Ramesh Taurani, Producer and Head of Tips, shared, "'Taal' was more than just a film; it was a cinematic journey that explored the depths of human emotion. As we celebrate its 25th anniversary, we're reminded of the brilliance of Subhash Ghai's direction and the exceptional performances that brought this story to life. Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna, and Anil Kapoor delivered unforgettable portrayals that continue to inspire filmmakers and captivate audiences. This screening is an opportunity to rediscover the nuances of a film that pushed the boundaries of Indian cinema and remains a timeless classic."
Kumar Taurani added, "Twenty-five years ago, we acquired the audio rights of the film 'Taal,' not knowing that it would become such a blockbuster hit of an album. Even after 25 years, the music of 'Taal' stays fresh and remains one of the most popular soundtracks ever. âTaal' was a musical masterpiece created by the brilliant trio of Subhash Ghai, A. R. Rahman, and Anand Bakshi."
