Chandni

Chandni (Hindi: चांदनी, Translation: "Moonlight") is a Hindi film released in 1989. The film stars Sridevi, Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna, and was directed by Yash Chopra.

Chandni was a blockbuster in 1989 and is one of the most successful films of Indian cinema. The huge profits of this musical brought an end to director Yash Chopra's lean phase. The platinum success of its music was instrumental in ending the era of violence in Bollywood and bringing back music into Hindi films. The film reaffirmed Sridevi's position as the top female star of the Eighties. It also prolonged Rishi Kapoor's fading career and reassured that he was still profitable as a lead hero for his producers. The film also provided a boost for Vinod Khanna's career since he returned to Bollywood. The film also reunited Kapoor and Khanna, who were last seen together in the popular film Amar Akbar Anthony in 1977. Sridevi's white costumes became popular as the 'Chandni Look' and the songs of the film are still a rage. Though it was not the first time Yash Chopra shot a film in Switzerland, the extensive scenes shot there made it a popular destination to visit for Indians.

The film won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film of that year.
