I saw my first Shashi Kapoor starrer at 15, which was Manmohan Desai’s 1983 romantic-drama Aa Gale Lag Jaa, and it was my mother who introduced me to this film. There were three reasons why she chose this classic for me, one because she is majorly obsessed by the actor, then it was also one of the first films that she saw with my father during their courtship period, and last but not the least, in her own words, she wanted to show me what a “genuinely good film” looks like. And I must admit, I was hooked to it’s narrative of ‘lost and found love’.
