Movie Reviews of Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke
Movie Review: Above average movie. A little dated in look but the leads are strong (subtitles may need accessing differently)
Summary: 4 Stars
This is about a guy (Aamir Khan) who is happily a student when his sister & brother-in-law's deaths leaves him with the care of their small garment factory, house and 3 spoiled children. He is an honorable man and moves to do the best with his change of direction. Enter a vivacious but slightly mischievous young woman (Juhi Chalwa) running away from home and an arranged marriage her father is trying to force with a mincing effeminate man of her caste. She hits it off with the kids immediately. The guy doesn't know where she has come from but takes her in to deal with the kids. However he is the object of a scheming rich girls plans to marry him. The factory is at the mercy of her scheming father too and he wants to have the factory for himself. Even though love is blooming between Aamir & Juhi her father wont accept his different caste and prefers to disinherit her....
This is one of those typical Bollywood light melodramas/ romance/ 'family movies and stands well in that genre. It is a little dated in look in a little lesser film quality and some horrific Western fashions adopted at that time (Juhi looks like she's dressed as a doll at times!) I was a little concerned the movie initially may be dominated by kids pranks but they didnt dwell on the kids as a problem feature after all.
The focus is on Aamir and his connection with Juhi. This works really well. There is good chemistry and they are both interesting actors with a good range. There is also the connection between Juhi and the kids - also well done. Then the support actors complete the ensemble. I dont relate to the music of that era much but it was interesting enough to watch as the song & dance interludes added to and deepened the emotional content being conveyed.
Elsewhere on the Net this tends to consistently get above average and that's where I'd put it too.
One comment:my DVD (and obviously some belonging to other reviewers) didn't have subtitles listed in the opening menu. In fact the English subtitles are there and can be accessed from your remote control if it has that feature e.g. as a subtitle button or on a display one. Alternately you may be able to play it through your computer through a DVD program and select the subtitle option. This is obviously a downside for a DVD but it may not limit you if you know to try this- and the movie is worth the journey.
