It does remind one of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's evergreen comedies (even though the execution, in comparison is a little less sophisticated). 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke' is Mahesh Bhatt's funniest film. I found Dilip Tahil irritatingly loud while Navneet Nishan was good as the caricature seductress. Of the child actors, Kunal Khemu leads the trio while the other two are passable at best. 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.
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. Aamir Khan it effective in a suitably restrained performance but it is Juhi Chawla who steals the show with her comic nirvana. Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla have already proved to be a great on screen pair and here they shine once again.
The romantic songs that include 'Mujhse Mohabbat', 'Ghoongat' and 'Woh Mere Neend' are the best. Why should one expect otherwise? The soundtrack is of the foot-tapping sort and very hummable. '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. I don't understand why so many criticize the movie for being too silly. The film isn't entirely original as it lifts from sources like 'Adventures in Babysitting' but the humour works most of the time. Mahesh Bhatt's 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke' is an out and out comedy. 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. 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 film is fast-paced and is aided by wonderful songs composed by Nadeem-Shravan which contribute to its effervescent style and light mood. Together they form a nice romantic couple (as they always do). 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. 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. Unlike many Hindi films made at that time, this one is very simple, light and entertaining. Mahesh Bhatt made some amazing dramatic and intense films in the 1980s, and this film is totally different in its approach. 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.
