I'd recommend watching and enjoying it with family. The only other Barjatya films I watched are 'Vivah' and 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' (so it's quite clear that his films aren't to be taken too seriously) but for me 'Hum Saath Saath Hai' definitely tops those two.

I'd say it's one film best watched with the family. The plot is predictable but there's more to the film. The three friends who play Lagoo's friends seem like caricatures. Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Shakti Kapoor and the rest of the cast are mostly brilliant. Saif is wonderful as the hyperactive Vinod as are Salman as the quiet Prem and Mohnish as the responsible Vivek. The two actresses are more than a positive addition. She adds a lot of class and her body language is a standout. Tabu's downplayed expression in the scene right after Alok Nath and Reema Lagoo's argument is stunning. Tabu and Sonali add grace and sincerity to their characters. All the actors suit their roles very well. In addition to that the dances have been beautifully choreographed. The songs are very pleasant and nicely add to the screenplay. The set designs are impressive and the locales are spectacular (particularly the Rampur scenes). Yes, it's larger than life and some might call it 'too good to be true' but it's entertaining. The family tradition is nicely portrayed. Just sit down and enjoy it without expecting a serious drama. The moral of the story is that family should stick together, that's when they're the strongest. It's a colourful feel good film and not one that will make you seriously pick your brains. It's one of the films I enjoy most when watching with family. 'Hum Saath Saath Hai' is a simple family drama.
