As Rangeela completes 30 years, actress Urmila Matondkar celebrated the milestone with a heartfelt tribute.
She shared a video on Instagram grooving to the evergreen track Yai Re Yai Re, dressed in a chic blue-and-white mini dress.
The film, released in 1995, marked her breakthrough as a leading actress alongside Aamir Khan under the direction of Ram Gopal Varma.
Urmila also penned an emotional note, describing the film as more than just cinema, a “celebration of life” woven with joy, dreams, and triumph.
In her note, Urmila reflected on the magic of Rangeela, likening its songs and scenes to the Navrasa of Indian literature, each evoking innocence, wonder, and nostalgia.
She thanked her fans for embracing her journey, acknowledging the love and admiration that made her a fashion and cinematic icon of the 1990s.
For many, Rangeela remains a timeless symbol of Bollywood’s golden era of music, style and storytelling.
Interestingly, Urmila’s tribute has also reignited chatter online about her association with Ram Gopal Varma. Their names often appeared together in gossip columns during the film’s release three decades ago.
With her new video going viral, some netizens are once again speculating playfully about whether sparks might still linger between the actress and the filmmaker who helped shape her iconic stardom.
In fact, Urmila got sperated from her husband and is now a single, just like RGV.
