![]() ![]() Kiran becomes a leading heroine by chance (she only wanted to be a leading playback singer) and extends an olive branch towards her husband. ![]() He loses a break with the leading music pair (modeled rather well on Nadeem Shravan- down to the Van Dyke beard) because he tells them that their music is pedestrian. The story now shifts towards Aamir and the kid and how Aamir gets to know his son (whom he has sort of neglected thus far). Kiran´s burning desire to be something other than a housewife and her husband´s apathy drive her to leave the house leaving the kid behind (the possibility of a nervous breakdown is strongly suggested). Her husband Aamir is too consumed in his own quest for musical stardom to bother about her wish for a career. The heroine Kiran ( Manisha Koirala) wants a career in singing, but finds it tough to even do her riyaaz regularly with all her housework and having to manage a hyperactive kid ( Master Adil, I believe). The initial sequences of boy (a struggling singer cum composer) meeting girl (a so-so singer who does not want shastriya sangeet imposed on her by her parents), falling in love, defying her parents (who look down on ´bhikari´ sangeet) and getting married are rushed through with elan and the director settles down to relate what happens thereafter. ![]() He never lets style overtake substance (seems to be the fashion nowadays) and maintains a taut control at every stage in the entire movie.ĪHAT starts where every Hindi movie usually ends. In fact the only thing common to his earlier movies is Aamir Khan and his lowkey approach to a subject. While his contemporaries like Indra Kumar have been content to recycle their earlier hits, Mansoor Khan wisely decides to chart new territory. ![]() The maker of the teenage love classic ´ Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak´ and that wonderful bicycle movie ´ Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander´ now decides to grow up and presents a sensitive potrayal of a marriage break-up in his latest movie- Akele Hum Akele Tum (Where does he get these wonderful four-word titles? Seems his father Nasir Hussain suggested this one). When was the last time you saw a mature love story in mainstream Hindi movies? Seems ages ago.
