Taal, the beloved romantic drama directed by Subhash Ghai, is set to enchant audiences once again as it re-releases in theatres on September 27. This cinematic gem features a stellar cast, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, and Akshay Khanna, and is known for its captivating music score by AR Rahman.

Key Highlights:

Subhash Ghai’s Remarks: At a recent event hosted by Radio Nasha, Ghai reflected on the film's enduring legacy, sharing that Rahman received a “minimum” payment for his exceptional music. In a light-hearted moment, Rahman suggested that they should mention this during the film's 25th anniversary celebration.

Anil Kapoor’s Anecdote: Anil Kapoor, who also attended the event, recounted a humorous moment from the film's shooting process. He shared how Ghai would often deliver crucial dialogues just before filming, leaving him in a bit of a lurch. "The climax monologue was scheduled to be shot the next day. I told him, 'I'm not coming tomorrow.' He knows me so well that he said, 'Theek hai. Mat aa' (Don't come)," Kapoor shared, adding that his anxiety about potentially losing the scene drove him to the set despite his initial reluctance.

Theatrical Release:

Taal will be screening in 136 theatres across India, running alongside new releases like Devara: Part 1 and Binny and Family, as well as other notable films such as Stree 2 and Yudhra.

Accolades and Achievements:

Taal was a monumental success at the Filmfare Awards 2002, securing several accolades:

Best Supporting Actor for Anil Kapoor

Best Music Director for AR Rahman

Best Lyricist for Anand Bakshi

Best Female Playback Singer for Alka Yagnik

Both Anil Kapoor and AR Rahman also garnered awards at the IFFA 2000, alongside wins at the Zee and Screen Awards that year.

About the Film:

Originally released in August 1999, Taal tells the poignant love story of Mansi (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), a talented singer and dancer from a small town, and Manav (Akshaye Khanna), the affluent son of an industrialist. The film intricately explores the cultural disparities affecting their romance and the misunderstandings that ensue. Ghai’s direction, combined with Rahman’s mesmerizing soundtrack, solidified Taal as a cherished classic in Indian cinema. Anil Kapoor's portrayal of music producer Vikrant Kapoor is particularly memorable, adding depth and charm to the film.

Conclusion:

With its re-release, Taal offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane for long-time fans and a chance for new audiences to experience this iconic film. The unique insights from its creators provide a richer understanding of the passion behind this cinematic masterpiece.
