller cities...

I donno if you remember... The video cassettes never had the dhak dhak song in them... Infact the love making scene was also edited out from the cassettes. ...

As far as I remember... In my city... The noon and matinee shows had the dhak dhak song edited out coz school nd college students were the dominant audience...It was only show .In evening nd night shows




And chitrahaar never aired the dhak dhak song... it was too erotic for dd audience..

I dont think Beta ran as Silver Jubilee, it was a super hit not a blockbluster

No all India release although could be a possible explanation. this makes some sense, but even then I dont feel it would have taken months to be released in Ahmedabad, it wasn't a village or a town was a full fledged city and not a metro, plus Chamatkaar wasn't a flop, it was a moderate hit (personally i would any day prefer Chamatkar over Beta- I know irrelevant here)

Still this can give some explanation.

yes I remember DHak Dhak song being absent in cassette but don't remember it not airing on TV so pardon me for that

No months of houseful was a seventies and mid eighties thing.

Post that around nineties people stopped going to cinema halls and started watching movies in home (VCR which by then had become a common household item in middle class families), thinking that mostly lower strata people would come to watch the movie and it wouldn't be good as a family, this is the reason if notice most late eighties and early nineties (barring ofcourse many good ones) had scenes which would attract the front row viewers (not of the multiplex but of those single theater with ticket costing Rs. 3-7 (at my place might be more in Ahmedabad). The item numbers (which definitely werent so called) with skin show as per those days standards began at this time (1,2,3, ---, Oye Oye, saat samundar paar or even Dhak Dhak for that matter-- these couldnt be watched with the families.), before that even the cabaret dancers used to dance with skin tight stalkings which you could notice if you observe minutely. Anyway that's a different discussion.

What I mean to say here is that during the time gap between Sholay and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun nearly a span of 20 years, there wasn't a blockbuster which ran for months, since this was the time when people were transforming from movies in hall to movies on TV. Even the minor blockbusters like Maine Pyaar kiya and Qayamat se Qayamat Tak didn't run as a golden jubilee, and Beta might be the biggest hit for 1992 but nowhere in the league of MPK or QSQT

By the way didn't they mention in one of the previous episodes about SRK from Fauji serial doing his movie debut in Deewana and acting great in the movie?? And if I remember correctly it happened months before the movie date
And Deewana was released after Beta with both the movies being super hit (Beta Highest grosser for the year and Deewana might have been 3rd of 4th grosser) . I guess they are watching this movie months after its release even in their town.

This is certainly not a Nayi film they are watching, seriously strange they all decided to watch so late at the same time
