The year 2000 marked a period of evolution in Bollywood. While Hrithik Roshan made audiences go gaga with his debut film Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, other actors were also trying their luck in the industry. Around the same time, a small-budget film was released on the big screen, and to everyone’s surprise, it became a massive hit. Interestingly, the movie did not feature any big stars, yet it performed exceptionally well at the box office.
Thanks to its new-age comedy and popular songs, the film turned out to be a huge success. When it hit theaters, it took trade experts by surprise and exceeded all expectations. This rom-com became a hit and, over the years, earned a cult following among 90s kids. The film in discussion is Style.
Released in 2001 and directed by N. Chandra, Style introduced new actors, including Sahil Khan, Riya Sen, and Shilpi Sharma, alongside a relatively lesser-known Sharman Joshi. Style was a campus comedy packed with slapstick humor, witty one-liners, and below-the-belt jokes, blended with a touch of murder-mystery drama. Despite its unconventional mix, the film resonated with audiences and went on to become a sleeper hit.
