Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak

Just want to say that this movie was a major breakthrough in the 1980's. When I watched this for the first time, I was 9 years of age and I was living in Pakistan at that time. Very soon after it was released in Pakistan, it became a major hype throughout the neighbourhood. Every kid on the block was singing songs from this movie and it soon channeled itself into my heart as well and make its place there. I would recommend this movie to everybody, regardless of taste because it accomodates all possible tastes. This movie has a lot of aesthetic value for me and its definitely a watcher. Don't miss this one if you haven't already seen it.

I have to say, this is one the best movies that I've ever seen with Aamir Khan. He was so young (and so cute!) in this movie but made a big impression. And I also love Juhi Chawla's role in the movie. She's also so sweet in her roles. But I guess it comes natural to her. I adore the songs in this movie. Especially "Papa Kehte Hain" in the beginning at the College dance. Aamir was a great performer! And the chaperones who danced in the film were great too! If anyone who reads this has not seen this movie and happens to love Hindi movies like me, you have got to watch it! You'll start dancing and singing to the songs and have a blast! Hope you love it as much as me! Bye!

Indian cinema has offered so many 'young love stories' like 'Bobby', 'Dil', 'Tezaab', 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye' etc. However, 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' remains my favorite of the lot. It is a somewhat dramatized but humble adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. There have been numerous adaptations but what really makes this film work are the two leads and the music.

I like how the character's were written. Raj isn't the typical macho hero or a romantic, he's just an ordinary young who joined his father's fabric business. Similarly, Laxmi isn't some damsel in distress or a clichéd spoilt brat rebelling against her parents. She's a strong minded young lady who's ready to sacrifice all for her love.

Aamir Khan makes his entry to Indian cinema as leading man. He does nothing short of a brilliant job as the naive young Raj. The fact that he's a newcomer only adds to the character's childlike personality. Juhi Chawla already shows that she's here to stay. Not only is she naturally vivacious but she, in a wonderfully subtle way, displays Laxmi's innocence, childlikeness and determination. It's no surprise that since then Aamir and Juhi have been popular for their on screen chemistry. The supporting cast is adequate where Alok Nath stands out.

Mansoor Khan's direction also deserves mention as he does not waste much time on unnecessary subplots. He stays mainly focused on the story of the two lovers. Only the beginning, where the conflict between the two families begins, appears a little too dramatic and clichéd. But once Raj is introduced, the film takes off towards a better direction. The background score is irritating most of the time.

This was the time when great soundtracks were making a comeback in the commercial Hindi cinema considering that the 80s were infamous for poorest quality in cinema. The songs are soulful, melodious and memorable. After all, who doesn't know 'Papa Kehte Hain', 'Gazab Ka Hai Din' and 'Ae Mere Humsafar'? This is the album that made singer Udit Narayan an overnight star.

To me, 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' is one of the most memorable tragic love stories on the Hindi cinema screen. What makes this film unique is the incredible chemistry between the two leads and their characterization. Simply great!

This movie is the best I have so far seen from the Bollywood (I have seen more than 800 films). I just cannot describe the movie. It is just perfect. Each and every scene, each and every dialog looked perfect. The music, one of the most memorable and the story, just excellent. I have watched the movie more than ten times and so far I have not found even a single mistake or some thing like that which could be said improper. Even the last action scene was so perfect that I have very rarely seen such proper directed scenes. If you have not watched the movie, just watch it now. But remember one thing. There should be complete pin drop silence in the room and no body should talk until the end of the movie.

This is a nice movie from Mansoor Khan.The movie is fresh with new actors and play back singers.The romance was really romantic.The chemistry was nice.The movie tells about 2 rivals(Don't know there namee).Their children's Rashmi and Raj are in love.One day without telling their parents they go to a place.They are the only ones there.They are on a cliff.One day they are found by their parents.The movie is very nice.Aamir perfromed EXCELLENTLY.Juhi too performed EXCELLENTLY.Alok,Dalip,Goga,Asha and Reema supported well.There is a small Aamirs nephew Imran who appears in"Jaane tu Jaane naa"(His debut movie)appears as a child artist.The cinematography is wonderful.The opening scence was quite good.The first half is nice and so is the second half.The music is very good and are sung beautifully by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik.Overall Good movie with Good songs Rating-8/10
