With aid of his mother (who likes the unassuming Suman) and his comic friend Manohar, Prem sets out to win Suman's heart. At that point, he realizes that he has fallen in love with her. Suman leaves in tears and distances herself from Prem. They humiliate Suman and accuse her of scheming to marry Prem. Then Prem takes Suman to a party put on by some of his rich friends. The pair share outings and confidences and all seems to be going well. She is befriended by Kishan's son Prem ( Salman Khan), who assures her that he has no romantic interest in her and that a boy and a girl can be platonic friends. Will Kishan let Karan's daughter Suman ( Bhagyashree) stay at his house? Kishan cannot turn down his old friend's request and Suman comes to live with Kishan's family.Īt first country girl Suman is ill at ease in the huge mansion. However, when Karan prepares to work abroad, he turns to Kishan to solve a problem. Kishan is a rich man with a vast business empire with little time for old friends. The widowed Karan is a poor engineer who lives in a humble house in the country. Maybe that’s why the Barjatyas’ are hit directors.Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.Īlthough they have been friends for years, Karan and Kishan have grown apart and have little in common. Not only do the songs become so loveable and memorable but also they make us want to see the film over and over again. There is an element of excellence and true melody in each of these tunes. A mixture of the best of the best it’s a stroll down memory lane brought to us by Lata, S.P., Shailendra and Usha. These even come around now (and we wonder if they will be in their next release). Sharda Sinha sings for the tune.Įnding it all off is another “Made-For-Barjatyas”- Antakshri. “ Kahe To He Sajna” is this film’s classical tune. The songs are most likely not on the cassettes or CD’s released nowadays but serve a purpose more for the film. It’s been a common practice until the recent Hum Saath Saath Hain to have a semi-classical, semi-shaadi number in the soundtracks of Barjatya’s films. A lot of dramatic intervals and the piano take precedence in what is a good solo. Asad’s lyrics stand out more than anything. to take it to heights that hit the right notes. Pyar Kiya… Pyar Kiya…”ĭescribing the depth of a man’s love is “ Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali” a song that once again relies on S.P. leading the song straight through! The eighties styled song will without a doubt have you saying, “ Maine Pyaar Kiya. The latter is just as sweet though clearly ripped off from the American jazz tune “I Just Called To Say I Love You…” Either way R-L have done a good job copying the tune! The former is a qawaali styled track opening up with the harmonium and leading us into an infectious ditty with S.P. “ Maine Pyar Kiya” penned by Asad Bhopali and “Aata Jaate Hanste Gaate” penned by Dev Kohli are the two title tracks. and Shailendra Singh singing to match the mood. Lively, smiling and dancing, the Barjatya motto? “ Aaye Mausam Dosti Ki” surely says that, a chummy song about friends that flows well with the happy tunes on the soundtrack with Lata, her sister Usha, S.P. Sound corny? Lata Mangeshkar sounding as sweet as ever will surely convince you otherwise. “ Kabootar Ja Ja”, a song situational to the film ends up being so loveable that it’s a tune one would hum on a spring day chasing away the pigeons. Asad Bhopali penned some wonderful tunes here, this being one of them. Especially when it is repeated twice on the soundtrack. Still with that being the case we have no reason not to appreciate the lovely duet. “ Dil Deewana” was probably one of the first tunes to hold the title before Sameer started using it over and over again in his future projects. Dev Kohli’s playful lyrics are quite enjoyable amongst RamLaxman’s melody. Whether it is in their respective solos, “ Dil Deewana” or in the upbeat lovable number “ Aaja Shaam Ho Ne Aaye” and “ Aate Jaate Hanste Gaate”. They complimented each other’s vocals excellently matching each other’s step to step. Balasubrhmanium made an excellent vocal duo in this soundtrack. Raam Laxman always gave them their best and with Maine Pyar Kiya, the biggest hit of 1989, their music was such a delight that well, you can’t help but not love it. Though their films always had “safe” content (the stuff any family would go back to watch), their music was always sweet, syrupy and in one word- excellent. If there is anything that aided the Barjatya group in their film’s successes it is the music.
