there was a time when i went to watch YAARANA...OH BOY I never saw the craze any actress had. and when the song came 'mera piya ghar aaya' what men, what women and what kids...at that theatre everyone was dancing to that song as if it was a live performance. however yaarana had bombed at the BO, but the songs of madhuri became a rage.
and yesterday i went to watch YJHD the same theatre I watched yaarana years back. I was just waiting for madhuri's number even though i didn't like the song personally but watching madhuri after so many years was something that would bring many memories back. to all the excitement her ghagra number arrived. much to my surprise this time, the reaction of the whole theatre was pretty much thanda, even though the house was full. no whistle, no taali, no hooting, nothing wait what a minute. this is MADHURI...guys wake up. i turned my head almost 19-20 times as to see the faces, they were all blank, as if madhuri is unknown to them.
the message is loud and clear. the current generation has passed over madhuri's legacy. which clearly defines the title of the film. YEH JAWANI HAI DEEWANI...MEANS THE TIME YOU SHOW YOUR JAWAANI THE PUBLIC WILL BE DEEWANI and when your are no longer a JAWAANI, then dont expect us to be deewani. how true?
