It’s celebration time for one of the most loved films of Bollywood industry. The film which not only gave us friendship goals, but also taught many life lessons, clocks eight years today.
Yes, it is none other than the most precious film, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD). The film is all about three friends Arjun (Hrithik Roshan), Kabir (Abhay Deol) and Imran (Farhan Akhtar) who go on a bachelor trip to Spain after Kabir gets engaged to Natasha (Kalki Koechlin), where they meet Laila (Katrina Kaif). During their trip, each friend picks a risky sport for the group to participate in.
As the film completes its eight years in the film industry, the filmmakers shared a short clip of the film’s poster with the background song as Dil Dhadakne Do. They captioned the video as, ‘Here’s celebrating a film that taught us how to truly live! Here’s to 8 Years of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara!’
Actor Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol also reminisced the memories and took to their Instagram handle sharing one of the still pictures from the film. Recalling his most prized possession, Bagwati, Farhan writes, ‘8 years since Bagwati moved on… but I guess the life has to the move ons the somehow… Love to all amigos and amigas … you who made the film possible and you who made the film a success in more ways than just box office can quantify. Lots of love and a big hug. @zoieakhtar @ritesh_sid @hrithikroshan@katrinakaif @abhaydeol @kalkikanmani@reemakagti1 @shankarehsaanloy #JavedAkhtar’.
While Abhay Deol writes, ‘It’s been 8 years since I made this film. It’s the one movie that had people come up to me and say, “I saw this and I quit my job” or, “I saw this and made peace with an old friend,” to “I took a break from work” and even, “I got a divorce!” It inspired people to follow their dreams, to take action, to accept who and where they are. I couldn’t ask for more! It was an honor and a privilege to work with you @zoieakhtar.
#zindaginamilegidobara’.
Directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, under the banner of Excel entertainment, ZNMD includes some beautiful and brilliant lines which are still in the hearts of their fans, like, ‘Dilon Mein Tum Apni Betaabiyan Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum, Nazar Mein Khwaabon Ki Bijliyan Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum, Hawa Ke Jhokon Ke Jaise Azaad Rehno Seekho, Tum Ek Dariya Ke Jaise Lehron Mein Behna Seekho, Har Ek Lamhe Se Tum Milo Khole Apni Baahein, Har Ek Pal Ek Naya Samaa Dekhe Yeh Nigaahein, Jo Apni Aankhon Mein Hayraniya Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum, Dilon Mein Tum Apni Betaabiyan Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum’.
Cheers to eight years!
