I was struggling how to rate this movie. In the beginning I had a feeling I would give this movie a 1/10. After the absurd and absolutely unfunny scene with the wallet I thought the movie will be total garbage. And actually it was such for about 1.5 hrs (which often is a whole movie length). But at the end some fun got added with Govinda dressing up as his uncle. The acting was not that great. At least not when it comes to the two main characters. They overacted big time. But one of them still got me to laugh with his dressing up as uncle parts.The dancing and singing scenes were pretty good. Although the meaning of them has to be overlooked to enjoy. Otherwise it is this weird pattern of old guys harassing young women and them falling in love with them at the end for no apparent reason. Weird. Another weird thing is that there are men who are 40 and don't look any younger being treated like they are very young men. What the hell is this about? Do they have no male actors under 40 in India? Do young actors just dance in movies until they are old enough to play a 20 year old who looks like it is timer to retire? Well I just give it an average for some special scenes which came at the end and kind of erased the memory of how horrible the beginning was.

View MoreDavid Dhawan has never been known for being an original director and he always used to repeat the same formula. haseena Maan Jayegi with a title from a 1960s film, starring Shashi Kapoor and copies a subplot from Pyaar Kiye Jaa(1966) where Kishore Kumar dresses up as Shashi's rich father. He also mixes his own formula from Aankhen(1993) where 2 heroes keep troubling their father(incidentally played by Govinda and Kader Khan again). The film does have several humorous situations especially whenever Govinda and Sanju trouble Kader Khan, It does have it's share of corny moments like Govinda and Karisma romance. The subplot of Pyaar Kiye Jaa although is humorous and the scenes between Aruna Irani and Govinda are funny. The climax is funny though corny again.Direction is okay Music is decent, I Love You Bol Daal became famous,title song is good rest are okayGovinda is simply brilliant in his role as always, Sanjay Dutt is okay though he pairs well with Govinda, this was their comeback film after Taaqatwar,Do Qaidi and Andolan and was their first hit. Karisma Kapoor does her usual act which she repeated in DD films though she entertain,Pooja Bhatra is awkward Anupam Kher hams as always,Aruna Irani is good Ashish Vidyarthi,Razzak Khan are cartoonish villains and okay Kader Khan is hilarious though he repeats his stuff Satish Kaushik is too good,rest are okay
... View MoreOne of my favorite Govinda movies. Can't get enough of it. Not to be missed even if you are not into the Govinda style of acting AKA over-acting, It might just be Govinda's best performance in a comic role.HMJ is one of those movies which you can watch sitting at home with a group of friends, N number of times. Great comic performances by Anupum Kher, Kader Khan, Sunjay Dutt, Paresh Rawal, the thin mobster guy, the fat mobster guy, Satish Kaushik! (Kunj Biharii), even shakuntala(bua- ji). Just feels like the entire movie was an improv. The actors looked like they were actually having fun. Loads of great one liners and dialogs. On my list of top comedy movies this one stands right on top with Andaz Apna Apna and Chupke Chupke.
... View MoreThe movie is really a roller coaster ride of fun with many sub plots.From beginning to end there is fun in every scene. Even though Govinda and Sanju are main characters in the plot he other characters also deliver fun.The movie is roller coaster of fun because every character has a funny moment which will always remain in our mind.Although the story is old and simple, it attracts everybody to watch repeatedly the movie.Govinda and Anupam Kher give their support to make this movie a funny one till end.The jokes are really fantastic.Lastly I want to say that Govinda's body language is best in this movie compared to previous movies.everybody mus purchase a DVD of this one and enjoy it frequently because this is a great stress reliever.
