Karan Arjun: a film that drips brilliance. Unfathomable as it may seem, it's already been 20 years since the movie that revolutionised the concept of revenge-rebirth, set the box office on fire. Two young superstars (from an era where they were open to hugging it out), a mother who delivered every dialogue like a breathless combination of threat and plea, a heroine with the oddest wardrobe and another one whose sole purpose seemed to be dance numbers; this movie was nothing short of perfect.
Released in the same year as the blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, this film created a niche for itself and had movie-lovers salivating as they did their best to come to terms with this mother-loses-sons-gets-them-back-20-years-later saga.
Like every legendary Bollywood potboiler worth thousands of reruns on television, Karan Arjun too has plenty of songs that people still discuss in hushed tones of reverence. Partly because of the inspired lyrics but mostly because of some truly unique choreography . Presenting some of those glorious steps which will in all probability blow your mind.
- Let us begin with the mother of all GIFs starring THE mother and the two heroes before reincarnation. A moment to appreciate the woman who made "mere Karan Arjun aayenge" a household dialogue. Technically not dance, but hello! That one-after-another-head-count takes practice da.
