The meaning behind the title "Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!"

The sentence "Hum Aapke Hain Koun" is actually a question, but the title puts an exclamation mark (!) instead of a question mark (?) at the end.

Why Sooraj Barjatya did this?

Is his grammar weak or is there a hidden meaning behind this?

It's a rhetorical question. And a rhetorical quesiton may end with a period or an exclamation mark.

Although of course rhetorical questions need not end with a "?" and may have "!" or "." instead - I don't think that is the case here. I don't think this film title is a rhetorical question.

They are literally asking each other: who am I to you?

It's a very interesting point, I've never really thought about it so much. I think it's more to do with aesthetics.

Hum Aapke Hain Kaun? (correct grammar)

vs

Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (incorrect?)

Maybe they just thought it looked better that way? It's hard to tell because looking at both versions now, I'm drawn to the Rajshri version (maybe because I've been seeing it for 26 years) - but also, somehow, the former ^ version does look a bit odd to me as a film title.

We had great fun in the 90s thinking up all kinds of scenarios with the title.

Are you related to Ted Cruz by any chance? https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1341987447878651906

I think it is because seeing how both their siblings got married to each other, they don't have a clear defined relationship. I mean I don't think there's a word for their relation. The brother of the groom and the sister of the bride. That's why they ask each other that. Now that they are in the same family, in a way, but still not related and can form a romantic relationship legitimately. Something like that.

Of all the things to notice in the world .

Its just for effect. And it did turn into blockbuster😆

A winning exclamation😆
