The Original Family Saga

Hum Aapke Hain Kaun is considered to be one of the most successful Bollywood films ever produced. It brought the Indian family audience into theatres with full force and redefined the film business in India. This Nadiya Ke Paar remake was earlier scheduled to be released only in selected theatres, but gradually the popularity of the movie rose so much that the theatres across the country upgraded themselves to get the available prints of the movie. The result was a gross collection of over Rs. 120 Cr and an adjusted gross of over Rs. 300 Cr, truly deserving the All Time Blockbuster tag. The movie was produced by Rajshri Productions in 1994 on a budget of 5 Cr and was the longest movie of the 90s, lasting for 3.5 hours. The unparalleled direction by Sooraj R. Barjatya earned him the Filmfare award for Best Director. To know more about your favourite movies, ask for ETC from your DTH local cable operator!
