This review is from: Chandni (DVD)

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.

This is one of best Sri Devi films. Yash Chopra started the trend for romantic film and songs at exotic locations with this movie. The songs and dance is brilliant.
