Who doesn’t love a good wedding? It’s a lovely celebration anywhere in the world, but Hum Aapke Hain Koun depicted the Hindu wedding as one of a kind. The film depicts a traditional engagement and wedding ceremony in its most spectacular form, with catchy songs, elaborate sets, and colorful attire that set the standard for many South Asian weddings today. It’s so captivating that it’s easy to forgive the film’s long runtime and slow pace. That being said, certain aspects, such as the roles women take on, might not have aged well for modern viewers. Still, Hum Aapke Hain Koun remains a Bollywood classic for its undeniable impact.
