3 min readNew DelhiMay 19, 2026 01:50 PM IST In the recent past, the Hindi film industry has faced some criticism for its ever-increasing budgets, and many producers have openly blamed the stars and their extravagant demands on set, which sometimes include 7-8 vanity vans. But until a couple of decades ago, the idea of vanity vans wasn’t all that popular, and there were times when even the lead stars wouldn’t get a van where they could change their outfits and relax while shooting during outdoor schedules. In a recent interview, actor Daisy Shah recalled the time when Dia Mirza, during her debut film, would have to change her costume in a mall, and do her make-up in the middle of a restaurant. In a chat with Bollywood Bubble, Daisy recalled the time when she was a background dancer in Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, which marked the Bollywood debut of R Madhavan and Dia Mirza. Daisy recalled that they went to South Africa for a schedule where even the lead stars did not have …

One of the many Bollywood movies that haven’t aged well, director Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (2001), a remake of his Tamil debut Minnale, has often been criticised for its problematic themes, including the glorification of stalking. Regardless, the ‘romantic’ drama has garnered a cult following over the years, despite underperforming at the box office upon its initial release, largely thanks to the exceptional songs composed by Harris Jayaraj and the performances by lead stars R Madhavan, Dia Mirza and Saif Ali Khan. Despite the criticisms Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein has received in recent years, Madhavan feels that the actions of his character Madhav Shastri (alias Maddy), including stalking, are totally justifiable, considering the time period in which the movie is set, when social media did not exist and mobile phones were not yet widespread. “At a time when phones, messages and social media didn’t exist, how would you contact a girl? What was considered decent? If meeting a girl knowing that she’s there, assuming that it’s a decent way to …

Published by Webster

Sep 01, 2024 10:23 AM IST Dia Mirza recalls the initial reception of RHTDM and says, “The experience of dealing with it as a newcomer was cruel.” Re-releases are becoming a notable trend this season, with films of various genres, from thrillers like Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) to blockbusters such as Kantara (2022), finding their way back into theatres.
