It Happened One Night - Bollywood Style Quiz

Answer: Fishermen

Pooja is in love with an actor, Deepak, but her father doesn't approve of the match. She manages to escape from her father's boat, only to find police looking for her at the shore. A group of fisher folk come to her rescue when they offer her their clothes and help her to disguise.

Answer: Marathi

The words "Galyat Sankali Sonyachi" are used in both Marathi and Konkani, languages spoken by the fisher folk on the western coast of India. The refrain was taken from an old folk song and is present in both languages. It literally means "Who does this girl with a gold chain belong to?". The rest of the song contains Hindi lyrics.

Answer: Bus

Deepak is shooting for a film in Bangalore. Short of funds and trying not to catch the attention of any police or private detectives sent by her father, Pooja boards a bus.

In the original movie, "It Happened One Night", the heiress boards a bus to make the journey from Florida to New York City.

Answer: An out of work reporter

Raghu Jetley is a reporter who recently lost his job at a newspaper. He quickly seizes on the chance to get his job back by submitting an exclusive story on the runaway heiress. In return, he offers to help Pooja reach Bangalore. If she doesn't agree, he threatens to call her father and inform of her whereabouts.

Answer: Dil Tujhpe Aa Gaya

In one of the only sequences in the film that is not taken from the original, Pooja is kidnapped by a bunch of goons, who have no connection with the rest of the plot. Raghu manages to find and save her and while they escape, they run into a gypsy-like garden party. As expected, they don similar costumes and blend with the other dancers to escape detection.

"Dil Tujhpe Aa Gaya" was sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Anuradha Paudwal. The other incorrect options are all songs from the movie's soundtrack.

Answer: No

By this stage of the story, both Pooja and Raghu have realised that they are in love with each other. Pooja confesses to Raghu but he denies having feelings for her. Raghu is worried about his financial position and doesn't want to commit without any income to support them both. Unlike Pooja's allegedly gold-digging fiance, Raghu is portrayed as someone who would not take any money or financial support from Pooja's father.

Answer: To claim the money he spent on Pooja

Raghu sends a letter to Dharamchand, Pooja's father, asking for money. Dharamchand misunderstands this to mean the reward money he had announced for finding Pooja. When Pooja hears this, she is upset and determined to go ahead with her marriage to Deepak. On meeting Raghu, Dharamchand realises that he only wanted the money he had spent on Pooja during their journey and not any reward money.

This confirms to him that Raghu loves Pooja and he convinces Pooja to runaway from the wedding venue.

Answer: On a bus

Pooja runs away from the wedding venue in a car arranged by her father. She then reunites with Raghu in a bus, similar to how they first met.

The Hindi remake follows the originally movie quite closely right down to small details like Raghu claiming a small amount of expenses from Pooja's father and the clothesline hung between the two beds for privacy when Pooja and Raghu are on the run.

Answer: Anuradha Paudwal

Anuradha Paudwal was a well known singer at the time and had delivered notable hits for the film's music producers, T-Series. Her voice was used exclusively for Pooja on the film's soundtrack. This is not a common occurrence on Bollywood film soundtracks where typically different genres of songs are sung by different singers, even for the same character.

Answer: Aamir Khan & Pooja Bhatt

Pooja Bhatt is the daughter of the film's director, Mahesh Bhatt. This was her first major role as the female lead. Aamir Khan had already cemented his position as a romantic hero with his earlier films "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak", "Dil" and "Afsana Pyaar Ka" and gained a significant fan following by the time this movie released.

The fresh pairing and lighthearted romantic storyline resulted in the film being a hit at the box-office.
