Hum Aapke Hain Koun released 23 years ago on this very date. It's one of those films that you HAVE to watch when it comes on TV!

Here are a few memorable moments that make this romance, family drama and 3 hour shaadi extravaganza a Bollywood classic!

1. Hum Aapke Hai Koun is not just an epic love story of Nisha and Prem. It's also an educational guide to all the rasam and rivaaj involved in the Great Indian Wedding!
