Kunal Kemmu’s hilarious old clip about ‘ZNMD’, ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ goes viral: ‘Hum Mira road ke hai, Melbourne jaake inki coming-of-age..’ |

Films like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ have their own cult status and over the years, it’s one of the most loved movies of Hindi cinema. Infact, Farhan Akhtar‘s ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ changed the wave in Hindi cinema as before that one hadn’t seen cinema of this genre extensively. Despite the fact that now both these are called ‘iconic’ and continue to be remembered over the years, an old interview of Kunal Kemmu has now gone viral where he said he couldn’t relate to these films. Netizens also clearly seem to agree to him. Interestingly, Kunal directed ‘Madgaon Express’ for Farhan’s production house and this is how he pitched his film to them. Kunal can be heard saying hilariously in this interview, “Dil Chahta Hai aur ZNMD aayi, achhi lagi, lekin relate nahi kar paaye. Hum log kabhi Barcelona nahi gaye, aur yeh ameer bacche Melbourne jaa rahe hain, vahaan inki coming-of-age ho rahi hai! Hum kaise karenge, hum toh Mira Road ke hain. They get realisations after scuba diving and La Tomatina festival… hamari mummy ko dikhaoge toh pagal ho jaayengi ki itne tamatar kyun waste kar diye! Inke paas toh sab kuchh hai, yeh ghoom rahe hain, sab dukhi hain… zyaada aspiration ho gaya. I ended up making Madgaon Express with the same producers of DCH and ZNMD, and this is what my pitch to them was, ki mere jaise logon ka kya?”
