Aashiqui (translation: Love) is a 1990 Bollywood musical romance film directed by Mahesh Bhatt, starring Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal, and Deepak Tijori in pivotal roles. The film made the careers of singer Kumar Sanu and composers Nadeem-Shravan. Upon release it received positive reviews and emerged as an all-time blockbuster. The soundtrack album has been rated the fourth best ever by Planet Bollywood on their "100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks".
A sequel, Aashiqui 2, with a completely new theme, directed by Mohit Suri with Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, was released on 26 April 2013.
Rahul (Rahul Roy) is angry with his dad for marrying a second wife, while his first wife is still alive; meanwhile Anu (Anu Aggarwal) runs away from an oppressive girls' hostel run by Arnie Campbell (Tom Alter). Rahul and Anu are caught up in a disturbance and end up meeting and falling in love.
Rahul helps Anu become independent and seek a job. Anu is approached by a talent agent to be a model, an offer which she accepts. Rahul wants to marry Anu, but he first must establish himself as a singer, which he does. However, being under the impression that Anu helped him with his career, his ego is hurt. This causes him to harbour a growing resentment toward her.
Anu decides to further her career when the director Padamsee (Homi Wadia) persuades her to accompany him to Paris. When Rahul comes to stop her from boarding the flight, Anu stays behind to renew their relationship.
Produced by Super Cassettes Industries Limited & Vishesh Films.
Aashiqui was an all-time blockbuster at the box office in 1990 mainly due to its music, low budget and high grossing collection with the showings running to full houses.
