Lamhe: The Cult Classic That Ruined a Promising Career 34 Years Ago
•Yash Chopra's 1991 film 'Lamhe', starring Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, was considered ahead of its time for its bold storyline.
•The film's plot, featuring a young woman falling for a much older man, was not well-received by audiences upon its initial release.
•Despite its box office failure, 'Lamhe' is now celebrated as a cult classic and a masterpiece of Hindi cinema 34 years later.
•Model Deepak Malhotra's acting in a pivotal scene, particularly his "Pallo... Pallo..." dialogue, was so heavily criticized it ended his promising Bollywood career.
•Malhotra had secured roles in major films like 'Darr' and 'Junoon' before 'Lamhe's release, but the film's reception led to his complete disappearance from the industry.
