Synopsis
While Chopra always considered the audience king, he maintained a strict integrity to the stories he told, often risking financial failure in doing so. While critics loved Lamhe – an epic love story about a man (Anil Kapoor) who falls for an older woman (Sridevi), only to end up falling for her daughter (also Sridevi) – rural audiences were shocked by the risqué themes. Advised to change the ending, Chopra stuck to his guns and the movie bombed. He was vindicated, however, when Lamhe scored Best Film at the Filmfare Awards and is now considered a modern Hindi classic.
