96 revolved around a lonely photographer, in his late 30s, who is stuck in the memories of his high-school romance. The film struck a chord with the audience thanks to the strong sense of nostalgia that it managed to evoke in the audience. Prem’s brilliant choice of hit 90s movie songs was the icing on the cake.
