One of the standout films is “1942: A Love Story,” released in 1994, featuring Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala. Their on-screen chemistry captivated audiences. The film portrays a love story set against the backdrop of British colonial struggles, where Anil and Manisha’s characters navigate political unrest and family disapproval while deeply in love. Their journey is filled with ups and downs.
In 1996, “Khamoshi: The Musical,” starring Salman Khan, Manisha Koirala, and Nana Patekar, also made waves as a romantic drama. This film not only showcases love but also the theme of sacrifice.

Shah Rukh and Karisma are old friends until Madhuri enters the picture, sparking jealousy in Karisma, who realizes her love for Shah Rukh and plots to separate him from Madhuri.
