Set against the backdrop of India's struggle for independence, the film continues to remain etched in people's mind and soul because of Anil Kapoor's impeccable portrayal of the charismatic and charming Naren Singh. The film's timeless appeal is also a testament to Anil's prowess as a performer! One cannot not talk about the music of '1942: A Love Story'. Its soul-stirring music, composed by the musical maestro R.D. Burman, continues to resonate with audiences, transcending time and space. Songs like "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha," "Rim Jhim Rim Jhim," and "Kuch Na Kaho" still serve as an ode to love. 

The film is also a reflection on how Anil Kapoor has continued to charm the audience even now. The actor is basking in the success of his two latest releases - Animal and Fighter. Both the films are having a good run even on the OTT platform. Now, he's looking forward to the release of 'Subedaar', a Suresh Triveni directorial.
