Which is better film, Chandni or Lamhe - Page 2

Lamhe obviously. If you can ignore its moral implications, you can see that it's one of the best movies of the 90s. I don't watch movies for morality or the social implications; as an art, Lamhe is a classic for me.

Chandni was too melodramatic and loud for my taste. The plot wasn't particularly intriguing either.

Both are regressive CRAP and remembered only for stellar cast, music and foreign locations.

Still Chandni is better than borderline incestuous and pedophilic Lamhe.

Disgusting concept to show child in love with her much older benefactor and man loving daughter coz she looks like her mom who he had hots for. Yuck.

Chandni has irritating character of Rishi's bitchy family and he is also spineless. I wish Sri had gone with Vinod than Rishi in that one.

Don't think you could label Lamhe as a regressive film. In fact, it's the opposite. It dealt with such a controversial topic. Might be ahead of its time. But then again, if it had released today, social media would have had a blast slamming the movie. 😆

Nothing ahead of its time in borderline paedophilia and incest.

It flopped and for a good reason. I am glad audience rejected it.

Nothing like art form for me. It is a slow, boring film anyway. It is hyped only online and that too by Sridevi and YRF fans. Otherwise it has no craze in real life except for one hit Morni song.

You are entitled your opinion though. And I am entitled to mine. I see this film as nothing more than a pervert propaganda to normalize predators and pedos and brainwash young girls in favour of grooming.

What you told is true.but anil didnt love choti sridevi because of her resemblance with her mother.He told her clearly that he loved only her mother.but in the end seeing her love for him,he started loving her unknowingly.

In the movie the other woman asked sridevi about it.her reply was anil just sponsered her,he didnt do her upbringing.upbringing was done by anil's mother.ofcourse she gave a stupid excuse.

Imagine you raise the baby girl and pay for her education and upbringing only to marry her later or avoid her as you cannot control yourself because she looks like her mom you had hots for? Yuck concept. Hero lusts after mom as a teen and lusts after daughter as a middle aged man. Puke. Maa nahi toh beti sahi. What a perverted concept!

Please. This is grooming. If a young teen is infatuated with an older man, his job is to ignore it instead of playing along.

And it is not just love that Anil saw. He clearly got attraction and confused feelings for her due to her resemblance to her mom.

Lot of students or young interns or employees may have crush for their tutors, coaches or boss for eg. And even flaunt that infatuation openly. Does it mean those older ones reciprocate? Some young ones are even infatuated with older married men who have kids. Does it mean that open obsession or infatuation should be reciprocated?

What young Sridevi had for older Anil was obsession and infatuation. She was clearly in that hormonal phase when teens or youngsters get fascinated by some older man who is nice to them or appears mysterious.

Sri lacks parents which is why she craves attention. To take advantage of an orphan like this is cheap. He was literally her benefactor and raised her. A benefactor and someone who takes responsibility of raising a child is almost like a parent figure. Not a romantic lover or future spouse unless he raised kid with intention of waiting for her to grow up and later marry her.

Anil is a predator and groomer in Lamhe. Pervert.

You are right.but till the end he avoided her..he was indifferent and rude to her.only in the climax he accepted her.

He was avoiding her because he was clearly attracted to her due to appearance and reminded of her mom and his crush on her. He felt uncomfortable with his feelings.

So began avoiding her. But the way Anupam has also acted like a pro grooming, quasi p*mp here is shameful and Waheeda's character also endorsing these feelings is lowest low.

Reminds of old days when older men used to marry little girls or waited for them to grow up to use them.

His accepting her is nothing else but yielding to his own obsession with her mom and taking advantage of the chance he has with her due to her own infatuation with her.

Yes anupam and mom tried to unite them.

Yes. Most disgusting part. To play p*mp and promote incest and paedophilia and encourage young girl also to have infatuation for her benefactor and old man to marry girl who he literally provided for since she was baby.

I wonder if Anil was also her legal guardian after demise of her parents, on paper?

Waheeda character reminds me of oldies who would marry of little girls to men of dad's age.
