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 say it's one film best watched with the family. The plot is predictable but there's more to the film. The three friends who play Lagoo's friends seem like caricatures. Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Shakti Kapoor and the rest of the cast are mostly brilliant. Saif is wonderful as the hyperactive Vinod as are Salman as the quiet Prem and Mohnish as the responsible Vivek. The two actresses are more than a positive addition. She adds a lot of class and her body language is a standout. Tabu's downplayed expression in the scene right after Alok Nath and Reema Lagoo's argument is stunning. Tabu and Sonali add grace and sincerity to their characters. All the actors suit their roles very well. In addition to that the dances have been beautifully choreographed. The songs are very pleasant and nicely add to the screenplay. The set designs are impressive and the locales are spectacular (particularly the Rampur scenes). Yes, it's larger than life and some might call it 'too good to be true' but it's entertaining.
The family tradition is nicely portrayed. Just sit down and enjoy it without expecting a serious drama. The moral of the story is that family should stick together, that's when they're the strongest. It's a colourful feel good film and not one that will make you seriously pick your brains. It's one of the films I enjoy most when watching with family. She is also preparing for a comeback in Telugu films after a decade, with Allu Arjun's yet-untitled upcoming project.'Hum Saath Saath Hai' is a simple family drama. The actress will next be seen in the coming-of-age story "Jawaani Jaaneman" along with Saif Ali Khan. My understanding of the world has increased," she said. They have introduced me to things I didn't know about culture, Kashmir, Shakespeare, relationships, deceit and also illicit relationship. The directors I have worked with have altered my world view. The characters I have played (have given me) tremendous belief in myself as an actor, and shaped me to be a creative person with the influences I carry.
1", "Hum Saath-Saath Hain", "Golmaal Again", "De De Pyaar De", "Bharat" and "Andhadhun".Īll the roles, Tabu says, have shaped her as a person. The talented actress, whose real name is Tabassum Fatima Hashmi, has also been associated with commercial projects such as "Hera Pheri", "Chachi 420", "Biwi No. The critically-acclaimed actress says she has now realised that the answers lie in connecting with the world in a 'much larger and deeper way'. And who can forget the gems like "The Namesake", "Life of Pi" and "Cheeni Kum". Actress Tabu says she has been struggling with herself for almost a decade now, trying to understand who she is, what she stands for, and how she wants to live. Since then, she has donned several avatars - a simple Sikh girl turning to militancy in "Maachis", a woman having an extramarital affair in "Astitva", a jilted widow in "Haider", a bar dancer in "Chandni Bar", a tough cop and helpless mother in "Drishyam", a dejected former wife of a police officer in "Talvar" and an anti-terrorist bureau agent in "Fanaa". Tabu's affair with glitz and glamour started playing Dev Anand's teenage daughter in the 1985 film, "Hum Naujawan". Whether it is through my films, work or anything else I do, it is important for me to maintain that connect with the world outside of my work also," said the actress. What I definitely want to push myself (for) is to connect with the world in a much larger and deeper way because that is what makes me feel alive. "It is very difficult (to say) because there are many things that I stand for.
