The dance sequence they are recreating is known as 'the dance of envy' and is one of the most memorable moments from 'Dil To Pagal Hai,' a film that stands out in the history of Indian cinema for its modern approach to love and relationships set against the backdrop of dance.

The makers of 'Dance Deewane' have shared a preview of Madhuri Dixit Nene and Karisma's upcoming performance on social media, exciting fans with the caption "Television par pehli baar Madhuri and Karisma," which translates to "Madhuri and Karisma on television for the first time." This episode is a rare treat for fans of the film and these celebrated actresses, bringing a classic cinematic moment to life on the small screen.

Released in 1997, directed by Yash Chopra, and featuring music by Uttam Singh, the film was notable for its contemporary style and vibrant dance sequences that showcased the chemistry and rivalry between the characters played by Dixit and Karisma Kapoor.

'Dil To Pagal Hai' portrays the story of Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), who directs a dance troupe in which both Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) and Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) perform. The film explores themes of love and friendship with rich musical interludes and compelling dance performances, culminating in the iconic dance-off where Pooja and Nisha compete, reflecting their conflict over their feelings for Rahul.
