Lonavla in winter is no joke, that water must have been freezing! Shows their dedication. This movie defined family values for our generation. "Do Anjaane Ajnabi" still gives me feels!

While I appreciate the nostalgia, sometimes I feel we romanticize actors' hardships too much. It's their job, and they are compensated well for it. Many people work in tougher conditions daily for far less.

Sooraj Barjatya films have a different charm altogether. The effort shows in every frame. Makes you appreciate the film even more. Hope we get such clean, heartfelt cinema again.
