Why couldn't Mahima Chaudhry make it big after Pardes? - Page 3

Also the scene where she talks to her daughter on the phone after she moves out of the house. That movie was actually quite good it deserved better fate I wonder why it bombed.  😕

No honey. He was a cheater, and you know what they say, once a cheater always a cheater. 

I wouldn't be surprised if his character had many such train rendezvous that we were not shown. 😳😆

I felt so bad for Chandrachur, that guy got dumped thrice in the movie. First by Mahima, then by Kajol and then by Mahima again. 😔

My mom mentioned a couple times after Pardes that she's surprised Mahima wasn't in more movies because we really liked her in that. I think the only other movie I've watched with her is Dil Hai Tumhara and I remember my mom saying she played her role in Pardes better and she didn't like her in a more modern role. And in Dil Hai Tumhara my attention was on Preity so I think she couldn't maintain that screen presence she initially had.

^I actually despised her in Pardes! Her character was so annoying in that dumb movie! I thought she was much better in movies like DIL HAI TUMHARA and DIL KYA KARE!Edited by Bollywoodlaver - 5 years ago

Glad to see I am not the only one who likes this film.

The songs of the movie are also beautiful. And yes mahima looked beautiful and had a powerful role.

I actually liked Ajay Kajol's chemistry in this one a lot. The ending scene is particularly beautiful. But it would have been much better if it showed them having the one night stand before Ajay's marriage. The cheating angle did make the characters hard to sympathize with.

Mahima was also very pleasant in side roles in Dhadkan and Deewane.

I also like another film of hers, Yeh tera ghar yeh ghar. It's a nice film by priyadarshan and makes you feel for the characters. Even in lajja I liked her in her small role.

It's later in her career when she did sleazy films like Souten that put her in the z lister category. 

She was a decent to good actress in my opinion. Shame she didn't have a longer career.

^ I get why you might have been annoyed. The first time I watched it I was 7 so just loved it because kids don't see the flaws 😆 But when I rewatched it when I was older there were parts where I was also annoyed like her entrance when she's screaming 'Papa, Papa!' And I'm like who screams like that when their father is busy talking to someone? 😆 But despite some of the annoying things she still made an impact on me.

I was very young when pardes released actually, I still despised her, found her very annoying
