Mumbai, Nov 11 – Actor Anil Kapoor celebrated 36 years of his unforgettable film Tezaab (1988) by sharing a video of senior citizens dancing to the evergreen hit "Ek Do Teen Char." Kapoor posted the clip on Instagram, reflecting on the film’s enduring legacy.
In the caption, Kapoor wrote, “Celebrating 36 years of Tezaab! The film, the unforgettable music, and the iconic character Mahesh Deshmukh, aka Munna, continue to live on in the hearts of millions.” He praised Tezaab’s creator N. Chandra, music by Laxmikant Pyarelal, lyrics by Javed Akhtar, and Madhuri Dixit’s breakthrough performance.
