Raj: One of the earliest movies that left a mark on me was Zeenat Aman playing an avenging rape victim inÌý'Insaaf Ka Tarazu - it was moving,Ìýand entertaining. I'm glad that Ravi Chopra is continuing the tradition of films that infuse Indian values with realismÌýtogether with entertainment - I lovedÌý'Baghban' andÌý'Babul'. The Chopras - BR and his brother Yash -haveÌýbeen instrumental in shaping the development of Bollywood.

Pablo: 'Bagbhan' which was written by B R Chopra moved me to tears - amazing performances by Amitabh and a radiant looking Hema Malini.Ìý It was great to see her back on the silver screen. It touched a chord with all generations and in some ways changed the outlook of a lot people in the way they relate to their parents. I'm also a great fan ofÌý'Nikaah' - Salma Agha gave a moving performance and her voice reminded me of Noor Jahan. It will be interesting to see if Ravi Chopra signs her daughter as he mentioned onÌýLove Bollywood a few months ago.
