Indian Film: HUM (WE/US)

Hello it's Bilal again, now I will do a blog about another action, family-drama film which is called HUM, in English translation it means (WE/US), this film is considered to be one of the 90's classic and has earned a blockbuster status. Here is an image and 2 songs from the movie.

I will now tell you what this film is about in a big summary because this film has a long story, I am sorry. This action, family drama saga is set in an old-fashioned BOMBAY and it starts off with BAKHTAWAR who rules over the docks in BOMBAY, treating his workers as slaves. Despite his general dissatisfaction with this regime,TIGER (the main character in this film) extorts money from the dock workers for his father PRATAP (he does not mean to do it, he is forced by his father to do it) , who in turn works as an enforcer for BAKHTAWAR.
TIGER is in love with his best friend GONSLAVES 's sister JUMMA . GONSLAVES is against BAKHTAWAR's policies and is killed by BAKHTAWAR and in the subsequent fall-out TIGER’s father and step-mother also die, leaving his two young step-brothers KUMAR and VIJAY with him.
TIGER immediately sets out to kill BAKHTAWAR but is stopped by INSPECTOR GIRDHAR. GIRDHAR reminds TIGER to fulfil his dying step-mother’s wish and take care of his brothers while leaving the police to deal with BAKHTAWAR, GIRDHAR and his faithful sidekick HAVALDAR (CONSTABLE) ARJUN SINGH steal money from BAKHTAWAR’s safe and set fire to BAKHTAWAR’s house to destroy any evidence, killing BAKHTAWAR's wife and his little daughters. Police later arrests BAKHTAWAR for killing TIGER's family and sends him to jail. TIGER escapes in a train and JUMMA refuses to stay with TIGER since he has to take care of his step brothers. JUMMA and TIGER promise to reunite in the future. GIRDHAR bombs the train carrying TIGER and his brothers to eliminate any possible witnesses of his crime but TIGER and his brothers somehow survive.
TIGER renames himself as SHEKHAR and 15 years later he is a respectable farmer and timber merchant in OOTY. KUMAR is a POLICE OFFICER who is married to AARTI with a young daughter JYOTI . The youngest brother VIJAY is a college student. VIJAY is in love with ANITA  the daughter of  GENERAL RANA PRATAP SINGH who is very strict and wants his daughter to get married to a MILITARY OFFICER. SHEKHAR and his brothers lead a happy family life. Neither of the two step brothers seem to have any memory of their time in BOMBAY and both regard SHEKHAR as their elder brother. JUMMA is now a successful actress while GIRDHAR and ARJUN SINGH are leading a luxurious life due to the stolen money of BAKHTAWAR.
BAKHTAWAR is released from jail and is misguided by GIRDHAR in believing that TIGER killed BAKHTAWAR's family. To seek revenge BAKHTAWAR tracks down TIGER in OOTY. He kidnaps AARTI and JYOTI and tells them the truth about SHEKHAR. Meanwhile, KUMAR also finds the true identity of SHEKHAR and is upset since it was due to his brother SHEKHAR, his family was kidnapped. However all the misunderstandings are cleared by JUMMA when she explains VIJAY and KUMAR the truth about them being step-brothers and about their past and the sacrifices done by SHEKHAR to make them lead a respectable life.
Later at the BOMBAY docks where BAKHTAWAR is holding AARTI and JYOTI as hostage, TIGER along with KUMAR and VIJAY rescue AARTI and JYOTI and explain to BAKHTAWAR that it was GIRDHAR who has killed his family. After BAKHTAWAR's henchmen and GIRDHAR's henchmen are killed by the 3 brothers BAKHTAWAR then ties himself along with GIRDHAR to a bomb and they both die due to the explosion. The film ends with the family happily united.

In my opinion I love this film, it's one of the best family drama film I have ever seen, I love the story, the songs/music, the comedy & drama, the action and the actors who acted in this film, I suggest you should watch this film to it's very good.
