  Review by sydney ★★★

  puts the villainous independent miniskirted career woman against the pure innocent country girl with unsurprising results, still full of men who sacrifice for love yet are violent, dismissive, and make all the decisions - frustrating in a way that makes it hard for me to get with this movie's tribute to the power of love. but salman & bhagyashree are pretty irresistibly adorable, and i loved the colors and costumes and sets (so full of fun details, shout out to salman's multiple toilet-related posters and mural of himself) and dreamy romantic aesthetic. the songs are amazing (one is 9 minutes long and made up of about 25 shorter songs), mere rang mein rangne wali in particular is filmed so beautifully, and…

  Fantastic image quality on Amazon Prime. I don’t know if this film has received a digital restoration or not, but I’m sure it has because it looks too good to not have had one. The colors are so vibrant! Oh yeah, the movie is great too! So many quotable dialogues.

  My favorite part has to be when the pigeon has a flashback. I’m not sure if they were going for comedy there, but either way it was hilarious.

  I get it but I don't get it???? The thing about the Sooraj Barjatya brand of cinema that really reached a peak with Hum Aapke Hain Koun is that the way how it later became to be defined as being chaste, largely happy, supportive of the great conservative Indian family. Some of those elements are here but it also has an edge and a surprising (at least to me) sexual undercurrent that you don't really see in those other big family dramas. There is a lot of interesting camera work in this, conflict and stakes relating to class, a romance where the heroine acts all anguished against a wall with a Chandni type collage of the hero's face and I…

  Review by radhika 🦚🐝🅰️ (🤠) 2

  I wanted to retry this movie as an adult because I hated this as a kid but my mom loves it. Great songs, but I really just couldn't stand the conservatism as a kid. I thought it was emblematic of the era when I was young, now with more knowledge, I realize Barjatya is a VERY particular auteur director who isn't my type at all. I still don't like the conservatism.

  I understand why people love this movie. I get it. It's a PURE romance. It's all romance and sacrifice and moments and the sanctity of purity and honesty. The songs are great (Dil Dewaana is a standout for me.)

  There's a weird amount of sexual tension in this that…

  Review by OriginalSinead ★★★★

  The cheesiness of the era at its most charming, which gave me insight into the origins of Salman's popularity. But most of my stars are for the pigeon-who steals the movie! Why this film launched Salman's trajectory towards superstardom & not also the pigeon's, I honestly don't know. Hopefully pigeon is enjoying a luxurious retirement somewhere with Tuffy from Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!

  Review by Vignesh Subramanian ★★★★

  Not as good as HAHK but still great. This was obviously the movie and along with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak which changed Bollywood forever. From here on out Bollywood stopped having the violent angry young man movies and switched to Sweet young man movies. 

  I will say I actually like how in these older films Salman and the heroine have such a natural relationship. He doesn’t stalk them or emotionally manipulate them (he has done that in later films). This seperates him from say SRK who made a career out of doing that and some of his most iconic films have these regressive elements. That’s not to say this film doesn’t have its fair share of dated elements. This is…
