Hum Saath-Saath Hain top hit of '99
2000 Jan Digital Hidustan Times
Hum Saath-Saath Hain, Sooraj Barjatya's latest paean to Bharatiya sanskriti, has become the highest grosser of the last year, overtaking David Dhawan's Biwi No.1 at the box-office. While Dhawan's movie had grossed over Rs 25 crores in it's silver-jubilee run, the Rajshri multi-starrer has almost reached the 42 crore mark, by its ninth week, thanks partly to a whopping 4 million dollars collected in the overseas territory. HSSH is the first ever Bollywood venture to break into the US Top 10 charts, and did better in the US than such Hollywood blockbusters like Eyes Wide Shut and Blair Witch Project. In the UK too, HSSH broke into the top 10, following the successful trend established by last year's Dil Se and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

So, he was ready to do an emotional role.” D’Souza considers Aamir’s refusal a blessing in disguise. “The character perfectly suited him. I personally feel Aamir wouldn’t have fitted this much. As they say, whatever happens, happens for the good,” he said.  This is how it became Salman and Dutt’s first film together. D’Souza informs that they mostly had fun on the sets. “They
