By the time I was four, its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/music\/hindi-songs-english-radio-how-my-mothers-playlist-taught-me-to-find-my-own-frequency\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cassette<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> had been played so many times in our house that the tape had worn out, and it had to be replaced twice. It was the epitome of the pre-Internet era replete with cassettes, longer attention spans, and songs whose popularity lasted beyond the next viral trend.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But of course, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is more than the sum of its songs. Complete with chiffon <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/indian-women-men-saree-dhoti-lungi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sarees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, gorgeous locales, charming heroes, and chaste romance,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chandni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is Yash Chopra 101. The story revolves around a love triangle: Rohit (Rishi Kapoor) is enchanted by the beauty of his beloved Chandni (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/sridevi-death-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sridevi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) but when he ends up paralysed after a tragic incident, he drives her away to save her from his terrible fate. It\u2019s then that Chandni meets Lalit (Vinod Khanna) who falls for her instantly. The film takes a turn when Rohit returns, healed, and still very much in love with Chandni.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its heart, the movie is a celebration of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/why-do-we-hate-womens-magazines-feminism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feminine beauty<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that is effusive and unadulterated. The line between appreciation and objectification is always a thin one. But<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chandni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> largely manages that delicate balance with panache. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the quintessential male fantasy in motion; except with Yash Chopra behind the camera, that fantasy translates as adoration and appreciation, instead of overt sexualisation. There is a sense of innocent abandon in the way the movie celebrates the splendor of Chandni that reels you in. Every shot feels like a gentle caress, like the gaze of an admirer or a devotee. Yet for all its flourishes, it\u2019s this very gaze that robs <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of much of its complexity.<\/span>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54380\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1568446486.jpg\" alt=\"sridevi_chandni_movie\" width=\"612\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>There is a sense of innocent abandon in the way the movie celebrates the splendor of Chandni that reels you in.<\/p>\n<p>Yash Raj Films<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film\u2019s plot is paper thin and most of the scenes play out as an extended version of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/music\/the-love-song-of-amrita-pritam\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love song<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Falling in love in Chandni\u2019s universe is as simple and as quick as looking at her. Nuances beyond that are ignored to an extent where the lead couple become estranged because they had to confront the cruelties of real life. Being in love with a paralysed individual is a kind of a story that, in a non-<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> universe, is an opportunity to explore ideas about the definition of true love and what it takes to make it work. But in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it is simply an excuse to introduce a different variant of a hero.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a character, Chandni, forced to choose between two men, is not a pushover and Sridevi plays her with a quiet, almost stubborn fieriness. Yet, the movie gives us no glimpse into the aspects of Chandni that are not skin-deep. Her resilience, her willingness to make even an impossible <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/what-is-love-relationship-long-distance-breakup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relationship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> work, her readiness to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her paralysed fianc\u00e9, her ability to bounce back from a break-up and start afresh remain passing thoughts. Even Chandni\u2019s pain over losing her love gets no screen time, perhaps because an angsty woman does not have the same place in a male fantasy.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Through Chandni, Chopra posits beauty as both, a motivation, and the destination.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even in her incomplete depiction, Chandni holds within her the essence of not just the male fantasy but also female aspiration. Chandni is the kind of woman who wears an anklet in the shower, writes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-experiment\/letter-to-body-parts-body-positivity-self-love-mumbai-artist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">letters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> next to a dimly-lit candle, dances in the rain, and even in her grief, allows herself to be framed next to a sunset. More than a woman, Chandni is an idea of perfection, the kind that an 11-year-old me wanted to replicate with my mother\u2019s stolen dupattas in front of a mirror. Through <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Chopra posits beauty as both, a motivation, and the destination. The issue isn\u2019t that it is problematic \u2013 aspiring for beauty is a universal human condition. The flaw is that it is a reductive gaze: It remains so focused on romanticising physical beauty that the movie neglects to explore how Chandni thinks of her world and more importantly, of herself.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54381\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1568446487.jpg\" alt=\"rishi_kapoor_sridevi_chandni\" width=\"543\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>While it manages to steer away from blatant sexualisation, <i>Chandni<\/i> boasts of the same derivative patterns that most art, like paintings, literature, and poetry, made by men to service the idea of their female muses, have long exhibited. <\/p>\n<p>Yash Raj Films<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three decades later, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">then, remains a persuasive evidence of the problems with men only treating women as their ultimate fantasy. While it manages to steer away from blatant sexualisation, it boasts of the same derivative patterns that most art, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/millennials-artists-selfies-van-gogh-self-portait\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paintings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, literature, and poetry, made by men to service the idea of their female muses, have long exhibited.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brand of male fantasy art scrubs its women clean of all the mess that accompanies their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/game-of-thrones-ambition-pride-human-nature\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">humanity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It only focuses on the attractive parts, the parts that are pleasing and palatable, the parts that imagine women as these larger-than-life creatures who remain prim, proper, unflustered, and most importantly beautiful despite adversities. They don\u2019t see women, they see the woman they want her to be. They cherry-pick, because it spares them, makes them feel safe, and keeps them insulated from the truth about their women\u2019s humanity. Essentially, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a poem that happens to be a full-length movie. It\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandni\u2019s<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> biggest compliment and its biggest criticism. That in a nutshell is the film\u2019s legacy.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandni is the quintessential male fantasy in motion; except with Yash Chopra behind the camera, that fantasy translates as adoration and appreciation, instead of overt sexualisation.
