23 Years of Taal: Subhash Ghai does not want to cheat the audience, that’s why he is not making ‘Taal 2’

Subhash Ghai He is 77 years old, but people still eagerly wait for his film. There are some films, whose Part 2 has also been demanded many times. Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna and Anil Kapoor starrer film ‘Taal’ is also one of them. One of the brilliant and successful films of the showman of Bollywood, ‘Taal’ was released 23 years ago on this day. In these 23 years, there has been discussion about the sequel of the film many times, but there is a condition of Subhash for this which seems to have not been fulfilled even today. Let us tell you some stories related to the film.

Subhash Ghai made history by directing the film ‘Taal’ which was released on 13 August 1999. Adorned with the music of AR Rahman, all the songs of this film are very melodious. When the musical film ‘Taal’, made under the banner of Mukta Arts Production House, was released 23 years ago, it was a super hit, making tremendous collections at the box office. Years after its release, its music was echoing in many national-international film festivals. The choreography of this film was done by a famous choreographer like Saroj Khan and Aishwarya Rai was beautifully carved on the screen. Subhash Ghai once also mentioned this on his Instagram post.

I won’t make sequels just to make money
Although no film of Subhash has come for a long time. Be it the music or the filming or the story of ‘Taal’, everything is so beautifully composed that people want to watch ‘Taal 2’. While talking on this a few years ago, Subhash Ghai had made a condition that I will make the second part only when I get a great story from the first part. Subhash Ghai had said that most filmmakers cash in on the success of their previous films. I believe that if the story of a good film is better then there is no harm in making it, but without a good story, making a film just to earn money at the box office is cheating the audience. I always believe in making good films with fresh stories. That’s why I will make ‘Taal 2’ only when I get a better story than ‘Taal’.

Subhash Ghai is not called showman like this
Today, the Hindi film industry is worried about its continuous beating films. In such a situation, a lot should also be learned from the old and veteran filmmakers-directors. Subhash Ghai is considered a director who, before making his films, keeps a groove in his mind about who will be the actor-actress from story, music. Something similar happened when he decided to make ‘Taal’.
