Chale Sasural is another one of David Dhawan's comedies that stars Govinda, Karishma
Kapoor, and Tabbu. Although the first half of the movie delivers little comedy, the second
half makes the movies one of the funniest comedies ever made by David Dhawan. The one
thing that doesn't deliver (as in other Dhawan comedies, like Coolie No. 1) in this movie
is the first half, it bores the audience.
Shamu (Govinda) falls in love with Pooja (Karishma Kapoor). Shamu tricks her father into teaching him music, so that he can get close to Pooja. Pooja finds out that Shamu was just interested in her and not in music, so she gets angry at him. Shamu finally gets serious about music and Pooja forgives him. After that, Shamu has to come the city to somehow make money to pay back the sahukar. There he meets his good friend, Mutthu Swamy (Satish Kaushik). They both are in search of making money via producing an album. Shamu and Mutthu run into the owner of the Tips music company, Khurana (Kader Khan). From there, Shamu becomes rich. Shamu goes back to the village to repay the debt. Meanwhile, Khurana's daughter, Divya (Tabbu), falls in love with Shamu. In the village, Shamu learns that Pooja died in a flood. So he marries Divya with the wishes of Khurana. The fun starts when Pooja, actually alive, shows up at a hospital where Khurana and Divya are residing because of Khurana's heart problem.
Saajan Chale Sasural delivers as another hit of the Govinda-David Dhawan combination. This combination has delivered continuous hits since the Govinda-Chunky Pandy starrer in Aankhen. As usual, Govinda's acting is excellent, especially in the comedy scenes. Satish Kaushik has delivered marvelously as Mutthu Swamy. The character is characterized as well as Kaushik plays the role. Dhawan's direction is great, although the first part bores at times. Nadeem Sharavan's music doesn't deliver as well as Anand Milind's music in Dhawan's last couple films (Raja Babu and Coolie No. 1). Saajan Chale Sasural doesn't have any violence. Light comical movies with no violence seem to be the trend of the day.
