Released in January 1995, this reincarnation-revenge drama by Rakesh Roshan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kajol, Mamta Kulkarni, Rakhee Gulzar, Amrish Puri, and Ranjeet became hit instantaneously right after its release.

What made it such big run is its story, the two heartthrobs of that era – the Khans, “… ye bandhan toh pyaar ka bandhan hain”, and Kajol grooving in “… jati hu main jaldi hain kya”, the flying bells of the temple, Rakhee Gulzar’s hope along with some ruthless plotting of the villain like Amrish Puri.
