Hum : Is Duniya Me Do Prakar Ke Keede Hote Hain!!


Hum (Hindi:हम; English: We/Us) is a 1991 Bollywood film directed by Mukul S. Anand. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikant, Govinda, Kimi Katkar, Shilpa Shirodkar, Deepa Sahi and Danny Denzongpa. This was the last successful film for Bachchan in the early 90s before he announced his temporary retirement immediately after the release of this film for five years. He also won the Filmfare Best Actor Award in 1992.

Rajnikant's blockbuster "Baasha" which created new record was inspired by HUM

Tiger (Amitabh Bachchan) works for the local Don Bhaktawar (Danny Denzongpa) but never hesitates to revolt against him if he harms his friends or family. When his girlfriend Jumma (Kimi Katkar)'s brother Gonsalves (Romesh Sharma) is killed by Bhakhtawar for revolting against him, Tiger promises revenge. However Tiger's father Pratap (Deepak Shirde) intervenes and is killed accidentally. When corrupt police officer Girdhar (Anupam Kher) finds out that Tiger is on the hunt for Bhakhtawar, he kills Bhakhtawar's family and frames Tiger. Bhakhtawar is arrested soon after learning of his family's death for countless murders and promises to avenge his family's death by killing Tiger when he returns. Tiger is forced to go on the run with his two half-brothers with his girlfriend Jumma who decides to stay behind so that Tiger can fully concentrate on looking after his brothers. Many years later, he is now known as Shekhar and is living a happy life with his two grown-up brothers Kumar (Rajnikant) and Vijay (Govinda) as well as Kumar's wife Aarti (Deepa Sahi) and a daughter, Jyoti. Bhakhtawar returns from jail and is on the hunt for Tiger/Shekhar. He asks many people about where Shekar is. When he finds Tiger/Shekar he kidnaps Jyoti and Aarti. Bhaktwar thinks that Shekar killed his family! Meanwhile, Shekar, Vijay and Kumar look for Aarti and Jyoti at a train station and Kumar sees Shekar beat up a man that was making fun of Jyoti and Aarti. The climax of the movie follows the typical hindi movie.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan : A David Dhawan Film : Inspired by William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors!!


Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (literally translating to "Big Brother, Small Brother" in English) is a 1998 Bollywood film starring Govinda in a double role, Amitabh Bachchan in a double role, Anupam Kher, Ramya Krishna, and Raveena Tandon. Directed by David Dhawan, it was released in 1998 and was the first of Amitabh's films that had success at the box office since his comeback after a few years of hiatus from the Bollywood industry. is a remake of the Hollywood film Bad Boys.And is also inspired by William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors.

Two friends, Arjun Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) and Pyare Mohan (Govinda), are in the police force. Amitabh's sister Seema (Raveena Tandon) is in love with Pyare. Amitabh has no female companion and some pretty crude comments are often passed about his age.

Meanwhile, the villain Jorawar (Paresh Rawal) kills a cop who tries to pry into his private affairs—that's smuggling of arms and diamonds. Rawal also appears terrified of the police, but the mood seems to come and go. For when it comes to snuffing one out, he has no problem doing it. Along with the cop, he also gets rid of an eyewitness, played by Divya Dutta in a blink-and-you-miss-her role.

But there's another eyewitness, Neha (Ramya Krishnan), friend of the girl you hardly saw. She comes up to Arjun, confusing him for Pyare, but that's all cleared up in a few song sequences or so. Darned useful, these songs; nice way to get rid of uncomfortable problems.

Anyway, the trouble begins when the villains begin hunting for Neha, just when she's cavorting around with Arjun. Just when the heroes are all ready to go up a notch over the villains, in pop two petty thieves whom even their mothers would confuse for Arjun and Pyare. They call themselves Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan. The plot's in knots.

Arjun and Pyare are blamed for every crime the crooks commit and things aren't helped when Anupam Kher, the police commissioner, is also thrashed by the doubles.
