Sooraj can't get over his HAHK, in this film too he brings another similar storyHere family is given more importance thoughAlmost every 2nd line is a sentence on family that lives together.etc No story in first half till half past second halfMost of the characters are too sugarcoated, even the villains are straight out of 80's the scenes are too theatrical with most actors hamming The last drama is well handled but things get too melodramatic at times the end is typical happy endDirection by Soraj Bharjatya is okay Music is nothing greatAmongst actors Mohinish gets the meatiest role and he plays his part very well though with too much earnestness at times Salman hardly gets any footage most of the film just gets some few lines but he gets focus towards the end and he is okay Saif is lively in his role and he is truly the Prem of HAHK in this filmTabu is okay, she too gets hardly anything much to do other then smile or sob Sonali too is just there Karisma hams into her part, mostly tossing her neck around Amongst rest Sadashiv and the 3 vamps are theatrical Reema and Alok are alright Neelam acts well Mahesh is okay

'Hum Saath Saath Hai' is a simple family drama. It's one of the films I enjoy most when watching with family. It's a colourful feel good film and not one that will make you seriously pick your brains. The moral of the story is that family should stick together, that's when they're the strongest. Just sit down and enjoy it without expecting a serious drama. The family tradition is nicely portrayed. Yes, it's larger than life and some might call it 'too good to be true' but it's entertaining. The set designs are impressive and the locales are spectacular (particularly the Rampur scenes). The songs are very pleasant and nicely add to the screenplay. In addition to that the dances have been beautifully choreographed. All the actors suit their roles very well. Tabu and Sonali add grace and sincerity to their characters. Tabu's downplayed expression in the scene right after Alok Nath and Reema Lagoo's argument is stunning. Sonali as the shy Preeti is amazing. She adds a lot of class and her body language is a standout. The two actresses are more than a positive addition. Karishma and Saif add to the humour. Saif is wonderful as the hyperactive Vinod as are Salman as the quiet Prem and Mohnish as the responsible Vivek. Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Shakti Kapoor and the rest of the cast are mostly brilliant. Neelam stands out as the sister. The three friends who play Lagoo's friends seem like caricatures. The plot is predictable but there's more to the film. I'd say it's one film best watched with the family. The only other Barjatya films I watched are 'Vivah' and 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' (so it's quite clear that his films aren't to be taken too seriously) but for me 'Hum Saath Saath Hai' definitely tops those two. I'd recommend watching and enjoying it with family.

I loved this film it just the right amount of substance of everything...The characters and acting was just what i needed to see.M. Bahl superb, S Khan, Great, SA Khan wonderful, K Kapoor Tremendous, S. Bendre Amazing TABU was great addition, I'm glad Madhuri did not star she would have spoilt it... Suttle all through this film so much emotion... love comedy anger fear happiness...Just the right balance.I loved Maine Pyar Kiya. Hated Hum aapke Hai Kaun. I Loved this film.Family saga with actors acting brilliantly thats rare in bollywood.. We usually stick a star or model in and let their name sell the movie but the actors have sold this movie. People like Shah Rukh Khan Madhuri Aishwaria would have made increased the revenue in the first day because of their status and their acting ability or lack of it would have sank it...When are we seeing the next oneI cant wait to see the original cast of Rajshiri Productions to do magic again I hope people of this films can be put in a film again...

Very family oriented film. Acting was good and the girls looked lovely and danced well. Music was credible and cinemetography was good. Sooraj Barjatya again takes a familiar storyline and makes it a show worth watching.
