Although Raj Sippy's Saugandh (1991) was his first film to hit cinemas, veteran filmmaker Pramod Chakravarthy (Love in Tokyo) signed him before anybody else for an old wine- in-old bottle-brand of romantic melodrama -- Deedar, opposite a raw, pre-makeover Karisma Kapoor.
The awkward-sounding couple shared clumsy on-screen chemistry against the backdrop of humdrum Anand-Milind compositions. The outcome was most unmemorable.
Deedar's only real merit is it introduced the future sensation in the world of Hindi films. And for that alone, we shall remain eternally grateful.
