Hum Aapke Hain Kaun...! (Hindi: हम आपके हैं कौन, Urdu: ہم آپ کے ہیں کون, translation: Who Am I to You?) is a 1994 Hindi film directed by Sooraj Barjatya, and produced by Rajshri Productions. It is a remake of Rajshri's earlier movie Nadiya Ke Paar (1982). Hum Aapke Hain Kaun is considered to be one of the most successful hindi films ever. The film is a story of two Indian families and the relationships between them, celebrating Indian culture using modern production values. It is noted for its lavish depictions of North Indian wedding ceremonies. Its soundtrack, including an unusually large number of 14 songs, was scored by Raamlaxman. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun stars Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, two of the top Bollywood stars of the 1990s. The film was very influential and inspired young filmmakers such as Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar. It was dubbed into Telugu as Premalayam. Madhuri Dixit won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress and was also nominated in the same category for her critically acclaimed performance in Anjaam which was released that same year.
Awards
Hum Aapke Hain Kaun won several awards that year, including:
Filmfare Award for Best Film
Filmfare Award for Best Director - Sooraj R. Barjatya
Filmfare Award for Best Actress in a leading role - Madhuri Dixit
Lata Mangeshkar, who sang more than 10 songs in the movie, had long retired from accepting awards, but the public demand for the song Didi Tera Devar Deewana was such that she received the Filmfare Special Award that year.
