1942: A LOVE STORY (1994)
by
Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Songs, Cinematography, Editing, Dialogues, Performances- what is not near perfect in this greatest film of Vidhu Vinod Chopra's career?
I dont think Manisha Koirala looked more beautiful, or acted better in her entire career. Anil Kapoor spreads his natural charm like a wildflower. Jackie Shroff and Danny were in zone. Manohar Singh, Pran and Anupam Kher have packed some punch.
The film is mostly shot in and around Chamba (HP). The beauty of the locals matches Manisha's, and melodious songs provide wonderful accompaniment. The film takes the epic route, canvas is very large and the director is very ambitious.
Luckily his ambition pays off. What a film! One for the ages.
