I was a kid then but i know the craze that hum generated. it was a huge hit and i just loved amitabh in it.right from his intro scene with that BGM. i had heard that jooma chooma song used to be played twice in theatres becuase of public request!
Thanedaar is also among my fav films from that era. one of sanjay dutt best performances
Hum was my first movie in theater by myself. There was a huge roar and lots of whistles for Amitabh’s entry scene as well as the scene you posted. There were a lot of college students even though it was a Sunday matinee show and they were tearing papers and throwing in air during Jumma Chumma song and making so much noise.
Watched Thanedaar on Video back then. Did not like it and don’t remember liking Sanjay Dutt either. Only remember that he was so bad at dancing in that Tamma Tamma song.
i am big fan of thanedaar. 🙂 sanjay dutt was howlarious in it. it was the first film i believe which explored his comic side which later was capiltalised in films like khalnayak, munna bhai series with some variations.
he was in top form be it the scene where he spends a whole night practising signature in the cell or this song:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=F4OI8oRiNPc
The main tune of the song sounds like Aye Dil Mujhe Bata De.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=E5mw13wST8o
one of fav scene
https://youtube.com/watch?v=1YWHDdtI1jU
another fav scene (when crowd gathers).. the song is cheesy for the situation ofc 😉

Thanedar was mainly in news for striking resemblesof its song ‘tamma tamma loge tamma’ with Hum’s ‘chumma chumma’.
I have very fond memories of HUM. Its audio was out in 1990 first half itself and movie was suppose to release in same year, but due to Babri Masjid and reservation episodes, it got extremely delayed .. to extent that Jumma-Chumma song almost lost its charm when movie was released in Feb, 1991 .. but still audience was breathlessly awaiting it.
HUM was very costly movie. I remember the trade war after its release. It did unparalleled business in initial weeks, but slowed down after that. Trade was divided means everything was not perfect.
This is the magazine where very interesting trade war was published about its business. ..
Yes Hum opened very well initially but later on it did not do that well. In my place I think it ran for 50 days in regular shows where hit movies usually ran for 100 days or more and it ran in morning shows after that. This was very surprising as the response was so good in the theater and I had liked the movie too back then.
In our cinema in Haryana HUM was screened after 2 months of release and ran for 4 weeks and did excellent business. I am giving you some rough stats of few important movies released in our cinema around that time ..
Akayla – 2 weeks
Hum – 4 weeks
Baazigar – 3 weeks
Khuda Gawah – 3 weeks
Saajan – 4 weeks
Saudagar – 3 weeks
Phool Aur Kaante – 3 weeks
Narsimha – 3 weeks
Love – 1 week
Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar – 2 weeks
Dilwale – 3 weeks
Darr – 2 weeks
Khalnayak – 3 weeks
However success of movie was not directly proportionate to number of weeks run. It was depends on many factors including print cost, minimum guarantee, flow of new releases and of course on top of that occupancy. Post HAHK, there was big difference. Suddenly even ordinary movies started running for many weeks, for example
HAHK – 28 weeks
DDLJ – 16 weeks
Rangeela (Not in our cinema) : 12 weeks
Barsaat : 16 weeks
Dillagi : 5 weeks
Karan Arjun (Not in our cinema) : 12 weeks
Main Khiladi Tu Anari – 5 weeks
But this trend started settling down again around late 90’s .. and prime reason was Single screen owners were not investing money to upgrade cinema .. and infrastructure and crowd was not suitable for families and class audience. It was almost draught period between 1997-2009 for small city single screens. Its only post Ghajini and Wanted, arrival of masala cinema once again bring back audiences to SS .. though we shut down our cinema in 2005, last release was Deewane Hue Paagal.
i don’t know about 1990 as i m not 50 year old….who might have seen all that
but HUM was very good movie IMO and i liked it very much…
i saw HUM maybe in 2000-2002(while i was still very-very young)…..
and can can u their was still huge craze for Amitabh bachchan Entry scene and Chuma chuma song…!!
In fact so much was the power of man that GOVINDA and RAJNIKANT were playing sidekicks to him..!
while i have still not seen Pathar ke phool…..
I have seen Pathar ke insaan ,Thanedaar and Yodha…!!
and as for Sanam bewafa i have seen it but not full movie as far as i remember i have not seen the last 20-25 min of Sanam bewafa…!!! 🙂
This is scan of 1988 Mumbai box-office report of Tezaab, QSQT, Shahenshah and few more movies .. While was Tezaab cost around 50 Lakhs for Mumbai distributors, QSQT was 25 Lakhs and Shahenshah was 85 Lakhs .. In return Shahenshah crossed 1 Crore mark there .. Tezaab was expected to comfortably cross the investment as it was just 4 weeks old movie, QSQT fetched 53 Lakhs share.
Correct the image please …
Done
Superstar of the millennium , my foot, he has no grace whatsoever, has worked in movies like rgv ki aag, boom and countless other deplorable movies, has never stepped up in issues of major concern to society, dilip kumar or raj kapoor can be considered as superstar of millennium, if at all, I think akshay kumar and tushar kapoor are better than amitabh bachchan.
Lol! Aap pehle kahan they MahaPurush
amitab bachchan is the super selfish person of the millenium, also a hypocrite to boot
Amitabh Bachchan makes spectacular come-back with Shahenshah (15 March 1988)
https://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/amitabh-bachchan-makes-spectacular-come-back-with-shahenshah/1/329047.html
Release of Amitabh Bachchan film ‘Shahenshah’ delayed (Jan, 1988) https://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/release-of-amitabh-bachchan-film-shahenshah-delayed/1/328860.html
“But the most telling evidence of the controversial actor’s continued popularity has come in the last six months in the revival of several of his old films.At least 200 prints of his earlier films are being screened, many to packed houses, throughout the country.”
Q – Whats the difference between Amitabh’s Shahenshah/Agneepath, SRK’s Ra.One and Salman’s Jai Ho?
A – Not much, over-hype, good openings n eventual losses for sub-distributors.
