i watched Kramer vs Kramer yesterday and that forced me to think about akele hum akele tum which I had watched years before. AHAT copies the Kramer vs Kramer sometimes scene and even dialogue by dialogue while at other times to give things Indian touch they play havoc with main story line so Manisha's parent have to be devils and she has to be super talented to garner public sympathy as to why she separated. Amir has to meet this villainous music director duo from film industry to jutify his negligence towards manisha. This shows that main story is not strong and i.e. why director needs this 'doping' of story. While copying story director forgot that with 5,000 salary in Mumbai Amir can't possibly afford the flat he is shown living in and not treat his child with costly icecream everyday. This struck very odd to me when I saw AHAT but after watching Kramer vs Kramer I know the inspiration !. Court scenes are more subtly handled in Kramer vs Kramer but maybe to sell movie in India all this was needed.
I watched movie on TV long after it was released but its songs were hit
1. Dance sequence of amir khan in club- rarely you find indian heroes singing with guitar
2. Character of music director duo seemed to hint at someone in bollywood
3. Character of Tanvi Azmi was first of its kind in India. As the movie was copy from hollywood there was no parallel for her charcter
4. Bania and other neighbours were addition on hollwood.
5. Sexual part from Kramer vs Kramer was removed so Amir Khan did not sleep with any colleague in his wife's absence and Tanvi was not looking for a boyfriend.
6. happy ending ( it is india come on)
