Yash Chopra was one of the biggest directors in the Hindi film industry. He has treated the audience to some evergreen love stories.
However, there was a time when Chopra struggled to give a hit at the box office. He was going through a financial collapse.
During the 80s, action-heavy films were dominating theatres. But Yash Chopra wanted to do a romantic role.
At that time, an actress saved his production house and it was Sridevi. The movie Chopra decided to make is Chandni.
Rekha was the first choice for Chandni. However, when she rejected, Yash approached Sridevi, who agreed to take the project.
Chandni had a female lead with a striking appearance, an intriguing story and mesmerising music. The songs were composed by Shiv-Hari.
Along with the title track, songs like Mere Haathon Mein and Tere Mere Hothon Pe were very popular. Sridevi also became a sensation due to her chiffon sarees, which became a fashion statement.
Chandni, made on a budget of Rs 8 crores. The movie made a massive collection of Rs 27.2 crores at the box office.
