4 films in this canon are filed under Family, running from 1980 to 2016. The highest-ranked is Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994) at #89 — Fourteen songs, one wedding, one death, and the film that pulled the Indian family back into cinemas en masse.
The genre is spread across the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, with Sooraj Barjatya, Karan Johar, Shakun Batra, Hrishikesh Mukherjee doing the heaviest lifting. Hindi cinema rarely respects a single genre for a whole runtime, so most of these titles are cross-filed — follow the tags on any film page to find its neighbours.
