This film will work with the family audience, especially the middle class, and the small town audience, in a big way! Now to call it a progressive film just because the father-in-law wants to get his daughter-in-law married is utter nonsense!

Let's begin with the story. Balraj Kapoor (Amitabh Bachchan) is a rich businessman with a progressive and modern outlook towards life. Shobhna (Hema Malini) is his lovable and adorable wife (ditto like 'Baghban'). The two dote on their only child, Avinash (Salman Khan).

For Balraj, Avinash is more a buddy than a son. After seven years in the U.S., Avinash returns home, adding to his parents cup of joy. He meets Millie (Rani Mukerji), a painter, and is smitten by her. (No offence to Rani but she looks more the girl-next-door who would grow on a man, not make him fall for her at first sight.) Anyway, the two fall in love and get married. They are blessed with a cute kid, Ansh.
