Aishwarya, Abhishek’s Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke is dhaai hours of melodrama. On Wahiyat Wednesday

Inspired by Keanu Reeves-starrer A Walk in the Clouds, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke is a love story between a pained Aishwarya Rai and a confused Abhishek Bachchan. The film turns 21 today, September 29.

Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles had the typical filmy plot of a damsel in distress, this time super rich, and her shining knight, an army captain. Inspired by Keanu Reeves’ A Walk in the Clouds, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke ended up being a stereotypical Bollywood film with too much drama and endless dream sequences. The film was released on September 29, 2000. As it turns 21, we revisit the painfully unoriginal and outlandish romantic drama in this week’s Wahiyat Wednesday.
