The before-and-after pics must be priceless! Can't believe it's been 20 years. RDB's music is still on my playlist. "Khalbali" and "Luka Chuppi" ❤️. A film that truly captured the youth's spirit.

A masterpiece. But respectfully, I feel the themes of the film are even more relevant today. The anger against corruption and system failure... we see it everywhere now. The reunion is sweet, but the message is urgent.

Watched this in college with friends. It was more than a movie; it was an event. So nostalgic to see the cast. Miss seeing R. Madhavan in the picture though!

Iconic. Simply iconic. From the story to the performances to the AR Rahman soundtrack - everything was top class. This is the kind of cinema we need more of, not just remakes and sequels. Kudos to the whole team!

A film that made us proud to be Indian and also question what we could do for our country. The scene where they take over the radio station... chills! Time for a rewatch this weekend. 🎂
