Saajan Chale Sasural is another one of David Dhawan's
comedies that stars Govinda, Karishma Kapoor, and Tabbu. Although the first
half of the movie delivers little comedy, the second half makes the movies
one of the funniest comedies ever made by David Dhawan. The one thing that
doesn't deliver (as in other Dhawan comedies, like Coolie No. 1) in this
movie is the first half, it bores the audience.
Shamu (Govinda) falls in love with Pooja (Karishma Kapoor).
Shamu tricks her father into teaching him music, so that he can get close
to Pooja. Pooja finds out that Shamu was just interested in her and not
in music, so she gets angry at him. Shamu finally gets serious about music
and Pooja forgives him. After that, Shamu has to come the city to somehow
make money to pay back the sahukar. There he meets his good friend, Mutthu
Swamy (Satish Kaushik). They both are in search of making money via producing
an album. Shamu and Mutthu run into the owner of the Tips music company,
Khurana (Kader Khan).
From there, Shamu becomes rich. Shamu goes back to the
village to repay the debt. Meanwhile, Khurana's daughter, Divya (Tabbu),
falls in love with Shamu. In the village, Shamu learns that Pooja died
in a flood. So he marries Divya with the wishes of Khurana. The fun starts
when Pooja, actually alive, shows up at a hospital where Khurana and Divya
are residing because of Khurana's heart problem.
Saajan Chale Sasural delivers as another hit of the Govinda-David
Dhawan combination. This combination has delivered continuous hits since
the Govinda-Chunky Pandy starrer in Aankhen. As usual, Govinda's acting
is excellent, especially in the comedy scenes. Satish Kaushik has delivered
marvelously as Mutthu Swamy. The character is characterized as well as
Kaushik plays the role. Dhawan's direction is great, although the first
part bores at times. Nadeem Sharavan's music doesn't deliver as well as
Anand Milind's music in Dhawan's last couple films (Raja Babu and Coolie
No. 1). Saajan Chale Sasural
doesn't have any violence. Light comical movies with
no violence seem to be the trend of the day.

Singhania to kill him and take over his underworld empire. Raj and Prem vow to take revenge.

looting their rival's contraband goods. Raj Through his police background start harassing
Tejeswar. Pooja makes Prem realise that what he is doing by wearing a police uniform and
helping the underworld is wrong. Prem realises this and changes into a new man. Prem
challenges Raj and tells him to stop his underworld activites. Does Raj listen to Prem's warning
and stops his business? How far does the rivalry between Raj and Prem go? Does Tejaeswar
succeed in killing both the brothers?
