After the unscaled success of Hum…Aapke Hain Koun, Sooraj Barjatya’as dilemma was: what next? In a throwback conversation Sooraj shared, “Main kidhar jaaon? That was the question for me. I chose a full-fledged family drama that was close to my heart. I signed all the actors that I believed would reflect my vision of a happy family. Luckily, they were all perfect. Salman, Mohnish, Alok Nathji, Reema Lagoo and (music composer) Ram Laxman had already worked with me in Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum…Aapke Hain Koun. But you know whom I really missed in Hum Saath Saath Hain? Lataji!”
25 Years of Hum Saath Saath Hai: “I wish we had Lataji in the film” – Sooraj BarjatyaWhat brings the celebratory mood down in Hum Saath Saath Hain is the music. Ram Laxman who whipped up a creamy lather of peppy songs in Hum…Aapke Hain Koun came up with a droopy soggy slew of chorus songs.
Sooraj Barjatya admitted the music was a feeble follow up to Hum…Aapke Hain Koun. “You see, we couldn’t ask Lataji to sing in Hum Saath Saath Hai as all the songs were chorus songs requiring several singers together. Lataji made Hum…Aapke Hain Koun very special. We had to make do without her in Hum Saath Saath Hain.”
As for Hum Saath Saath Hain underperforming vis a vis Hum…Aapke Hain Koun, Sooraj had said, “That was only to be expected. History couldn’t be made at the same place twice. But I am very happy with the love that Hum Saath Saath Hain has received.”
