Chandni 1989

Chandni (Moonlight) is a 1989 Indian Hindi-language musical romance film directed and co-produced by Yash Chopra from a story written by Kamna Chandra with a screenplay by Umesh Kalbagh, Arun Kaul, and Sagar Sarhadi. The film stars Sridevi in the title role of Chandni Mathur, a young, effervescent woman torn between two suitors played by Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna. Waheeda Rehman, Anupam Kher, Juhi Chawla, Sushma Seth, Mita Vashisht, Manohar Singh feature in supporting roles. The eighties marked a professional setback in Chopra's career, After a series of failed action films, Chopra decided to return to his roots and make a romantic musical, a film with all the hallmarks of what has come to be known as the "Yash Chopra style" – heroine-oriented, romantic, emotional, depicting the lifestyle of the super-elite, with melodic music used in songs picturized in foreign locations. The film marked the first collaboration between Chopra and Sridevi; they would collaborate again for the path-breaking Lamhe (1991). Chandni was theatrically released on 15 September 1989 by Yash Raj Films.
