This Is The Film Which Made Her Go To Theatres Again
Vidya is a pure 80s kid at heart, and during that era, a lot of the cinema halls were not in good condition. So going to the theatres to watch a movie was not always an option. She recalls that she watched ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!’ in its 45th release week! After watching this film she realised how much of an experience watching a film on the big screen truly is.
Since then, she started going to cinema halls regularly. She also clarifies that she watched ‘1942: A Love Story’ before ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!’ and absolutely loved how the film was shot. Vidya exclaimed that Manisha Koirala was looking divine in the film.
