This is one big family with three sons and a daughter. But do we really need to see money being blown up on lavish sets, baseless song-dance sequences, gaudy costumes and an outdated script? Rajshri Productions could have done better, and they have in the past, with movies like Hum Aapke Hain kaun. The theme of HSSH is about being together in a traditional joint-family set up and sticking together through thick and thin.
So if you want to see Karisma Kapoor fluttering her eyelids unnecessarily, looking quite like a retard…watch this film! If you want to see Salman Khan, being the oh-so-shy guy (read gay) with a constant sheepish grin on his face, watch this film! If you want to see the otherwise suave and chic Saif, pretending to be this guy straight out of school with a twisted romantic sense…watch this film! In short, they seemed funny and instead of fooling us, the audience…they ended up looking foolish themselves.
The icing on the cake for me was to see some good actors (like Tabu, Saif Ali, Karisma Kapoor etc.) waste themselves on a crazy dialogues and overly dramatized scenes. So once again…why am I recommending this movie, despite giving it only one star? Because - my otherwise boring evening was suddenly made colorful, thanks to the ridiculous script and the even more bizarre execution of a ghisa-pita theme, ‘door reh kar bhi hum saath saath hain’. Therefore, if you think you have a sensitive nervous system and cannot laugh at this horrid attempt at “family entertainment”…please stay away and you can thank me later. The above mentioned is my justification for recommending HSSH. Well me? I experienced the first kind of side effect…and for that, I am thankful to God Almighty. There is possibility of two side-effects, namely, either you’re going to get a stomach-ache from ‘rolling on the floor laughing’ or you’re going to get a ‘promising’ head-ache, more like a migraine which will remind you of the blunder you committed, just by opting to watch this flick. Watch this traditional Indian joint-family saga at your own risk.
Acting: Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Karisma Kapoor, Tabu, Mohnish Behl, Reema Lagoo, Alok Nath, … and many more familiar ‘Rajshri’ characters
