"Faasle" is one of the movies of Yash Chopra, which isn't readily available in TV channels, streaming sites, or any other media; and rarely talked of. Well, I had to wait over 20 years to track it down; and surprisingly, it's one of the most unconventional and well made movies from the 80s.
The beauty with which Yash Chopra weaves romantic movies appears in "Faasle" in terms of its film making, narration, performances, music, and overall its beautiful filming locations. A trend of redefining romance and shooting foreign locations which continued in his better films like "Chadni," "Lamhe," or "Darr" started with this one.
Story-wise, it's an assorted tale of three love stories which take place under different circumstances and gaps created in between; adorned with delectable dialogues and superb ensemble acting along refreshing debuts of Farah and Rohan Kapoor. However, a shortcoming in its script overweighs its beauty; and it's the bland and surficial plot development which keeps one watching but doesn't strongly root the characters. Overall, it's one of those rare movies which despite the traits of good film making was written off to be dismissive.
Rating: 2 stars out of 4.
