What happens

Woh Lamhe... (transl. Those Moments...) is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt under Vishesh Films. The film stars Kangana Ranaut and Shiney Ahuja. The film is supposedly based on Parveen Babi's life, her battle with schizophrenia and her relationship with Mahesh Bhatt to whom she was a lover as well as a mentor in his struggling days. Bhatt said that it is his tribute to the actress and the time he spent with her, hence the name Woh Lamhe... ("Those Moments"). Parveen Babi's character is played by Ranaut who is named Sana Azim in the film to avoid a direct reference to the actress. The film was critically acclaimed for its screenplay, direction, and a noteworthy performance of Ranaut. Ranaut’s acting performance in the film, is considered one of her best. Despite the film getting a lot of praise, it could not recover its budget in the box office and was a massive flop, recovering most of its cost from DVD and satellite television revenue. For her performance in the film, Ranaut won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut at the 52nd Filmfare Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
