Harman-Imran: Dream debut or disaster?

In 1973, Raj Kapoor created history in B'town by producing and directing a film such as Bobby with rank newcomers. That was more than 30 years ago. But even today, filmmakers are 'inspired' by the Bobby phenomenon. We have the director-producer-fathers of the film industry who hope their sons become overnight success stories like Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia did with Bobby. And then directors who are tired of chasing established stars hope to recreate cinematic magic with newcomers.

After Bobby more than a dozen films have been made with newcomers and one trend is clearly visible. No film with two newcomers ever generates mediocre business. It’s either an astounding success or a dismal flop.

This week there are two films up for release Love Story 2050 and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Harman Baweja and Imran Khan aren't working with newcomers but both come from film families and expectations from both are sky high.
