Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994)
A tale of matrimony, loss, and undying love, centering on orphaned brothers Rajesh (Monish Bahl) and Prem (Salman Kahn), who become enamored with family friend Pooja (Renuka Shahane) and her spunky sister Nisha (Madhuri Dixit). What starts with an arranged marriage between families, and changes to a charming double romance, takes a turn for the tragic when Pooja dies unexpectedly, leaving behind an infant and questions about Nisha’s duty to her family.
This blockbuster of blockbusters took the Indian movie-going public by storm, breaking box-office records and bursting at the seams with drama, romance, and 14 different musical numbers. Today, it’s credited with pushing Bollywood toward more romantic stories after the action-heavy 80s, and its iconic songs are still wedding staples.
