    No matter how you remember her as Piku, Leela, Veronica, Mastani or Padmavati, Deepika has been lighting up the 70mm screen since her Dreamy Girl days, when she first waved at Shah Rukh Khan amid a swooning crowd in 2007.

  • The film, in essence, was a homage to the movies of the 1960s and 1970s, often fondly recalled as the golden days of Indian cinema.

    Farah Khan recreated the old-world nostalgia by generously using iconic scenes, elaborate sets, colorful costumes, overdramatic mannerisms, and soulful music.

    She presented to millennials a dazzling world, they had often heard about but had never seen.

    The song was Farah Khan's way to pay tribute to "John Jani Janardhan," a popular song from the 1981 film Naseeb, that was the first to feature several celebrities.
