Hum Aapke Hain Kaun...! (Hindi: हम आपके हैं कौन, 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.
Plot
The story was adapted from the film Nadiya Ke Paar (1982) also made by Rajshri Productions. It tells the story of two lovers, Prem (Salman Khan) and Nisha (Madhuri Dixit) who are very fun loving, cheerful and full of mischief. Prem's elder brother, Rajesh (Mohnish Behl), is to be married to Nisha's elder sister, Pooja (Renuka Shahane). Prem's uncle (Alok Nath) and Nisha's parents (Anupam Kher and Reema Lagoo) were college friends and when they meet, they arrange Rajesh and Pooja's marriage. During the marriage a lot of fun and mischief happens until it is time for Pooja to leave to her new home.
Prem gets along well with his sister-in-law, and soon they discover that Pooja is pregnant. Pooja's parents are unable to come to the ceremony marking the arrival of the baby so they send Nisha instead. While she is there, she and Prem fall in love with each other. Later, Nisha's parents come over to Pooja's house for a few days and when they have to go, everybody persuades them to stay for another day. When it is time for them to leave, everybody is sad, especially Prem as he has become very close to Nisha.
Then one day Pooja gets invited to stay at her parents' house, and Prem takes her there. Once they reach the house, Pooja finds out that Prem and Nisha love each other. She promises to get them married and gives Nisha the family necklace. Then the phone rings and Pooja goes to answer it. She is very happy and is hopping down the stairs when her foot accidentally slips and she dies from a head injury after falling off the stairs. Everybody is sad about the accident. Nisha takes good care of Pooja's child and everybody thinks that she will be a great mother to the baby and so Prem's father and Nisha's parents talks about a marriage between Rajesh and Nisha. Nisha overhears her parents talking about her being the daughter-in-law of the house that her sister was from, and she mistakenly thinks that she is getting married to Prem. Later at a preparation ceremony, she finds out that she is marrying Rajesh.
Prem and Nisha agree to sacrifice their love for Rajesh and the baby. At the wedding, Nisha gives Tuffy (Prem's dog) the necklace that her sister had given her together with a letter, to pass it to Prem. Instead, Tuffy gives the necklace and letter to Rajesh and he realises that Prem loves Nisha. In the end, he confronts them and Nisha and Prem marry each other.
