It’s shocking how nobody associated with the film pointed out those glaring errors.
Pointing out holes in the script of Laaga Chunari Mein Daag could make for a highly entertaining after-dinner game with friends. To remake a regressive film that was first made in the ‘70s, is to say that nothing has changed in all these years. My biggest problem with Laaga Chunari Mein Daag has nothing to do with how the film is made, it’s really about why this film was made. Flush with funds now, Rani is able to rescue her family from abject poverty, but can she face them with the truth? Uneducated, and possessing no skills that could find her employment of any kind, she’s left with no option but to turn to the world’s oldest profession in order to earn a living. Laaga Chunari Mein Daag is the story of a young girl in Benares, played by Rani Mukherjee, who moves to the big, bad city of Mumbai looking for a job, when her family falls upon hard times. Now the truth is, the same story was made exactly thirty years ago, as the Mumtaz-starrer Aaina, but I think most of us would like to believe that has very little relevance and absolutely no resonance in today’s times. Outdated and regressive, director Pradeep Sarkar’s Laaga Chunari Mein Daag is one of those embarrassing films that looks like it checked into the cinemas some thirty years too late. Cast: Rani Mukherjee, Jaya Bachchan, Konkona Sen Sharma
