Product description by Eros company Review At the time when Yash Chopra, launched CHANDNI, everyone thought the director has gone insane. But the director kept calm and quite. The film was made and released and soon after the release, it became a superhit and marked the beginning of the era of romanticism. Sri Devi is the soul of the movie. She never looked as beautiful as in Chandni. She doesn t play the character but live it. She looks amazing in her white salwar kameez . As everyone knows she excels in all spheres of acting, may it be romance, comedy, emotional scene, she does them all brilliantly. And this movie showcases her talent in this field. She looks vulnerable throughout but latter half presents her as a lady of substance. Her dance steps are again beautiful and her classical dance leaves u half-dead. Though the story was women oriented and there wasn t much scope for the male characters but even then Rishi was able to leave a mark on the screen. Though even in this movie he s not been able to come out of his chocolatty image. Vinod Khanna, leaves an impact on the audience. Actually, if I ll say that instead of Rishi, Vinod is the real hero of the movie. He played his part so well that audience empathizes with him. He, as a widower, has emoted the feelings fairly well. He makes you ponder over the fact that why this happened to him??? Yash Chopra. He presents simple things in such a way that they no more appear simple. He s always entitled as the leader than the follower. And with his CHANDNI, he started the era of romance. CHANDNI, is not the movie of any actor nut the director. He knows to get best out of artists. He challenges, his skills and challenges the artists. --mouthshut.com P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Actor Rishi Kapoor, known as Chintu, was born on 4th September 1952 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India to the first family of Bollywood.

Nothing compares to this movie if you are matured adult and have love for beauty
Sridevi is Apsara Face ( Angel Face) Yash Chopra exceeded his abilities to project her beauty at her peak. Nothing compares to this movie if you are matured adult and have love for beauty. Pure bliss.

"Say Yes Or No" ~ When Love Collides
Note: Hindi with English subtitles.From what I've read and heard about Yash Chopra's cinematic romance `Chandni' it appears to be a rather popular film. In some instances even referred to as a classic. So it's easy to understand why I had high expectations going into viewing this tale about a young woman, Chandni (Sridevi) who must ultimately choose between two eligible suitors, Rohit (Rishi Kapoor) and Lalit (Vinod Khanna).The first half of the film deals with an almost childlike first love between naïve Chandni and the impetuous Rohit. For my personal tastes this part of the movie was much too silly and I came close to turning off the DVD player several times. Fortunately things got much more interesting when Chandni and Rohit parted ways and Lalit was introduced into the film. The storyline had now moved past the immature antics that dominated earlier and much more adult motives and actions came into play. Now there were emotions and strong feelings to be dealt with and relationships to be explored. Romance was still the central focus but now a much needed depth had been added that made the second half enjoyable.What bothered me the most was the immense crowds of curious on-lookers watching the filming of any scene shot out in public. Whether on the streets, at a park, in a restaurant or at the airport you can't help but notice the multitude of people lining the actor's pathway or staring through windows to see what's going on. It's not only disconcerting, but it looks absolutely ridiculous.To be fair I have to admit that I've been spoiled by the cinematic excellence on display in much more recent releases such as `Kabhi Khushie Kabhie Gham' (2001), `Lagaan'(2001) and `Pinjar' (2003). `Chandhi' on the other hand was released in 1989 so there is a high degree of difference in production values which is to be expected.To end on a more positive note, I found Sridevi to be utterly charming, she reminds me quite a bit of Kajol. I also find myself becoming a Vinod Khanna fan. He exudes a strength and vulnerability that is both likable and accessible.
