Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak Review

Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (From Doom to Doom or From one Disaster to the next) is a Romeo and Juliet type of romantic film.

This was the debut film for stars Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla and they are both amazing in it. Such a trip to see them both so young and innocent looking.

The two families hate each other, we learn in a prologue, because a son of one house gets a girl of the other family pregnant, but refuses to marry her. She commits suicide, which spurs her brother to kill her lover on his wedding day.

Aamir Khan plays Raj, son of the shooter who has been in jail most of his life. Aamir meets Rashi by chance when he visits the ancestral village for a court matter. He knows the back story of why he should stay far away from her, but the two fall in love when they meet again at a vacation spot.

Rashi( (Juhi) has no idea why Raj (Aamir) would not want to be with her at first. When he saves her from some ruffians and they must spend the night alone in the woods, he finally gives in to his love for her.

Their families find out about the lovers' relationship and try to keep the pair apart, leading to a dramatic climax scene with a tragic ending.

The acting in this film is particularly strong, including the supporting actors playing the parents. I can see why this shot Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla into stardom, as they are both wonderful and have great chemistry together. There are some sweet songs, but not the intense dance numbers that they are known for in their later careers.

Tragic sad ending, but a true Bollywood classic to see.
