The ‘small town’ made a comeback. Swish rom coms set in foreign parts came out from the same studio just to keep the balance: choose your pick, Abhishek and Rani, or Saif and Preity? Loud comedies ruled the roost: 2005 had all this and more. It also had Black, which brought the conversation around disability into the mainstream. Bunty aur Babli gave the small town a YRF-led designer upgrade. You wonder if real-life Kanpur boy Shaad Ali would recognise his own city in his movie, which is about these two small-town youngsters jo jhola utha ke chale to big towns, heading towards bigger things and living their dreams. Story continues below this ad It is also the film that got back the ‘small town’ in Bollywood’s imagination, replacing the grunge and grime of the real thing with cutesiness and underlined quirk. The colorful outfits that Abhishek and Rani’s Bunty and Babli sport, could only have sprung up in Yashraj’s design department, which were of course adopted speedily by the tailors-and-their-patrons of the self-same UP small …

Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji-starrer Bunty Aur Babli released in theatres 20 years ago and it continues to be one of the most loved films starring the duo. But, way before Abhishek was signed for the film, director Shaad Ali wanted Hrithik Roshan to star as Bunty but the Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai actor wasn’t too keen to present himself in the role of a con man from a small town. In a recent interview, Shaad shared that Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan was very keen for him to do the role. So much so that in the many months of their back and forth, Hrithik suggested the ending of the film to be changed, and Shaad eventually went with Hrithik’s suggestion. In a chat with Bollywood Hungama, Shaad shared that Hrithik “was our first choice.” He added, “We sat for a few months with him. Rakesh ji (Rakesh Roshan) liked the script a lot and he was keen that Hrithik should sign the film. But Hrithik was not very comfortable going into the small town …

It was the early 2000s. Aditya Chopra had seen failure, and not just once; the industry had started to lose faith as well as some within his own family. He was no longer the golden boy, and that silence around him was growing heavier. Hence, he made a decision. Not to retreat, but to move and to try something unexpected. He wanted to make a crime caper, with Abhishek Bachchan in the lead. He handed the reins to a young director, known only for a remake, and gave him a story that set out to change the syntax of commercial storytelling. For Yash Raj Films, this was unfamiliar territory. It had none of the soft-focus charm of their romantic sagas. There was no moral compass pointing north. Not even NRI nostalgia to cushion the fall. At its heart, it was about thieves, beneath the ever-watchful eye of capitalism’s glimmering tower, stealing not for malice, but for meaning. Many might think this is about Dhoom, with its bikes, its pace, its swagger. That’s another story for …
