Aamir Khan, acknowledging the enduring legacy of his debut movie, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, reflects on the significant mark it left on Hindi cinema. Expressing his belief that the 1988 film was a turning point, Aamir credits it with shaping the future of Indian cinema.
The romantic drama, directed by Mansoor Khan, is widely recognised as a milestone that redefined cinematic sensibilities. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’s success came as a surprise to the team, and its heartwarming reception by the audience made it a cherished experience for Aamir.
The film’s iconic soundtrack, featuring songs like “Ae Mere Humsafar” and “Papa Kehte Hain,” holds a special place in Aamir’s heart. He recognises the pivotal role it played in his career and recalls the camaraderie among the cast and crew, including Juhi Chawla, Udit Narayan, and Anand-Milind.
Aamir’s sentiments were echoed by Udit Narayan, the original singer of “Papa Kehte Hain,” who was also present at the event. Narayan reminisced about the song’s enduring impact and the pressure he felt while recording it.
Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’s legacy extends beyond its cinematic merits. It continues to inspire filmmakers, evident in the recent remake of “Papa Kehte Hain” for the upcoming movie, Srikanth, based on the life of visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bholla.
