Chandni Bar

I can write a lot. Suffice it to say that all his life all that Madhur is attempting is to make a remake of this movie. That's how good and hard hitting this movie this is.

Very happy with purchase. Arrived promptly.

'Chandni Bar' exposes the common problems of big city societies, in this case, Mumbai. It is the story of underworld, prostitution, drugs, and crime. An orphaned girl becomes a dancer in Chandni Bar, eventually escapes the bar after marrying a top criminal, has two children, and the criminal/husband is killed. She goes back to the bar as a waitress-she is too old to be dancer any more-and manages to raise her children. She wants a wholesome future for them. But the son turns to crime and daughter becomes a dancer at Chandni Bar. Instead of the bright future she has dreamed for her children, all she can now see in them is her past.This film won four National Awards.

I love this movie and had to buy it again after lending mine to a friend.I don't want to give the story away.I think Tabu plays her character so well, and the story is so gripping.The emotions stay with you afterwards and you can understand her pain and feel sorry and frustrated for her.It shows that sometimes no matter how hard you suffer and try, you can't always make it better
