Focus: Joy, color, family, and tradition.
The film relies heavily on the charisma of its lead actors to drive the narrative forward:
The story revolves around Vikram Mayur (Shah Rukh Khan), a wealthy non-resident Indian (NRI) living in London. He travels to India to retrieve his late brother’s son, who is being raised by a vibrant local woman named Bijuriya (Sonali Bendre). The movie contrasts Westernized lifestyles with traditional Indian values, a popular thematic trend in 1990s Bollywood.
Finally, we cannot ignore the 21st-century Indian. While villages hold the tradition, the cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata) are rewriting the script.
💡 : The film is a classic example of the mid-90s "NRI Diaspora" genre in Bollywood, emphasizing that "Home is where the heart is."
