Since the beginning of time, there has been an endless stream of Bollywood productions dedicated to love and soulmates. One such film coming from the treasure trove of Bollywood is ‘Manzil’, shot in 1979. Further, it features Rimjhim Gire Sawan – a song by the maestro RD Burman, which encapsulates the emotions of dancing in the rain.
And now an elderly couple in Mumbai has recreated this famed song dressed like the film characters of Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee, scene-by-scene and we can’t stop saying ‘awwwww’.
A beautiful cinematographic masterpiece
This is justifiably going viral. An elderly couple re-enact the popular song ‘Rimjhim gire sawan’ at the very same locations in Mumbai as in the original film. I applaud them. They’re telling us that if you unleash your imagination, you can make life as beautiful as you want it… pic.twitter.com/wO7iJ3da3m
