Hum Aapke Hain Koun Box Office Collection
This ensemble cemented its place in the audience’s hearts and became a cult classic over a period of time. In fact, it was the first Bollywood film to cross the 100 crore mark at the box office with its gross collection. The film earned 71 crore net in India and 117 crore gross.
Hum Aapke Hain Koun was made on a budget of only 6 crore made an unbelievable profit of 1086%! The film collected 128 crore worldwide. However, this epic family drama earned disastrous reviews and initially opened poor on day 1.
On the opening day, the film started poorly at the box office, with only 10 lakh collection. However, after a few days it was Salim Khan’s advice that made the film take an iconic shift towards blockbuster collections. Sooraj Barjatya, in one of his interviews, mentioned only two people liking the film – Aditya Chopra and Salim Khan.
However, Salim Khan suggested editing two songs from the film – Chocolate Lime Juice and Tumse Juda Hokar! Even Aditya Chopra advised chopping some portions of Dhiktana’s second version. The edited version started playing in theaters on the third day and that was when the collections started rising. Rest as they say is history!
