This classic dance film, directed by Babbar Subhash (Kasem Paida Karne Wale Ki, Dance Dance, Love Love Love), can best be described as a series of scenes held together by some of the best disco music to have come out of India, courtesy the one and only Bappi Lahiri. Co-starring Rajesh Khanna, Om Puri, Karan Razdan, Kim, and Kalpana Iyer, this movie was a sensation when it came out. Join us on a surprising journey we didn’t expect to take.
