Though it wasn't the debut of either Aamir Khan or Juhi Chawla, Mansoor Khan's directorial debut, launched their careers in a big way.
In this Thakur-themed adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Aamir and Juhi play Raj and Rashmi -- a pair of star-crossed lovers who challenge their fate and families to live their happily-ever-after.
Even if the plot offered nothing new, the lilting freshness of their romance, chemistry and cuteness-perfect pairing of Aamir and Juhi, along with a effective supporting cast, Mansoor Khan's flair for details and Anand-Milind's splendid score (Akele hain, Ghazab ka hai din, Papa kehte hain, Aye mere humsafar), contributed significantly in making Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak worthy of a spot in Bollywood's hall of fame.
To date, nothing compares to the lovely rawness of its young leads as opposed to the polished, prepared lot of present-day.
