Hum - Saath Saath Hain Movie Better

1. Executive Summary

The film has not aged well regarding its gender dynamics. The women are largely submissive, dedicated to serving the men, and defined by their relationships to their husbands. The film promotes the idea that the "sanskari" (cultured) woman is one who sacrifices her own desires for the family. The treatment of the servant characters (played by Satish Shah and Himani Shivpuri) can also feel dated and caricature-ish. hum saath saath hain movie
