हम साथ - साथ हैं (1999)

I made a big mistake on a long flight home. I watched Hum Saath Saath Hain. It was a 5 and a half hour flight, so I thought I'd watch the really long movie I had downloaded to my iPad. And it felt very long. If I'd watched it home while searching the internet at the same time or something, it wouldn't have felt so slow, I'd bet. But I was trapped on a plane just watching it, and there is a 15 minute song medley -- making fun of each family member in turn, but with no subtitles. Not having subtitles for the songs was really a handicap this time, as they were mostly less about dancing and more about comedy which mostly passed me by.

It was meh for me. The last 45 minutes had good melodrama, and seeing Saif Ali Khan all goofy and boyish while Salman was supposed to be this introspective intellectual (!!) was kind of a kick. But.....wish I'd watched another movies instead. It took a looooong time to get to the melodrama. I thought HAHK was Most Family Values, but yowza! Pretentious Movie Review on this one was spot on.

One other trip was Tabu. I had not seen her in a romantic role from the past yet -- only I think as the mother in Haider. So that was wild to see her dancing away in her heyday. The couples were cute, but not as sparkling adorable as Madhuri and Salman were in HAHK.

HSSH is a perfect family drama, which is a complete blend and mixture of comedy,love,emotion,song and respect. Its a story about a big family which lives happily and joyfully but as usual some misunderstanding and manipulations comes in between their love, which makes the second half a bit emotional. A perfect movie to be watched with the family members, which contain all kinds of character which makes us entertain.
