"We had no clue that we would succeed or not," Aamir Khan said
Superstar Aamir Khan says his debut film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak is a milestone in Hindi cinema and remains special to him for the kind of love it received from the audience. Also starring Juhi Chawla, the romantic-drama, directed by Mansoor Khan, was a modern day take on the classic tragic love story Romeo and Juliet and became a huge hit upon its release in 1988. "We had no clue that we would succeed or not. Whenever me and Mansoor saw the film, we used to pick up on the flaws and we used to be involved in discussions," Aamir Khan said at an event here on Monday evening.
Once the movie came out in theatres, it just "slipped from our hands", the actor recalled.
"It was a very exciting journey to see the kind of love it received. I like to believe that Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak was a milestone in Hindi Cinema that changed the whole sensibility of Indian cinema. From 1988 onwards, you can see the shift happening. I think Mansoor is probably the first director to bring that. So, it's a very special film for me in every way," Aamir Khan added.
