Hum Aapke Hain Koun is not much of a film as it is a show, which is big and extravagant and presents a positive world of love and smiles and the wonderful fraternity of the big wide Indian family. So popular did it become that its title today is immediately associated with wide families. Strictly as a film, sadly, the film is not that great, but it's pure entertainment. The film's music is absolutely beautiful and clearly a big part of the film's success because the show is never less than a sum of its parts.
In order to make the entire show and portrayal of the big family valid, a great cast was needed here, and indeed they're all nice and they all work well with each other. But Hum Aapke Hain Koun i-s Madhuri Dixit all the way; she is its face, soul, and heart, and it fully rests on her electrifying, charismatic presence, heartfelt performance, and her impossible, heavenly beauty. No one else exists when she is there, and thankfully she is there most of the time. She is the main reason the film is so iconic today, for sure.
