Film, Theatre, and Media

Raveena Tandon won the National Film Award for Best Actress for her powerful performance as a victim of domestic violence in the film 'Daman' (2001). This was a critically acclaimed role that showcased her dramatic range. 'Shool,' 'Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare,' and 'Aan' did not earn her this prestigious award.

'Jab We Met' was directed by Imtiaz Ali, who wrote and directed this romantic comedy starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. The film was a critical and commercial success that launched Kareena's iconic character Geet. Mani Ratnam, Madhur Bhandarkar, and Ashutosh Gowariker are acclaimed directors but not associated with this film.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai first appeared together in 'Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke' (2000), early in their careers. Their later collaborations include 'Guru,' 'Umrao Jaan,' and 'Kuch Na Kaho,' but Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke was their debut as a pair on screen.

The film 'Yuva' featured multiple jodis including Rani Mukherjee-Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgan-Kareena Kapoor, and Vivek Oberoi-Kareena Kapoor. The sizzling Rani-Abhishek pair was one of the main attractions, but the film also prominently featured the Vivek-Kareena pairing. Hrithik-Kareena and Hrithik-Aishwarya pairs are not in Yuva.

Brad Pitt married Jennifer Aniston in 2000, a major celebrity event. He appeared in Friends (in a guest role) earlier in the 1990s, not 2000. Ocean's Eleven was released in 2001. He turned 37 in 2000 (born in 1963), not 39. The marriage was the defining personal event of that year for him.

Brad Pitt portrayed the Greek hero Achilles in the 2004 film "Troy". This was a major leading role that showcased Pitt in an epic historical action setting. Paris, Hector, and Agamemnon were other important characters in the film but were played by different actors (Orlando Bloom, Eric Bana, and Brian Cox respectively).

After being impressed by "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", Brad Pitt approached Guy Ritchie and asked to be in his next film. Ritchie cast him in "Snatch" (2000) as a bare-knuckle boxer. Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, and Christopher Riley were not the directors Pitt approached.
