Maine Pyar Kiya (1989)

This movie is like trying to retrieve gold from the river so it does not drift away into nothingness. It is a reminder of the gorgeous past of the late 1980s Hindi cinema. Also, it is the 'Titanic' of Indian cinema. Recently my family put it on and we were immediately glued to the movie. The chemistry between Salman Khan and Bhagyashree is one of a kind, portraying the innocence of youth and the blossoming of their friendship into deep love for each other is truly a heartwarming experience. In my honest opinion, true love between man and woman is a blessing from God and should be cherished. Rima Lagu plays the mother and she does a great job too. May her soul rest in peace. It is unfortunate these kinds of movies will never be made again, at least in my life time due to change in mindset from generation to generation, but this movie is a sweet reminder of the past of what we left behind and will most certainly be an inspiration to future generations who get a chance to watch this classic. Also, after reading some other reviews, I was very happy to see that some people found inspiration to find true love in their lives after watching this movie. This movie is fantastic, the best Hindi movie of all time, and like I said, it is the Titanic of Indian cinema. Unbeatable, unmatched, totally awesome!!!!

I first watched "Maine Pyar Kiya" when I was 6-7, and still I've the remembrance of the movie as a childhood memory. Still I like this film and hop to some of the nice sequences. It's not that the story is very different or mature; but the treatment with which it's presented makes it special. '80s when the movies used to be of low budget or full of action or explosions, this movie creates a retreat to the audiences bored of the same formulaic movies. The film does have villains and fight sequences, but the goodness of the film overshadows the weakness. The speciality of the film is its innocence and beauty with which the romance is blossomed. The sets, background score, music all contribute to the beautiness of the film. Still every song of this film remain sweet. The performances of the new comers Salman Khan and Bhagya Shree give a freshness to the movie. Their innocence just get deep inside. Besides, special mentions should go to Alok Nath, Rajiv Verma, Reema lagoo, and Mohnish Behl for their lively supports as character artists. Overall, "Maine Pyar Kiya" is one of the most beautiful movies of Bollywood, which saw a wide success for a genuine reason, and proved good movies succeed rather than the big star studded blockbusters.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

a typical Hindi film - but oh, the beauty and the tenderness and the warmth of the love story...its the reason i fell i love with films! not to forget the fact that it gave Hindi cinema one of its biggest stars - salman khan. his casting couldn't have been more perfect. forgive me for sounding cheesy, but those big, wounded eyes packed in a punch. there wasn't a single member of the female species unaffected - old and young, mums and daughters, teenage girls and grandmas. and the reason he was so effective - a near perfect film with wonderfully appealing characters, almost unbearably tender romance, and a dash of healthy drama! play it again sam!!
