Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak

Synopsis: Feature film. A teen romance combining a Romeo and Juliet theme with a pop musical. Dhanraj Singh spent years in prison for killing the man responsible for his sister’s suicide. His family, and the family of the murdered man, are deadly enemies. Dhanraj’s son, Raj (Aamir Khan), falls deeply in love with Rashmi (Juhi Chawla), the daughter of the rival Rajput patriarch, after seeing her at a wedding in her house. Rashmi does not know that Raj is Dhanraj’s son, and returns his affection after he rescues and saves her from a group of scoundrels. All is eventually revealed, and the two families try to tear the lovers apart. Rashmi is going to be forced into an arranged marriage. The lovers elope and have a brief interval of happiness staying in a deserted fort. Eventually Rashmi’s parents hire a henchman to kill Raj, but he kills Rashmi instead. Raj is devastated and commits suicide with a dagger gifted by Rashmi. The film rapidly gained a cult following, fondly referred to by Indian teenagers as "QSQT."
