Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993) User Reviews

Not a great film, but a funny and feel-good family entertainer

[Peter_Young · 7/10 · 26 December 2009]

I quite enjoyed watching Mahesh Bhatt's Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, a film that does not take itself too seriously and which can surely provide a decent watch for the entire family. Mahesh Bhatt made some amazing dramatic and intense films in the 1980s, and this film is totally different in its approach. Unlike many Hindi films made at that time, this one is very simple, light and entertaining. It occasionally reminded me of those memorable Mukherjee comedies like Khubsoorat and Chupke Chupke, though I wouldn't say it is as great as these films. The film stars Aamir Khan as a young businessman who now has to look after his late sister's three mischievous kids, and Juhi Chawla, a Tamil runaway girl who is brought home by the kids and gets later hired by him as their governess. Together they form a nice romantic couple (as they always do). The film is fast-paced and is aided by wonderful songs composed by Nadeem-Shravan which contribute to its effervescent style and light mood. Khan is restrained and effective as Rahul, while Chawla is excellent, vivacious and funny in an all-out comic role with her endearingly chirpy attitude and effortless Tamil line delivery. The kids also do a fine job. Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke is not a film for everyone but mostly for those who like light-hearted and musically abundant Hindi masala flicks. In that genre, it was very successful.

Very silly at first but gets better and grows on you.

I was not sure if I would like this film because it was so silly and overacted at first by just about everyone except Aamir Khan. But, the more the film progressed, the more the storyline hooked me and the characters settled into their roles, although it was still a little too silly for my tastes. I could not believe that Filmfare gave HHRPK their best film award and Juhi Chawla the best actress for 1994 because I did not think it was that good unless there was not that much competition that year. I like Juhi's performances in most films and felt she did OK here but, since she was made to overact so much and act so immature, I frequently tired of seeing a grown woman act like a small child.

I hope that I am not being too negative because, if the viewer can handle the first 15-20 minutes, they will be in for a very pleasant ride and a few laughs along the way. It is just not a film for everyone, especially newcomers to Bollywood films.

Funny family film

[silvan-desouza · 6/10 · 20 December 2009]

MaheshBhatt in 80's made some good cinema like ARTH, SARAANSH, NAAM and KABZAA

In 1990's he settled for romantic films and light kind films like AASHIQUI(1990), DIL HAI KI MAANTA NAHIN(1991), HUM HAI RAAHI PYAAR KE(1993)

HUM HAI RAAHI PYAAR KE is a light hearted family film which is well handled

The film starts off nicely and the entire kids track is well handled also the Juhi track is entertaining at times the film is childish but you can expect that in a family film

The film is a nice family film to watch the film ends on a funny slapstick note with people throwing eggs on the villains played by a hammy Dalip Tahil and loud Navneeth Nishan

Direction by Mahesh Bhatt is good Music is good

Aamir Khan is a natural as always, he plays the role very well Juhi Chawla too compliments him well though at times she is too childish for her age yet she does her role well Amongst kids Master Shahrukh is too good while the young Kunal Khemmu is fantastic Amongst rest Dalip Tahil hams, Navneet Nishan is too loud Tiku Talsania is okay

One of Juhi's best

[aditya2088 · 9/10 · 28 August 2022]

Just watched it again today on a slow Sunday afternoon with the family, after over 20 years. I was surprised how well it has held up compared to most early 90s movies. It's still as enjoyable as ever, with genuine funny moments and often pulls at your heartstrings as well. Juhi is the star of this film without a doubt. I have often lamented the fact that as Amazing an actress she is, she never really got her due from the industry in terms of meaty roles which allow her to show off her acting chops. This is one of the exceptions where she shines and we get to see her full range of emotions. Though mostly it's her comedic side which has been highlighted here, in the 2nd half the pain and anguish of unrequited love of her character beautifully comes across through her earnest portrayal, especially in the song "wo meri neend". Only the first few minutes and the OTT climax pull you out of it and remind you that you are watching a dated 90s movie but otherwise it holds up pretty well and made for a fun watch.

A family movie that you could watch multiple times without being bored.

It has a nice 'feel good' quality to it and the comedy is pretty hilarious. I watched it recently on Prime Videos, and this was some nice hours spent at home around your dear ones. Juhi Chawla was pretty funny and watching little Kunal Khemu running around in half-pants :D ... lol ... The songs are melodious to listen to. It leaves you in good mood and relaxed, at the end. Probably because of the way things were shot! With ample light and spaciousness unlike the cramped feeling that movies these days project, this is from the time when movies used to be not 'force produced in a rush'. It's watchability is timeless.

Amazing Film

Great family entertainer. Great performances from the lead and good plot.

Aamir and Juhi Reunite in Mahesh Bhatt's Funniest Film

[Chrysanthepop · 27 June 2010]

Mahesh Bhatt's 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke' is an out and out comedy. The film isn't entirely original as it lifts from sources like 'Adventures in Babysitting' but the humour works most of the time. I don't understand why so many criticize the movie for being too silly. 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke' doesn't take itself seriously so why should the viewer? It's an entertainer from start to finish, that's it. Why should one expect otherwise? The soundtrack is of the foot-tapping sort and very hummable. The romantic songs that include 'Mujhse Mohabbat', 'Ghoongat' and 'Woh Mere Neend' are the best. They're visualized amusingly.

Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla have already proved to be a great on screen pair and here they shine once again. Aamir Khan it effective in a suitably restrained performance but it is Juhi Chawla who steals the show with her comic nirvana. Easily she (along with Sridevi) is the funniest actor in the history of Hindi cinema and it would be a tough challenge for any actor to match up to that. Moreover, her effortless dialogue delivery in Tamil (especially for someone who doesn't speak the language) only further prove what a gifted actress she is.

Of the child actors, Kunal Khemu leads the trio while the other two are passable at best. I found Dilip Tahil irritatingly loud while Navneet Nishan was good as the caricature seductress.

'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke' is Mahesh Bhatt's funniest film. It does remind one of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's evergreen comedies (even though the execution, in comparison is a little less sophisticated).

It Was A Great Film Must Watch

[MehdiRizvi-7867 · 10/10 · 1 April 2022]

Very good movie It's all about loving,laughing and caring Kids were amazing and the whole crew was exactly very good Songs are great preety many hit songs are.there in the movie Family movie and also joyful for kids Great to watch.

Don't know what the awards were about

[asdhars · 1/10 · 26 April 2020]

I watched this in 1994 or so and decided to watch again. Couldn't complete watching. Seriously was wondering who picked this movie over the others to be the best. Why was Juhi even awarded best actress. Don't get me wrong, I do like Juhi, but this wasn't her best. I have watched most of those movies that were nominated and I thought there were others who deserved the awards. I liked the songs, but comparing with the other movies nominated I thought was very mediocre. Khal Nayak that was nominated 11 times that year deserved more awards I reckon.

A complete family movie

[afaque-54636 · 10/10 · 24 October 2021]

This movie is my childhood favorite.

You can watch it as many times and it will always bring a smile on your face..

I miss Tahir Hussain movies... He is one of the best director's.

While some praised the chemistry between Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla, as well as the humor and heartwarming moments

[disharma-24131 · 10/10 · 27 July 2023]

Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke" is a Bollywood romantic-comedy film released in 1993. Directed by Mahesh Bhatt, the film stars Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla in the lead roles. The story revolves around a carefree man who suddenly becomes responsible for taking care of his deceased sister's three children. He embarks on a journey with the kids and encounters various challenges and comical situations along the way. Amidst this chaos, he meets a woman, and a romantic relationship develops.

While some praised the chemistry between Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla, as well as the humor and heartwarming moments, others found the plot to be predictable and the execution lacking in certain aspects.

Please note that individual opinions on movies can vary, and it's always a good idea to check multiple reviews and sources to get a comprehensive understanding of a film's reception. If "Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke" is indeed a new movie, I recommend looking for reviews from reputable critics and audiences to get a current and accurate assessment of the film's quality.

Good movie

[thebagpiper59 · 8/10 · 29 January 2013]

There are few films that you never get bored of watching and Hum hai rahi pyaar ke is one of those few films that no matter how many times you watch it, you will never feel bored. It's an out and out family entertainer. There is no single dull moment that you are gonna experience from the very beginning till the movie reaches its climax. Its a kind of film one rarely gets to see these days. I use the term rarely because most films that are being made these days lack story which this particular film has got in abundance. Not just a story, there are several factors that attribute to a movie's success. Each time the movie is successful, its usually the hero who will be showered with all praises but in this case, its the heroine who shines throughout the movie. This has gotta be one of the best performances of Juhi till date.

Feelgood

[shiringhadri · 10/10 · 1 October 2021]

Such a feelgood movie, and such a talent Juhi is. If you love Hindi movies you'll love this movie.
