It is very difficult for me to distil the character from the actor, as it is the perfect swan song of Madhuri's career.
No other actor other than Madhuri, could have essayed the character of Chandramukhi with the required dignity, grace, and earnestness.
When she sashays down the stairs, bedecked in what will now be considered loud make-up and garish jewellery, donning a heavily adorned lehenga (60 pounds, they say), to a classical thumri in Kahe Chhed Mohe, she is pure rhapsodic perfection.
This movie will be immortalised as a classic – like Kamal Amrohi's Pakeezah or K Asif's Mughal-E-Azam, and Chandramukhi will have a lion's share in helping it achieve that glory.
