Watch Lamhe For Free

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Bit of a cult movie this which gained more popularity overseas as the idea of a man trying to suppress feelings for the identikit daughter of his first love did not go down well with conservative Indian audiences. So fair play to Yash Chopra for tackling one of many taboo Indian issues (still no lip kissing though - even in the 90s) and obviously with Sridevi's passing, this becomes more of a poignant watch and an appreciation of her beauty, energy, comedy, dance talent and strong delivery dialogue that she maintained throughout her career. The surprises are Anupam Kher who is given over-the-top free rein as Anil Kapoor's best mate and 50s-60s icon Waheeda Rehman. They come to the fore in the classic song medley designed to cheer Anil Kapoor up as he mulls indeterminately over his first lost love - who didn't love him anyway. Look out especially for the clever Guide and Pyaasa nods. And that's the main problem with this movie - Anil Kapoor is wasted in his dour and wooden lead role - especially when you see the powerful moments when he does release emotions. Even then he is more charasmatic than Sridevi (mark one)'s husband - who even dressed up as an air force pilot fails to generate any screen presence. So many typical Bollywood features - lavish sets, lots of unbelievability (daughter looks exactly like her mum, how is Anil Kapoor so rich, who exactly is Waheeda Rehman and would you allow your best mate to live freely in palatial mansions, driving Mercs, jetting back and forth from India to England), great songs and overlong duration - the picnic scene could go straight out for example. Strangely enjoyable still.

I did not feel uncomfortable with this film, for I could not see how the film was supposedly "incestous". It's pretty far fetched to state that. I simply did not find the movie to be worth the hype surrounding it.The first Sridevi is super bugging, not by her acting but because of the stupid character she is given. Her acting is in fact, the only saving grace. I did not find her indecently dancing and interfering character to be a tad bit lovable.The second Sridevi is even more weird, for she absolutely loves a man, who prefers to keep a huge distance from her. This love story did not make any sense.Then there are the classic irritating Yash Raj elements. The hero pretends to love this girl whose love is supposedly questionable though she has waited years for him (just because she is not the heroine), to create a super sympathy seeking sacrifice scenario. There are 'funny' moments involving pathetic parodies by Anupam Kher and the new Sridevi. There is a 'kasam' by the heroine to marry only if the hero marries before her. I felt like sleeping through.Yes, I see the Yash Raj power in the film. Namely, the power to make the same senseless stuff repeatedly, and getting it to be called a 'classic'. If cinematography was everything, what were the need for something called a storyline? I love Waheeda Rehman, and it was a treat to watch her. The only good part of this film.

Best Acting , Best direction , Best Songs , Best Cinematography, powerful story line, and , no nonsense Bollywood type Masala!!! This movie will be liked by all at least once in one's life for sure , most probably during middle ages or beyond , and once liked , will always be liked no matter how many times this movie will be watched. Truly one of the best Masterpiece from Yash Chopra. However , it was Sridevi whose stupendous performance was beyond words can describe!! Her Non glamorous looks , actually , added lot of glamour in the film. With one of the best dialogues of all time , this movie is treat for both heart and mind!!

"Lamhe" was miles ahead of any Hindi movies produced in 90s. "Lamhe" is a story of unconditional love between two people. The love that has no boundaries and rules. The best ever love story made in Bollywood. Its shows how in life two people can fall in love forever and ultimately if they really yarn for each other they can be together. Its brings home some sense of comfort in knowing that love doesn't necessarily have to be conventional. Its a wonderful movie. The first couple in love are Siddarth and Pallavi who end up getting married and have a baby, called Pooja. When Viren meets Pallavi he falls in love with her and doesn't get over her all of his life. Then there is Pooja, love child of Siddarth and Pallavi, who falls in love with Viren in a twisted fate! Eventually Viren realises Pooja is the love he has been waiting for and who he really wants and they end up together. Well done Yash Chopra for a wonder movie and wonderful actors!
