Two souls arrive in a small town, one on vacation, the other to meet a lover. They spend the most magical dream-like days of their lives in that town... with each other.
Cinematography
Entire film looks dipped in blue food coloring and glitter. Gorgeous madness.
Production
Massive sets built in Mumbai—no location shooting, pure artificial fantasy.
Acting
Ranbir's debut: all earnest eyes and pelvic thrusts. Star-making chaos.
Director
Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first Bollywood film released by a Hollywood studio (Sony Pictures). It famously bombed against Om Shanti Om's release the same Diwali.
Loosely adapted from Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'White Nights'—the blue palette was Bhansali's rebellion against Bollywood's traditional wedding-color aesthetics.
