And last but not the least the boy saying " Palat" is every Indian teenager boy's gimmick which he has tried many times in real life. The film caters to the dream fantasy of every boy which is to meet a pretty girl while travelling abroad and having a nice time.Ħ. The boy telling the girl's father that he loves his daughter maybe more than him.ĥ. The Indian festival Karva Chowth is shown nicely to cater to family audiences. The boy's father is very understanding and actually helps his son to get the girl. The boy though mischievous is honourable and refuses to elope with the girlĪnd tells this to the girl's mother.
The mother though traditional is also understanding of her daughter's predicament and goes way out to help her leave home. There was the traditional strict Indian father wanting the best for his daughter. Indian middle class sensibilities were kept intact. Foreign locations were all attractively shown.Ĥ. They have all been exquisitely presented.ģ. It has an outstanding collection of songs which all became chartbusters. It is a romantic story of a handsome boy and a beautiful girl which has been shot in attractive locations abroad and which has a happy ending.Ģ. I am putting down points numerically in a random order as thoughts come to me.ġ. It has affected an entire generation of young and old who have found the characters realistic and relatable. This is not a normal review but an appraisal and an analysis as to why people have loved this film so much so as to make it one of the longest running films of all times.
