Wow..a classic, a must see

I have been seeing this movie again and again since childhood when i owned it on a VHS (and stooped watching it when my VCR broke)..anyway the film is hilarious in the beginning and an excellent die-hard romance story in the end with a not so obvious happy ending. The movie is great to watch, amazing for college kids form any era, the film is fantastic, the songs are amazing, the whole vibe is so young and hip. It has all the cool hip college stuff about parties and bunking classes in the beginning and in the end it turns into something like a romantic coming of age adventure, where the hero (amir khan) and heroine (madhuri) live their life somehwere else (well complemented by a song). There is even a rape scene inbetween after which their love begins, much better then beating up thugs, an excellent change for the Indian cinema at that time. We can see that the way the move goes was probably inspired by some American movies (perpahps grease) however the movies tempo was also taken up in johar and yash movies i.e. a comic beginning, a sad middle and a happy end. Very nicely done, spectacular, the characters are what they should. Amir and Madhuri look excellent for the role, both were young (they still are) at the time and did their parts with true honesty. Same goes for others and each character changed from a comic to aserious one in the later HALF of the movie. Brilliant, just brilliant
