'''''Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!''''' is the soundtrack album to the 1994 film [[Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!|of the same name]] directed by [[Sooraj Barjatya]] and produced by [[Rajshri Productions]], starring [[Madhuri Dixit]] and [[Salman Khan]]. The album featured 14 songs composed by [[Raamlaxman]] with lyrics written by [[Dev Kohli]] and Ravinder Rawal. The soundtrack, released under the [[Saregama|His Master's Voice]] label,{{Efn|The label's name being changed to [[Saregama]], which distributes cassettes, CDs and vinyl LPs under this name since 2000s.}} became the second highest selling [[Hindi film music|Bollywood soundtracks]] of all time. It was one of the most popular soundtracks in Bollywood, with all its musical numbers being featured in several Indian wedding ceremonies. The song "[[Didi Tera Devar Deewana]]" became one of the most popular Hindi film songs.<ref name="mint1">{{Cite web |last=Sharma, Sanjukta |date=13 August 2011 |title=Cinema | Mumbai ka king kaun? |url=http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/Ps7MJwBcfNIPZXLfwYkHHJ/Cinema--Mumbai-ka-king-kaun.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202223205/http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/Ps7MJwBcfNIPZXLfwYkHHJ/Cinema--Mumbai-ka-king-kaun.html |archive-date=2 December 2013 |access-date=14 May 2013 |website=Livemint}}</ref>

== Background ==
While developing the screenplay for ''Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!'', Sooraj used musical numbers to avoid treating the situations in a cliched manner.<ref name="didi" /> Raamlaxman, who had previously worked with Rajshri's ''[[Maine Pyar Kiya]]'' (1989) that was also directed by Sooraj and starred Salman, had confirmed his involvement during the film's production on 2 July 1992 with a song composition for the [[Muhurat shot|muhurat ceremony]].<ref name="didi" /> He had about 50 sessions with Sooraj while scripting. He had composed 15 tunes and recorded them within a span of three months. During the script narration, he would play those tunes for the cast members and would even sing them, if not recorded, so that the cast would perform accordingly.<ref name="didi">{{Cite news |last=Bhattacharya, Roshmila |author-link=Roshmila Bhattacharya |date=25 February 2014 |title=Didi Tera Devar Deewana- A song for every season |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news-and-interviews/Didi-Tera-Devar-Deewana-A-song-for-every-season/articleshow/30984692.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180702040636/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news-and-interviews/Didi-Tera-Devar-Deewana-A-song-for-every-season/articleshow/30984692.cms |archive-date=2 July 2018 |access-date=3 March 2014 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref>

When the film was ready, Sooraj received criticisms from industry members at a private screening, describing that the film had too many songs that increased the length.<ref name="didi" /> Despite Sooraj's initial reluctance, 10 days after the film's release, he agreed to edit the songs "Chocolate Lime Juice" and "Mujhse Juda Hokar" and a couple of stanzas from another song. The reception in the central and southern parts of India, particularly in [[Dehradun]], [[Gandhinagar]] and [[Nizamabad, Telangana|Nizamabad]], prompted Sooraj to restore those songs in its entirety, with the new prints.<ref name="didi" />

The song "[[Didi Tera Devar Deewana]]" is said to be inspired by [[Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]]'s song "Saare Nabian".<ref name="TOIfacts">{{Cite web |date=23 October 2015 |title=Hum Aapke Hain Koun @ 20: Lesser Known Facts |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/Hum-Aapke-Hain-Koun-20-Lesser-Known-Facts/photostory/39670378.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150212074605/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/Hum-Aapke-Hain-Koun-20-Lesser-Known-Facts/photostory/39670378.cms |archive-date=12 February 2015 |access-date=23 October 2015 |website=The Times of India}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Kamra, Diksha |date=16 September 2010 |title=Folk inspiration for Munni Badnaam |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Folk-inspiration-for-Munni-Badnaam/articleshow/6564833.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103212315/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-09-16/news-interviews/28250635_1_song-munni-badnaam-munni-badnaam-hui |archive-date=3 November 2012 |access-date=16 September 2010 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> When the film was released in [[Pakistan]], the words "Hai Raam" were omitted from the lyrics due to religious sentiments.<ref>{{cite web |author=Menezes, Saira |date=11 May 1998 |title='He's A Great Artiste, Pity He's From Pakistan' |url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article/Hes-A-Great-Artiste-Pity-Hes-From-Pakistan/205507 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930005936/http://www.outlookindia.com/article/hes-a-great-artiste-pity-hes-from-pakistan/205507 |archive-date=30 September 2015 |access-date=11 August 2014 |work=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]}}</ref><ref name="Mazumdar">{{cite book |author=Ranjani Mazumdar |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xenNBrRKOGoC&pg=PA124 |title=Bombay Cinema: An Archive of the City |publisher=University of Minnesota Press |year=2007 |isbn=978-1452913025 |pages=122–126 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180212084944/https://books.google.com/books?id=xenNBrRKOGoC&pg=PA124 |archive-date=2018-02-12 |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Lata Mangeshkar]], [[S.
