Like the fact that Sushmita Sen’s character maintains her dignity as a teacher and does not pursue her feelings for a student. But there were certain things about the film that appealed to the non-fan me too.
As a hardcore SRK fan, I loved the film unquestionably. Scenes such as the race atop the college’s roof, and the one that follows after, when Ram becomes gets inducted into his brother’s college gang, possibly every scene with the teachers in it, and of course some pretty great action scenes like the car chase that SRK does in an auto are what make the film memorable.įarah Khan did manage to give us a complete family entertainer that we could watch over and over again, much unlike her other attempts at directing that followed. As for the emotional connect, when SRK is leading the charge, mouthing dialogues by Abbas Tyrewala ( Munnabhai MBBS, Maqbool, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na), you know it’s going to hit people right in the feels. The film’s music (by Anu Malik and Ranjit Barot lyrics by Javed Akhtar) and action (by Allan Amin) amply held up their end of the bargain. Satish Shah as Mr Rasai, the spitting professor whose favourite punishment was phlegm, Kirron Kher as the doting mother to an orphan Ram and her own son Lucky, Rajeev Punjabi as the nerdy friend Percy, and even Rakhi Sawant as the college’s hot property Mini, added considerable appeal to the film, all the while nailing the comic timing. Boman Irani as the goofy, forgetful college principal with a penchant for eccentric ties stole the show! We’d all want a principal like that! Another hilarious character was the Hindi teacher, Mrs Kakad (Bindu), who mispronounced English words, making students run far away from her. Main Hoon Na belonged as much to the supporting cast as it did to the leads. And the fact that Sanjana (Rao) realises how Lucky’s behaviour changed with her clothes is a minor relief that the girl knows what’s up. But now when you think of it, a strong, sexy, independent professor like Sushmita Sen’s character helping a student find what they were looking for doesn’t sound so bad. But this was 2004, and the ‘woke folk’ hadn’t yet found their bearings.
In fact, it was a common Bollywood trope people liked. The petite Amrita Rao’s conformation to gender norms just so she could get a boy to like her wasn’t a thorn in anyone’s side back then. Not a big fan of this Khan’s acting, but even he was pleasantly watchable in the film, despite the bandanas! SRK and Zayed's funny banter was one of the best things about the film! There was also Zayed Khan, who played his younger brother and classmate, Lakshman/Lucky. Those adorable knit sweaters and his lack of ‘college cool’ made for a very endearing character. Back then, when the Khans were still not averse to playing college students, it was nice to see him act his age. The charming SRK led some genuine innocence and believable patriotism to his character of Major Ram Sharma. The film had quite a lot of things going for it, which made it a thorough family entertainer.

Instead, it was a fun back-to-school kind of story for a 30-year-old army man, undercover for personal and professional reasons. Surprisingly, her film wasn’t about dance or anything even remotely close to it, which was the trend for many a future choreographers-turned-filmmakers, and even Farah herself, when she tried to make that abysmal Happy New Year. Naturally, she went with bankable friend SRK in the lead role. Main Hoon Na was choreographer Farah Khan’s directorial debut. And Farah Khan’s Main Hoon Na, even after a decade and a half, clearly makes it to that list of films.

But when they do pop up on your TV screen while you’re channel surfing, you pause right away and watch them. These days, with all the content that’s available to us, we don’t actively seek out to watch a film like Dhoom or Swades.
Veer Zaara and Main Hoon Na two even became the top 2 highest grossing films of 2004. In fact, This would be a stellar year for the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, with three of his films- Veer Zaara, Main Hoon Na and Swades-getting immense love from people and at the BO, as well as three Filmfare Best Actor nominations. The year was 2004, which would go on to add some truly memorable films to its roster-The first (and best) outing of the Dhoom franchise, Veer Zaara, Lakshya, Aitraaz, Swades, Black Friday, Raincoat, Murder, Hum Tum, Yuva, and many more.
