Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Excellent, a Must See

Brilliant and touching

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Humara Dil Aapke Paas Hai (My heart lies with you) Story line: A priest, whose walls are full of pictures of various Hindu Gods , has a daughter (Ash) who is raped and thrown on the streets!- meaning: the priest who is worshipping Gods – day in and day out...must be doing something terribly wrong after all – otherwise such a gory happening would have been averted by the greatest benevolent God! Eg. a true devotee like Prahlad was saved over and over again by the tyranny of his own father King Hiranyakashyap.Such films create atheists basically who start behaving like blind and dumb blokes thinking that there is nothing as Gods after all and the film actors and actresses are the real gods – they employ them to dance along with them as extras in 'chaddi-baniyaan', give them generous tips, entertain them... basically make life worth living!!...whereas Gods.....? why in the film Ash's father was a priest but what happened to her!? She was humiliated and thrown out of her house too! So the priest threw out his DNA extension! Shows how stupid and dumb these priests are! She had be raped damn it- not a fault of hers! Had she become some call-girl or some escort female – it may be understandable by commoners ..that parents will obviously drive her out because she had been sleeping around in exchange of money or fun...but this case was entirely different – she was raped – an accident.In comes Anil Kapoor to Ash's rescue! Anil was taking care of his father's illegitimate children! Now look at that – pious priest's daughter saved by debauch beep's son! They both play the live-in game for a while – much to the discomfort of the neighborhood ...and eventually get married! Wowza!! Happy ending! Conclusion: Priests are brainless nitwits and are not connected to God(s) in any way – or else his daughter would have returned home unscratched – they are cheating, swindling and misleading people.Like father, like son – is not always applicable after all! Anil was not shown as a womaniser here – like until they got married, Anil did not even look at Ash with ...any kind of intentions ...rather difficult for any commoner to do – with such an exquisite beauty at home working as a governess cum secretary...at your beck and call..I mean can you imagine males?!Under ordinary circumstances...and given the fact that Anil's father was a debauch – Anil and Ash would have done full justice to the Live-in relationship...but Hindi film after all – they cannot show a female agreeing to sleep with a male before wedlock – it is considered to be a taboo here...though many..many ...many in real life, in India - are happily involved in this 'taboo' locha!

After witnessing an attack, Preeti approaches the police, but when the gangsters find out, they rape her in hopes that it will silence her...Her family kick her out and the rest of society treats her as if it was her fault, until Avinash arrives, taking her in.Rape is a subject that people avoid, but it is one of the most horrible things one person can do to another. Bollywood known for their big song & dance numbers, work a way to talk about a subject that is serious. I would recommend that families do not watch this film, as it is not for children...."Hamara dil aapke paas hai" was a very good song, while Anil Kapoor gives a brilliant performance, Aishwariya Rai, is also quite endearing as the victim with no where to go.

HDAPH could have been a much better film had the so-called comedy scenes been toned down, reduced, or deleted all together. At times, they were so tedious that I was tempted to fast forward the DVD. I was starting to feel that the director, writers, and producers were reluctant to approach a serious topic without infusing it with massive overdoses of nonsensical nonsense. If not, then the only reason for the comedy was to pad the film to make it longer. This is about the 3rd Indian movie that I have seen recently where the comedy sequences brought the primary story line to a screeching halt and seriously eroded the impact of the film on the viewer. I would have changed my vote from a 6 to an 8 had the comedy been deleted and the rest of the story fleshed out in greater detail.As for the rest of the story, I liked all the performances although Sonali Bendre was a little much at times. I am also constantly amazed over how Anil Kapoor's character in this film and most of his movies is easily able to beat up one or two dozen bad guys without having any idea how he became so skilled. He just does not fit the role of a Sunny Deol.The songs and locations were good although somewhat out of place but that is OK and significantly more palatable than feeble attempts at comedy.

The story started with a simple happy family of Avinash (Anil Kapoor) and Preeti (Aishwarya Rai) having a family outing with their two kids. On the next scene, we saw that Preeti was hated by her own father. As the curiosity of the audience started to increase, the story unfolds itself when the film showed flashback for the audience to know the real story of Preeti and Avinash. Both have a dark secret that they tried to hide.The story coped about the stigma in India on rape victims. It was clearly illustrated in the film that a rape victim will be shunned by her own family and society. She would be doomed to be unmarried for life since her father would be ashamed to consider her as 'perished goods'. An astounding performance by the lead especially Aishwarya Rai as Preeti, the rape victim. I would suggest this story to anyone who wanted to see the taboo breaking on rape victim in India.
