Pooja and Rajesh's marriage brings much joy to the entire family and, eventually, they are expecting their first child.

Pooja's parents are unable to attend her baby shower, so they send Nisha instead, who is present at the birth.

Pooja's parents finally arrive to celebrate their grandson's birth, and spend time with the entire family.

Shortly afterward, Pooja accidentally slips, falling down the stairs, and eventually dies from a head injury.

Director/writer Sooraj Barjatya devoted one year and nine months to write the screenplay of Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!.

He spent the first five months trying to write another Maine Pyar Kiya, but then started over after his father Rajkumar Barjatya suggested that he rework one of the family company Rajshri Productions earlier offerings.

Barjayta's grandfather, company founder Tarachand Barjatya, loved the song "Dhiktana" so much that the film was nearly given that title.

[12] Barjatya later told India Abroad, "My attempt in this movie has been to re-expose the cinema-going public to the quintessential family life... not to make people feel that they have come to see a movie, but make them feel as if they have come to visit a big joint family that is preparing for a wedding".

[14] Tripat Narayanan of New Straits Times criticised the plot as "paper-thin" and the climax scenes as clichéd, but said Barajiya handled them so well that Shahane's "smiling bride face is immortalised as an epitome of goodness."

He discussed the songs of the films in particular, and the "manifestation of romance under the acceptance and blessings of the family, in specific, the elder sister-in-law".

[53] Tejaswini Ganti has called the film a "paean to filial duty" for how the children are willing to sacrifice their love for the good of their families.

[26] Rediff.com noted that "Though the film was initially dismissed as a wedding video, its success indicated that post-liberalisation, Indian audiences still clung to the comfort of the familiar.

"[55] Jigna Desai said that the film's popularity was due to interactions of the families around the traditional folk wedding practices.
