The film is a remake of Muthyala Subbaiah's 1996 Telugu-language film Pavitra Bandham, and it marks the producer D. Ramanaidu's return to Hindi cinema after a long hiatus; he had last produced Taqdeerwala in 1995.[4][5][6] In an interview with Rediff.com, Ramanaidu said that his involvement in the project was a way to prove his mettle as a producer in the Hindi film industry: "As far as Telugu films are concerned, I have achieved whatever I wanted to. I want to hit the jackpot in Bollywood with this film."[4] Anil Kapoor was cast as the antagonist Vijay and Anupam Kher as his father, Vishwanath.[2][4] According to Kapoor, the role had changed his screen image, and he later stated that he took the part to avoid typecasting.[4][7] Meanwhile, Kajol was cast as the film's protagonist Megha, her first such role.[8][9] Interviewed by The Telegraph, she stated that her role "seemed like a great character on paper, but [it] didn't translate well on screen".[10]

Satish Kaushik was suggested by Kapoor, who has collaborated with him in several films, including Mr. India (1987),[11] Joshilaay (1989)[12] and Ram Lakhan (1989),[13] to direct this film.[4] Kaushik compared it with his previous directorial ventures—Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1993) and Prem (1995)—and found Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain "very different", explaining that it "emphasised feelings and that the accent here was on treatment"; for instance, the former was dominant with costume and the latter was based on reincarnation.[4] He said, "I do not resort to any gimmicks in [Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain]. I'm not playing with camera angles or juggling shots. You will not find 50 dances here... My film has been set against a contemporary backdrop."[4] Jainendra Jain and Bhupati Raja wrote the dialogue and story, respectively.[3]

Principal photography started in Hyderabad and handed by Kabir Lal.[14][2][4] Saroj Khan and Chinni Prakash were the choreographers, while Raja was the action director.[2] Its production design was completed by Sharmishta Roy.[15] Some songs were recorded at the Hotel de Rougemont in Switzerland.[16] After filming finished around December 1998, it was edited by E.M. Madhava, Chaitanya Tanna and Marthand K. Venkatesh.[2][4]

Critical reception

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain addressed the issue of prenuptial agreement.[25] It received mixed-to-positive reviews, with critics praising its story, melodramatic climax and the performances, mostly that from Kajol.[20][26] Sharmila Taliculam, writing for Rediff.com, described the film as a "usual run-of-the-mill story", noting its "sprinkling of drama, comedy, fight [and] romance".[26] She opined that Kajol "manages her role well", with "her eyes [giving] good effect in many scenes", and thought her chemistry with Kapoor managed to "save the film from going downhill in a rush".[26] Taliculam argued that Kapoor's portrayal, which she found "par excellence", would remind the audiences of his roles in Lamhe (1991), Mr. Bechara (1996) and Judaai (1997).[26] A critic from Bollywood Hungama said, "Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain is a good enough film if you go for that kind of family tear-jerker."[27] K. N. Vijiyan of the New Straits Times shared similar thoughts, saying, "[It] will be a treat for those who love Anil Kapoor and Kajol, and for those who want something different."[28] In a column for the same publication, he added that the story is "quite refreshing".[29] Mukhtar Anjoom from Deccan Herald wrote that "Kajol excels. She combines grace and intensity with uncommon talent. Suave Anil is as sleek and convincing as ever. Anu Malik’s music is melodious. The ‘comedy’ of Satish Kaushik, Johnny Lever and Rakesh Bedi is unbearable — the clatter sounds like a herd of asses braying at a reunion party. Except for this, the film is clean and enjoyable."[30]

Conversely, Mukhtar Anjoom of The Times of India saw that the comedic scene make the film "clean and enjoyable".[31] Deepa Gahlot thought that the film's story was inspired by Indian mythologies and folk tales.[32] In Eena Meena Deeka: The Story of Hindi Film Comedy, Sanjit Narwekar said that Kaushik had proved himself as "a leading director" with the film's success.[33]
