Baabul turns 18

Avi Chopra's Baabul, on the theme of widow remarriage, was meant to be a follow-up blockbuster to the same team's Baghban. Unfortunately, Baabul was not half the hit it was expected to be.

One of the highlights of Baabul was its leading man, Amitabh Bachchan, turning music composer.

Recalls Bachchan, "It was a tune from my past that kept playing in my mind. I just thought I'd use it here because it fitted in so well. I played around with the notes and came up with this song for Baabul. In Ravi Chopra's Baghban, I had sung four numbers. In Baabul, I've recorded two. Earlier, I had recorded a happy number. But the pensive, somber number which I've just recorded is actually composed by me."
