Lamhe: Sridevi's Dual Role Shines, But One Actor's Career Sank After This 1991 Classic
•Anil Kapoor and Sridevi's 1991 film 'Lamhe', directed by Yash Chopra, initially struggled at the box office but later achieved cult classic status.
•Sridevi delivered a memorable double role performance as both mother Pallavi and daughter Pooja, earning widespread acclaim for her versatility.
•The film's unique storyline featured Anil Kapoor's character Viren falling for Pallavi, and later, Pallavi's daughter Pooja falling for the middle-aged Viren.
•Deepak Malhotra, who played Pallavi's husband, received severe criticism for his poor acting, especially the infamous 'Pallo-Pallo' scene.
•'Lamhe' proved to be a career-ending film for Deepak Malhotra; despite subsequent roles, his acting career stalled completely after its release.
