Inspired from Raj Kapoor’s ‘Chori Chori’ (1956), which itself was inspired from Frank Capra’s ‘It happened one night’ (1934), it’s the story of Pooja who runs off from her home to meet the man of his dreams, an upcoming movie star Deepak Kumar, who by the way, is an incompetent nincompoop. It’s been many years, but the freshness of the film remains as is, which’s surprising because the film is a remake of a remake!
A film where a woman runs from her home to marry the man of her dreams and a reporter who secretly follows her for the scoop of his life was both adorable as well as enjoyable. No points for guessing the song! ‘Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin’ was pure bliss, for the ears and the eyes. A cold shoulder wearing Pooja Bhatt, a mischievous Aamir Khan and both fighting for watermelon on a cold night. Out of those 2/3 songs, one was mandatory. By DD’s standards those days, latest meant anything that was released in the nineties. While the songs were mostly nostalgic with Rafi, Asha, Lata, Kishore making the day heavenly, there was a segment, towards the end, that played two or three latest songs. Growing up, we had a stable diet of Rangoli on Doordarshan, every Sunday morning.
