Lamhe- Yash Chopra I salute you
29 October 2007
In my opinion Lamhe is Yash Chopra best and most overlooked work. Anil Kapoor and Sridevi were fabulous, so were Anupum Kher and Waheeda Rehman. It was actually expected to be a huge hit but flopped miserably. It makes me wonder about the state of mind of the public when they can make Dil to Pagal hai a hit where it was merely average whilst the truly greatLamhe tanked. This movie ranks alongside other Yash Chopra's classic like Dewaar and Kabhie Kabhie. The songs were so good, especially Kabhi mein Kahoon. There are lots of iconic moments in this classic, for instance in the parody song where Waheeda Rehman sings aaj phir jeene ki tammana hai from her own movie Guide. Lamhe reminds of the old days when Yash Chopra made classics and not mass produced tosh.
