Director Mahesh Bhatt’s romantic drama stars Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla in a tale of conflict between family responsibility (a dead sister’s children and business) and true love (a runaway tycoon’s daughter). Bhatt squeezed in four more films during 1993, as well as regular television work, but he is still best known for the 1984 movie Saaransh. Based partially on the English movie Houseboat starring Cary Grant and Sophia Loren.
Rahul Malhotra (Aamir Khan) is the manager of the heavily in debt family business. He is also the guardian of his dead sister’s mischievous kids. Rahul hires Vaijayanti (Juhi Chawla) as governess. Vaijayanti is a runaway from home as she does not want to marry the man her orthodox family has chosen for her. Predictably, Rahul and Vaijayanti fall in love. Maya (Navneet Nishan), a rich girl in love with Rahul tries to ruin his family and his business, but all ends happily.
HUM HAIN RAHI PYAR KE is a little known gem. Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla are superb, and even the kids (most notably the young Kunal Khemmu who is now a rising Bollywood actor) are also very supportive in their respective roles. A loving family entertainer with some good songs. Not fantastic, but this is one Indian movie you wouldn’t want to miss!
