Today marks a significant milestone for Bollywood as the romantic drama “Refugee,” featuring Kareena Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan, completes 24 years. Directed by JP Dutta, this film also boasted an impressive cast including Jackie Shroff, Sunil Shetty, and Anupam Kher.
To commemorate the occasion, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, showcasing memorable scenes and songs from the film. In her caption, she reflected on her journey, writing, “24 years of discovering myself and my characters …The best is yet to come…Love you all …” This nostalgic post resonates deeply with fans who have followed her career from its inception.
“Refugee,” released in 2000, was a significant film for both Kareena and Abhishek as it marked their debut in the Indian film industry. Though it was an average performer at the box office, ranking as the fifth highest-grossing film of the year, its impact on their careers was profound. The film’s narrative revolves around an unnamed Indian Muslim who assists illegal refugees from India and Pakistan (including modern-day Bangladesh) in crossing the border through the Great Rann of Kutch. The story drew inspiration from Keki N. Daruwalla’s short story “Love Across the Salt Desert.”
