Woh Lamhe tells the story of Sana Azim (Kangana Ranaut), a Bollywood superstar who is dominated by her boyfriend Nikhil (Shaad Randhawa), who makes all her career decisions for her. To the world she is a successful and independent woman, but she's actually lonely and lost, a mere puppet in Nikhil's hands. Aditya Garewal (Shiney Ahuja) is an aspiring director keen on casting Sana for his debut film, but only on his own terms; he is willing to go to any lengths to get her to agree to the film, even if that means preying on her slight insecurities and her turbulent relationship with Nikhil. Nikhil is successful in casting her in her film, which turns out to be a super hit. But somewhere along the way he realizes that he just can't pull away from Sana; he has actually fallen in love with her in spite of his friend Sam (Purab Kohli) reminding him that Sana is just their ladder to success. As the film progresses Aditya realizes that Sana is not just insecure and lonely; she's also mentally unbalanced, suffering from acute schizophrenia. She's haunted by the imaginary Rani who leads her to believe that everyone is out to kill her. Sana's mother and Nikhil get her admitted to the hospital and resort to shock treatment to speed up her recovery so she can return to all her assignments. What follows is Aditya's unshakable belief that he can heal Sana; he even gives up his burgeoning career to take her away from the industry and free Sana from all of her mental demons. But she's unable to break free of her illness, and one day she walks out of Aditya's life, no longer wanting to be the cause of pain and turbulence in his life. Three years later they meet in a hospital after Sana's suicide attempt.

| User ReviewAmirah QGreat movie! Considering when the movie was released, it is ahead of its time. Shows a glimpse into the confusion, frustration and sorrow of being/knowing someone with mental health illnesses. Kangana has mental episodes, which someone who is not educated about mental health to be "crazy" or "psychotic" but thats the stigma that should be eliminated and instead understand where that person is coming from and try to help. The backlash from Shiney towards Kangana portrays at times is normal and realistic because dealing with mental health is not easy. Definitely a must watch and eye opener to real life mental health issues. |
| User ReviewKatie BThis is not the sort of movie that you watch to feel good. This movie is a sad movie-and that's what I love about it. The story? Amazing. But the best part of this movie, to me, are the performances by Kangana and Shiney. I had previously known little of Shiney, aside from seeing him in Life in A...Metro and Gangster, as well as his legal troubles. But after seeing his work here, I've gone out and rented a few of his other movies. The real star though, and rightfully so, is Kangana. She's my favourite actress for a reason-she has so much talent and she can pull off characters that quite a few other Bollywood starlets couldn't do. I am excited, personally, to see her doing more lighthearted fare like No Problem and Tannu Weds Mannu, which I am sure she will bring the same panache to that she did her previous roles. Her performance alone, in my eyes, makes this movie worth seeing, and the end, everytime I watch this, never fails to make me break down completely-and I've seen it at least a half-dozen times. |

| User ReviewMahesh PVery well made. Kangna is not that good an actress, but she did a good job portraying a schitzophrenic actress. Shiney Ahuja continues to impress me. The song "Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai" is incredible. Pritam is a really good director. |
