Editor – Director: David Dhawan.
The king of comedy proves he is in fine fettle with the chuckle-a minute Yeh Hai Jalwa. With deft touches he brings out the comedy inherent in the story - an illegitimate son desperately seeking his father’s acceptance, while the father is equally desperate to keep him out of his well settled life. A situational comedy, the film is a clean family entertainer with great performances by all the lead actors.The last release from the MKD banner, ‘Deewana Mastana’ (1997) was also directed by David Dhavan. Starring Anil Kapoor, Govinda and Juhi Chawla, the film was a roaring success.
