Laaga Chunari Mein Daag - Journey of a Woman (2007) - Abhishek Bachchan - Rani Mukherjee - Bollywood - Indian Cinema - Hindi Film [DVD] [NTSC] by Abhishek Bachchan

Enjoyed especially how the movie ends. The end of the movie indeed demonstrated this truth: "love covers over all wrongs." Thanks for the great lesson and amazing entertainment!!

Laaga Chunari Mein Daag begins with dancing in the lanes and commons much like Bunty aur Babli with a must hear bright and beautiful song - Hum Tu Aise Hain. Two sisters, played by Rani and Konkona, are blessed with an unbreakable bond growing up with breakable parrents. Why is it that children in Indian films are often devoted and loving to bad parents (Jaya Bhaduri and Anupam Kher are both excellent at being bad parents) and children in American films often hate good parents?You may recognize the voice of Shreya Ghosha during the whispering Laaga Chunari Mein Daag song that is really mystical, but you can't dance to it. I'm becoming a big fan of Shreya. Curiously, two of the songs run out of words and end with dun dun dun ...or la la la... but it's okay. After a confrontational beginning between the boys and girls, the big wedding dance takes off with Kunal and Abhishek adding spice through their antics.Anyway, there are many wonderful scenes and the story is more or less believable. In the context of why I buy Indian films, this movie is a easy 4 but my wife loved it no doubt due to Kunal Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan. So, I have to give it a 5.

I enjoyed it

I love this film. I think they do a beautiful job telling a story with difficult elements. The music for the most part is fun and lighthearted.

Fun to watch

a wonderful story of a girl who leaves her family to get work to help her family. but when she tries to get work she finds out without an education she has troubles. she interwiewsfor a job and finds out she sleeps with the man she will get it. she finds out she has no choice so she gives in. then she finds that he cant give her a job. a friend tells her she can become what ever she wants. her father is ill and they are desperate for money. so she sacrifices herself with out her family knowing. only her mother knows.so she becomes Natasha a high priced escort girl.. it is a story about sacrifice. about her love for her family. you will enjoy this movie.

Excellent movie, great composition, lighting, colorfull and great acting from Rani Murkehi, Konkona Sen Sharma,, Jaya Bachchan, and the rest of the cast they did an excellent role to make this story come to liofe, the colorfull images excellent photography and lighting to illustrate and make this story come to life.Loved it.

The spectacle, the beautiful scenery, the colors, the music.. I love everything Bollywood!The lead actress was wonderful. The story was heart warming. The only negative part was I thoughtthe two kinsmen (the villains) got off way too easy.I loved it, and I have already watched it about 30 times.

Very well made multistarrer YRF melodrama. Describes the plight of a poor family with 2 daughters in severe financial crisis. One moves to Mumbai in search of a job and gets exploited. She sacrifices all her happiness for her family. Dominated by the acting of Rani Mukherjee, but all have acted their roles perfectly.Good 5.1 surround sound and picture quality even in DVD format. Shot in Banaras most of the time. Family and social drama.A must have in any home digital video library.Buy one before it vanishes.

Ce film est une vraie surprise car tout en étant un Bollywood, il est bien plus que cela. L'action commence à Benarès: les premières danses donnent alors l'occasion de voir le Gange, les rues et un vieux palais. Les références Satyajit Ray sont alors explicites, bien que tout soit en couleur et non en noir et blanc on se croirait dans la "Trilogie d'Apu" et notamment "l'Invaincu".Plus tard on voit un vieux père enfermé dans son monde passé incapable d'affronter les réalités présentes. On pense encore au très classique Satyajit Ray et on se croirait vers le "salon de musique".Ensuite le thème rejoint encore le cinéma indien classique et réaliste: on y découvre un Bombay cupide et destructeur d'une jeunesse pourtant ambitieuse. Mais Bollywood oblige: retour aux danses ( en Suisse, comme toujours!), aux coups de vent qui indiquent les émotions et, pour les cœurs tendres,bien sûr une fin heureuse et romantique à souhait.

Modern Hindi Classic!Lovely and Bold Rani Mukherji...what a performance! Must See Movie.

नमस्ते ,Histoire très banale mais qui souligne si bien la différence entre l'orient respectueux des valeurs familiales, de l'amour de la vie et la nature, en opposition à la débauche occidentale qui néanmoins permet à Vibha/Natasha de faire survivre sa famille et finir ses études à sa soeur (QUI? si rare,paye les études de sa soeur ou son frère en occident?)Reflexe normal en Inde!?!Je ne clamerais pas encore car évident, la qualité de la Musique, du Rythme,des Danses, mais tiens à souligner que Rani Mukherjee y est Splendide.Bon film à vous,Éric एरिक

This is a Bollywood movie that addresses issues of expectations, values and restrictions placed on women by society. It also looks at the varying pressures on family members. If that sounds a bit heavy and depressing there are also two love stories and a happy ending.
