Conclusion after watching multiple times - Madhuri is phenomenal
8 April 2015
It is difficult to point out good or bad points in this particular movie. From the first watch, the movie will look quite a simple one with nothing of the excellence short (as most of the critics also could not find). Still, the movie, like a magnet, attracted viewers again and again to the theaters and slowly one realized that it is this simplicity of the movie that is its best asset. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first complete family entertainer of its kind - no blood, no violence, no hero-villain hand-to-hand combats, no dialog-baazi etc. Basically a new hit formula was born that was adopted in hits like DDLJ, Raja Hindustani, Hum saath saath hai, Vivah, Waqt and many more. Unbound love from people can be gaged from its box office result, which no other movie has matched till date. Watch it for the first time and you will be entertained thoroughly for 3 and a half hours. Watch it for second time and you will start humming the songs (14 songs and all adds fun-element to the story). Watch it for third time and you will start to fall in love with the characters. Thereafter you will continue to watch this movie every now and then. Like we enjoy meeting our relatives during festivals, fans (possibly half of pan India or more) of HAHK continue to enjoy the movie at regular intervals. It has been more than 20 years now and the love for the movie remains the same. One thing that stands out is Madhuri Dixit as Nisha. I am sure like me, many of my generations who have watched the movie have become an ardent admirer, fan and possibly a devotee of this beauty. Apart from looking million bucks in every frame she appeared, her lively act took the movie to a different level altogether. How can one not fall in love with her eyes after seeing her walk down the stairs in purple saari while Salman was humming the shayari for her. Her simplistic attire and expressions in maye ni maye is the one to die for. Madhuri mesmerized everyone from 8 to 80 years old with this movie. Obviously, there was a reason that her name appeared before Salman Khan and she was paid more than Salman for the movie.
