"‘Raanjhanaa’ was more than a film for me": Sonam Kapoor’s emotional tribute will leave you teary-eyed!

In 2019, as ‘Raanjhanaa’ marked its sixth anniversary, ‘Sonam Kapoor’ took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to the film that basically redefined her journey of cinema. She shared her feelings towards this movie with a series of unseen behind-the-scenes photos, as she recalled the emotional and utter depth of the project.

Behind the scenes

The photos Sonam shared offered fans a rare and raw look into the scenes on set. From candid moments with ‘Dhanush’ and ‘Abhay Deol’ to director ‘Aanand L. Rai’ guiding scenes with quiet intensity, the images captured the spirit of collaboration that defined ‘Raanjhanaa.’

She wrote, "Raanjhanaa has always been very close to my heart. It explored ideals and conflicts that I still think about, even 6 years after the release. Thank you to the entire team for being so real and fearless.❤ @arrahman @aanandlrai @dhanushkraja @reallyswara @abhaydeol #6YearsOfRaanjhanaa."


These glimpses were not just nostalgic; they were also a reminder of how the film’s emotional vibrancy was born from genuine connection among its cast and crew.

A film that still resonates

Released in 2013, the movie ‘Raanjhanaa’ told the story of Kundan and Zoya, two souls bound by love but divided by fate and culture. Dhanush’s Hindi debut as the full-hearted Kundan and Sonam’s layered portrayal of Zoya created a story that was both intense and politically charged.

With A.R. Rahman’s unforgettable voice and Rai’s settled direction, the film became a cultural standard, sparking conversations about love, obsession, and identity.

Legacy in Frames

Sonam’s tribute wasn’t just a celebration of the past; it was an affirmation of the film’s legacy, which would never end. As fans continue to revisit ‘Raanjhanaa’ through its music, dialogues, and now these unseen moments shared by Sonam, it is quite clear that some stories don’t age; they deepen with time.
