cmongettingonnerves I was amazed at how badly made this movie is. The film boasts a rocking star cast - Anupam Kher, Jaya Bachhan, Rani Mukherjee, Konkona Sen Sharma, Abhishek Bachhan - but still fails to deliver!!They took a storyline that has been *made* and *remade* a gazillion times in Cinema the world over, and then made a hash of it! The story of an innocent girl turning to prostitution to fend for her family. The harsh reality of the lives of the poor. To see what society drives some women and their families too. The old rehashed story of desperate times, and even more desperate measures.. If you were however looking for good cinema you are in the wrong theater! This movie does not bother getting its hands dirty!Take the Marathi film *Doghi* (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305483/), subtract all the substance, add loads of glamor, allow for a pinch of acting, and you have the film *Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag*.

mazharusman Well, I have watched this movie yesterday and I am really disappointed. Firstly in doesn't happen like this in real life and also no one accept anyone like this. I got the idea of the movie plot from the name and there are may films on the same issue. I think there should be a movie which really guide to get rid of such situation rather to guide what happened in this movie. There should be some different concept like chukde India or like black. The movie makers should concentrate on how to take someone out of that market and struggle rather making a path for it. I am really disappointed and its a really waste of time of watching movie on same issue without any solution to it.

mohit_9390 It's somewhat original and not conventional so it is lovable….a story whose time has come. India is changing. Our social values are changing. Before we could digest live in relationships (read Salaam Namstey) comes another surprise from Yash Raj, in the form of Laga Chunri mein daag. Those who think that it is too premature or somewhat vulgar should look around for clues and then they will believe it. So is this movie about today's woman? The answer is Yes and No. Yes to the extent it is related to her and No because it's not just about her being a woman but it is also the way she would react to changing circumstances. This movie is not for the masses yet don't label it as an art movie. A small town girl whose father is going through survival issues and family disputes is repenting that he hasn't produced a boy. Rani, who comes to Bombay, to help her father financially, falls in a trap of big city. But the money that goes back to her town makes her father feel proud about her and he discovers that even a girl can be a great support like a boy would be for the parents. The story goes through many ups and downs. Rani's cute little sister discovers about her profession, but she reacts in a positive manner. I would dare to say that it is somewhat different than our traditional bollywood ways. I think this is the USP of this movie. After that Abhishek comes in her life and proposes to marry her. But to see what happens next you need to see the movie. The bollywood hero has evolved with Abhishek's response to Rani. The Yash Raj banner has evolved after producing the movie. The sister and mother has evolved after this movie. The Bharatiya nari has tremendously evolved with this movie. Now you decide whether you want to evolve or not. Watch this movie to see the changing maturity of Indian Cinema.

michael_metal This movie premiered on Oct 12, 2007. I was not too keen to watch another family drama but my friend Pratibha insisted that its not going to be a run-of-the-mill flick so I relented. I must say she was right and the movie worth the moolah! It begins with a song and dance routine featuring Shubhavari (Konkona Sen a.k.a Chutki) and Vibhavari (Rani Mukerji a.k.a Badki) on the river bank, meandering thru the by-lanes and leading to an old mansion in Benaras where we also get introduced to Anupam Kher (Shiv Shankar Sahay) and Jaya Bachchan (Sabitri) who are the leading ladies' parents. Everything's not hunky dory though-Kher's brother (played by Tinu Anand) and his son Ratan want to usurp the mansion and the family is distressed by occasional threats, quarrels and mounting litigation expenses. Anupam Kher is keeping poor health and Jaya Bachchan stitches clothes day in day out to supplement the family income.A film unit wants to hire the Kher mansion and pays them Rs.75000 but the windfall is momentary as the shoot is canceled. Distressed by her family's penury Vibha (Rani) lies to her folks about landing a job in Mumbai thanks to Sofia-the girl from the film unit. She lands in Mumbai and Sofia agrees to help her though her cold behavior suggests otherwise. Rani's lack of education sees her being chucked out from various jobs. Sofia's friend gives her some references but these don't work out either. Meanwhile Kher suffers a heart attack and Sofia's friend's boss spots Rani and agrees to help her. He asks Rani to spend the night with her-she is shocked but her family's condition makes her take the extreme step only to be told later that there was no job in the offing.Sofia asks Rani to leave and she goes and puts up at Michelle's place-the latter asks Rani to wield her power over men instead of being used by them. She helps Rani with her makeover and Rani becomes a top-notch escort and is soon flush with money-she sends money home regularly thereby helping her family to get rid of its poverty.During her flight to Zurich, Vibha meets Rohan (Abhishek B) and they share some light moments before she returns to Mumbai. Shortly before intermission Rani meets Ratan who threatens to spill the beans back home unless she pays him Rs.25000 every month. Rani agrees. She comes home to find her sister who has landed a job in Mumbai.Shubha (Konkona) meets and falls in love with Vivaan (Kunal Kapoor) who is Rohan's (AB's) younger sibling. Their marriage is fixed and shortly before flying to Benares Shubha finds out her elder's sister's dark secret. Initially she is shocked and annoyed but soon realizes that her sister did everything to support the family and she pursues Rani to accompany her back home.Alright fellas, you gotta watch the rest...lol! Rani Mukerji excels and so do the other members of the cast. A very good family drama with an undercurrent of a theme portraying the oldest profession in the world! Musical score is good too.Pssst...I almost burst out laughing when a girl sitting besides me started sobbing but I assure you this flick ain't a tearjerker...Sanjeev Logani :-)
