+The biggest box-office hit of 1988 relaunched
+its producer/writer (and some sources claim
+also director), and gave new life to glossy teen
+romances shot in advertising styles (cf. Maine
+Pyar Kiya, 1989). It also established the 90s
+star Aamir Khan. The film combines a Romeo
+and Juliet theme with the standard Nasir
+Hussain pop musical. Raj (Khan) and Rashmi
+(Chawla) fall in love, defying a major ancestral
+conflict between their families. They elope and
+create a kind of utopia in an abandoned temple
+on an isolated mountain, living on love, fresh
+air and burnt food. Having to buy provisions in
+a nearby town (the ‘real’ world), they are
+betrayed and die. The film presents the act of
+falling in love as an illusory individuation, but
+perhaps the only form of culturally acceptable
+rebellion available. Its strongly neo-traditional
+thrust is underlined by Khan’s nostalgic
+evocation of classic Nasir Hussain heroes (e.g.
+Shammi Kapoor, Dev Anand), in the teenage
+hero’s dilemma: whether to follow the idolised
+father, incarnated in the film’s hit song Papa
+kehte hain, or to follow a different heroic
+vocation and fall in love. The film rapidly
+became a cult, fondly referred to by teenagers
+as ‘QSQT’. Khan starred again in the follow-up,
+Dil (1990).
