Boxoffy Read
Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Aapke Hain Koun holds a box office record — ₹68 Cr in 1994 — that remained the highest-grossing Hindi film for years, achieved through a film that has no villain, no conflict and almost no plot. The film is an extended celebration of an upper-middle-class Hindu joint family that audiences attended repeatedly, like a religious ritual, finding comfort in its abundance and formality. It is simultaneously the most unusual Indian blockbuster and the most logical one.
