Tum Mere Ho (1990)

For a long time, I thought Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla only did two movies together: the classic Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and the adorable Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke. This is not true. There is also Tum Mere Ho. I was alerted to this absolute gem of a movie by the fellows at Pretentious Movie Reviews, which you should watch right this minute.




It’s got astonishingly regressive treatment of women, and that’s even for a 90s movie. The songs are mediocre, the soundtrack consists primarily of this annoying snake-charming tune, and the special effects are, well, they are very special and not very effective. It also has hilarious outfits. It is amazing in the best B-movie way, and I had to watch it all in one sitting. It’s actually pretty entertaining all the way through.
