The return of the Sanyukt Bharatiya Parivar 

Mimmy Jain  
A recent newspaper report said that Rajshri Pictures had asked movie hall owners bidding to release Hum Saath Saath Hain to fill in a questionnaire regarding their theatre's eligibility to exhibit the prestigious Diwali release. Here's a questionnaire for you guys to decide whether you should see the new Rajshri production:

1. Do you watch re-runs of Ramayana for the nth time on television?
2. Do you go to watch a movie to catch up on family life, while the hubby (or wife) is working overtime?
3. Do you believe in the Sanyukt Bharatiya Parivar?
4. Do you have a secret craving to be part of a large khandaan, which cries and laughs together?
5. Do you believe in turning the other cheek when someone hits you?
6. Are you chauvinistic enough to believe that women take most decisions in a household and that they are mostly the wrong ones?
7. Do you seriously think that no matter how much a step-mother may have cherished her step-son, when it comes to property, blood always wins?
8. Do youthink Mother-even Step-Mom-is always right, no matter what the consequences of her decisions for you?
9. Do you think songs and dances are an integral part of a Hindi movie? That they add to its viewability?
10. If you answered yes to no. 9, can you stomach four songs in a row without a pause?
11. Can you sit through 15 minutes of introductions to the members of a celluloid family without thinking of the loo?
12. Do you sincerely feel Mohnish Bahl is a good actor, who just didn't have the luck to hit big-time?
13 Are you so much of a fan of Salman Khan that you can watch an entire movie in which he takes off his shirt only once?
14 Do you think honestly that Sonali Bendre talks best with her eyes? (You can count on your fingers the lines she speaks in the movie.)
15 Do you believe that Karisma Kapoor can do a perfect Madhuri on the audience?
16 Do you believe Rima Lagoo could nurture Shah Rukhish tendencies to play the villainess?
17. Do you think Jayashree T and Kalpana Iyer canmake a comeback?
18. Do you think Suraj Barjatya can make a film without Alok Nath, Ajit Vachchani, Himani Shivpuri and Huma?
19. Did you think that the only flaw in Hum Aapke Hain Koun was that they killed off Renuka Shahane just when it was getting interesting?
20. Did you think that HAHK had too few weddings?
If you answered `Yes' to more than 10 of the above, book your tickets for Hum Saath Saath Hain.
Still puzzled? Okay, one last test. How many times did you watch Hum Aapke Hain Koun? Did you tape it when they showed it earlier this year on TV? Yes to both? Make a run for the nearest theatre!
