Rented Prem DVD starring Sanjay Kapoor and Tabu. I saw it in the mid 90s when it was released and always thought this to be Tabu's (and Sanjay Kapoor's) first film.
Further search on Tabu's earlier films on imdb and found this interesting (I'm sure it's common knowledge to many) info:

Quote:
------ Tabu looks good - and wasn't it a pity that we had to wait for her to reappear on screen for 8 years? (As she entered in a contract to do Boney Kapurs Prem - launching vehicle for Sanjay Kapoor - and no other movie during its making - and the project delayed.)
