+Yash Chopra returns to his familiar brand of
+romances (cf. Silsila, 1981) in exotic locations
+with this tale of Chandni (Sridevi). She is seen -
+and for a large part of the film, also imagined -
+only through the eyes of her lover Rohit
+(Kapoor), who decorates the walls of his room
+with the countless snapshots he takes of her.
+Later, while showering his beloved with
+flowers from a helicopter, he falls and is
+partially paralysed, prompting him to break off
+the relationship. However, his sexually charged
+fantasies of Chandni eventually rekindle his
+desire to live. After an expensive operation in a
+hospital abroad, he is cured and re-enters
+Chandni’s life just when she is about to marry
+her boss, Lalit (Khanna). The film and its
+marketing campaign revolve entirely around
+Sridevi, confirming her as India’s top female
+star. Arguably, the whole film can be seen as an
+extended advertisement promoting Sridevi as
+the Indian film consumers’ ideal fantasy of
+womanhood. including the popular song by
+Lata Mangeshkar, ''Mere haathon main nau
+nau churiyan.''''''
