It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I remember when this movie first released, and I was told that I was too young to watch it. My mother told me that the theme of the movie was a little mature for my age, so after huffing and puffing, I decided I would wait a little while.So, about two weeks ago, I decided to finally watch it (late much?) ha ha. And well, it was worth the wait. As the movie opened up on screen, I knew from that moment that it would be amazing.This is a story of a family, this is a story of a boy and a girl, this is a story of two sisters, this is a story about the truth of life and what people do for a living to make an income for themselves.Badki and Chutki (Rani Mukherjee and Konkona Sen Sharma) are living happily with their parents (Jaya Bachchan and Anupam Kher) even though Banaras isn't the most glamorous place in India, and neither is their current lifestyle. But all that changes simply when their father gets a heart attack after a certain string of events.Rani Mukherjee rushes to the city where it can all happen, certain that she will make it big and send her family money for her father's medicines and treatment. She is proved wrong. After her qualifications and language barrier preventing her from doing the jobs she tries out for, she only has one solution-prostitution.Now, this is where the movie takes a big leap forward. And you slowly watch the transformation of a small village girl becoming a high level escort, taking the name of Natasha. lying to her family and sending high amounts of money, causes her father happy, her sister excited, and her mother onto what she is doing.This movie is not a tear-jerker, though some scenes may make you cry if you cry easily. Note the scene where Konkona finds out about Natasha and follows her to the hotel and then the breakdown which follows. Or the scene where her life is unfolding in front of her eyes. Or maybe the scene in which she lets the manager of the company take full advantage of her. They all leave a lasting impact on you, even after the movie has finished.Rani Mukherjee proves once again-she can act. We've seen her in many different characters, each with a different state of mind and under different circumstances. Konkona Sen Sharma also acted exceptionally well as the little sister. Kunal Kapoor is very convincing. Abishek Bachchan is just wasted. Anupam Kher is very good. Jaya Bachchan is alright.Definitely worth a watch, but watch this alone, not with family.

What can I say except for the Golden Triangel of Bollywood has made the film a master-piece in superb acting.Jaya Bachan Rani Mukerjee Konkona SenWhat a golden Triangle, all of the have excellent skills in acting and the whole movie is carried on these girls shoulders, and they have done a really good job.Iam trying to understand why this movie was a flop in India, was it the critics or the public who didn't wanna see it ? Do the public only want Masala Movies with no meaning like Om SHanti Om (eventhough SRK is a brilliant actor). I don't wanna tell about the story but Laaga Chunari Mein Daag is a must see movie, and if you liked Saawaria and Om Shanti Om, I can guarantee that this movie has more dept to offer.One of this years best movies in Drama is :Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, And thriller : Bhool Bhulayaa

A look at a lush green fully grown tree might be a treat for one's eye but even it's root might have ended up in some drain of a cosmopolitan city from where it sources its life.Well such is the story of this movie where in a simple small town girl falls in the webs of the flesh industry to get her family out of it's hysterical trouble. Now when such is the story of the movie less is left for the director and more for the actors to perform....and do they deliver???....YES they do, Rani Mukherjee does justice to this difficult role that she has performed, specially during the transformation from a village girl to the so called "high class escort". But Hats off to Jaya Bachchan & Konkona Sen Sharma who i should say is a jewel of bollywood. Its now that i realize how talented Mrs Bachchan is, a remarkable performance i should say. Abhiskek Bachchan is not Akshay Kumar but does his part in the movie to the audience's pleasure.On an all it is a well crafted movie, a movie on which effort has not been put only to sell it but otherwise.As far as the Rs 220 that i spent on watching this film is concerned, i think i got my money's worth. My suggestion is "please go and watch the film for the performances.

We have seen Bollywood churn out several good movies about the innocent small-town girl who is forced into a life of prostitution. One of my personal favorites, Julie, depicts this story very well. We get to see the same story once again in LCMD. I think the biggest strength of the film is Rani's great performance followed by the beautiful cinematography from the ghats of Banaras to the Mumbai skyline. Rani's performances are improving film by film, and one can now safely say that she is the top actress in Bollywood. Konkona Sen also does a good job. Hema Malini is a pleasant surprise. Jaya is a big disappointment after her lovely performances in Kal Ho Naa Ho, Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe, and Fiza. Anupam Kher was OK. Songs are decent. Being a Yash Raj production, I had extremely high expectations. I wasn't let down totally, but expected something more, something new. If nothing else, watching the movie is a nice way to begin the festive season in a year where very few good movies have come out. For those of you who don't understand Hindi, the English subtitles are quite a comical translation.
