Review of Koyla (1997) by Asif K — 20 Nov 2010
Fairly decent. Raja Saheb is a horrible, and conniving, older man who takes pleasure in the misery of others. Proud of the power he wields, he falls for the beautiful, young Gauri and intends to make her his bride. He produces a plan, and presents a picture of Shankar (a young, handsome man who has grown up in the charge of Raja) to Gauri's aunt and uncle, along with a wedding proposal. Initially, Gauri is reluctant but glances at Shankar's picture. Believing that she will marry the young man in the picture, she accepts the proposal. Finding out later, she is deceived and forced into an unwanted marriage with Raja. Gauri and Shankar understand the loneliness and pain in living with Raja and his brother, Brijwa. Hoping to return Gauri to her brother, Shankar protects her while she stays in Raja's home. In the process, Shankar discovers some hidden truth along the way.
Shahrukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Amrish Puri, and Johny Lever stars. Worthy!
