Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit's family drama 'Huma Aapke Hai Koun' was released 29 years ago today. The 3 hour 26-minute long film directed by Sooraj Barjatya is a big hit and achieved cult status. The film, and its songs continue to impress the audience even after 3 decades. However, the film did not get a good response after its premiere. While Barjatya was disheartened it was filmmaker Aditya Chopra who was confident that the film will do well if a few changes are implemented. 

In the Netflix docu-series 'The Romantics' that was released earlier this year, Sooraj Barjatya recalled that 'Hum Aapke Hai Koun' did not get a good response at its premiere, "We had a show (for the industry) at Liberty. That show was a disaster.” But Aditya Chopra called him to tell him how much he loved the film. "He told Barjatya, “Sooraj, it’s a damn good film. Don’t worry.” When the director told him about the audience’s reaction to the film, Aditya suggested, “Cut two and a half songs from the film and it will fly!”
