Photos: Yeh Vaada Raha's Sunita and Vikram 33 years later

Yeh Vaada Raha - (The Promise) is arguably one of the most popular Indian films ever made - at least it was very popular in Nigeria. If you didn't watch it, then you weren't born in the 80's. The main protagonists in the classic Hindi film released in 1982 were Sunita and Vikram, pictured left from a scene from the movie. That's the actors together recently on the right. Rishi Kapoor is now 62 years old and Poonam Dhillon is 53 years old. And they are still actively acting. Good to see them again!

No. Try to remember name of that one. The story of that one is about twince and they killed one while the other guy came to fight for revenge. Though he still see the ghost of his twin and even the twin entered him to get double power at d end of the movie. I grew up in the north. That's d only movie(Indian ) we match most time

SMURF said...

I like to see the other gal, that played sunita after the surgery!! She was indeed beautiful then and fashion forward!

Patty said...

I remember this movie so vividly. I watched it repeatedly. In the days when Indian movies use to bring tears to ones eyes. The both still look lovely.

I was a kid then, fell in love with them, wished I could fine love so strong like theirs when I grow up but never did. All I had was promises and fail, and heart breaks until I got old enough to get married. Now I ve children but never experienced this kind of love. It is best love movie ever made, greater than Titanic.

Madam it's not a lie. My uncle still kept his cassette players as early as 2001. cassettes were still common in the early 2000's even cars then had cassette players. So I don't understand this ignorant accusation of yours.
