1999’s box office titan, Kachche Dhaage, celebrates 27 years of mayhem and mastery. With Ajay Devgn leading the charge alongside Saif Ali Khan, Manisha Koirala, and Namrata Shirodkar, Milan Luthria’s film delivered non-stop thrills, crossing 200 crores in India alone.
Insider tales reveal a grueling production. Ajay’s commitments delayed start by half a year until Luthria’s ultimatum sealed the deal. The crew ventured into Kuldhara, Rajasthan’s forsaken ‘ghost village,’ where eerie silence fueled superstitions on set.
Ajay’s stunt heroics peaked in the train coach separation. Shackled and hurtling forward, a split-second error could have been fatal—yet he nailed it raw. Saif injected levity, goofing around on the locomotive, prompting laughter and lectures alike.
These behind-the-scenes gambles crafted a film that transcends time, embodying the fearless spirit of 90s Bollywood where stars lived their roles, dangers and all.
