The film which changed the face of Hindi cinema Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! is 26 years old now. There is not much to say its weekly collections below tell the story of this legendary BLOCKBUSTER. The film had started with just 30 odd prints in its first week and eventually more than 600 prints had to be taken out in its theatrical run. Only Sholay (1975) had this many prints taken before while no other film in history had even topped 400 prints.

 

 

The film was released in just one cinema in Mumbai which was Liberty. The film was released in more than one in just three cities. In Delhi it had Sapna and Satyam, in Kolkata it was on Hind and Menoka while Nagpur saw a release on Smriti and Panchsheel. Bangalore was also two cinemas (Santosh and Galaxy) but both were noon shows only.

 

 

There is a complain today from makers they do not get enough screens but that is never an issue as if you get high occupancy in the screens you do get then more will be added and if occupancy stays high then more will be added and the sky is the limit. Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! could have been releases on far more screens but this is the strategy that the distributors took to curb piracy and give to cinemas which were worthy of the product. This led to many exhibitors updating their theatres to show Hum Aapke Hain Koun...!

 

 

The film eventually got close to 7.5 crore footfalls which works out to be around 1000 crore nett today. The film saw its best weekly collections in week 22. The film saw a dip in business week 13 as it was the week before Diwali but after that the film set a record every week as unbelievable numbers of 2 crore nett plus started coming from week 18 onward. the film was the sort of Historic BLOCKBUSTER which may never be seen again.
