Viral: Anand Mahindra Adores Elderly Couple’s Recreation of ‘Rim Jhim Ghire Sawan’ Amid Mumbai Rains
Monsoon is here, and showers are drenching Mumbai. Nothing can define romance quite like the rains, which is why many prominent Bollywood songs revolve around rain and umbrellas. One of the Bollywood songs that encapsulates romance and the monsoon perfectly is RD Burman’s famous song ‘Rimjhim Gire Saawan’ from the 1979 film “Manzil”, featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee. Both actors were filmed against the backdrop of beautiful rainy Mumbai.
Regardless of how much we identify with the GenZ era, we must admit that love in those days, with shyness in the eyes, was purer than it is today. While most of the GenZ haven’t experienced that era, we can offer you a glimpse of those days.
Recently, a video of an elderly couple walking on the streets of Mumbai went viral on the internet like wildfire. On a beautiful rainy day in Maximum City, the couple recreated the song ‘Rimjhim Gire Saawan’ with the same grace as Amitabh and Moushumi.
