Romantic films are infamous for a fixed formula. A guy meets a girl and they fall in love. There are some hardships that come in their way and they overcome it. This formula has been used many times and probably that’s the reason some people developed contempt for romantic films.
But, it is not the same with Lamhe. In fact, the beauty of the film lies in the fact that it is highly unconventional. Normally, shock is not the element used in romantic films but Yash Chopra had other plans in mind.
Regardless, the film has an ensemble cast of Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, and Waheeda Rehman. The movie tells the story of Viren and Pallavi where the man falls for the woman. Things happen in a way that Pallavi marries someone else and she dies a little while after giving birth to a girl called Pooja.
Viren returns to Rajasthan and the rest of the film prepares you for a shock.
Yash Chopra is a director who is known for romance. He has multiple romances in his filmographies like Kabhi Kabhie and Chandni. But, Lamhe is different.
Just like any Yash Chopra film, it has an extremely beautiful album with songs like Morni Baga Mein, Meri Bindiya, etc.
The aesthetic sense, the music, the brilliant performance, and the exceptional story make this film a great watch. If you are ready for a new kind of romantic film then Lamhe is the ultimate go to option.
If you are wondering then you can watch the film on Prime Video.
