Anecdotes

Citations
Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): Rather than messing up with me inside the courtroom, it's better we settle matters outside it Govind. You know very well, Indrajit Chaddha can't be defeated.
Govind: [Smiling sarcastically] Chaddha, have you ever seen kids extracting kites from electrical wires ?
Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Confused] What ?
Govind: There happen to be wires from whom even kids can extract their kites, no matter how entangled. Thats a different thing though. By taking up Damini's case, you've touched a wire which will unleash such an electrical buzzer upon you that you'll forget getting bumps once and for all.
Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Irritated] The rope is burnt, but it seems some tensile strength remains. Gupta is willing to pay 400 thousand. For the reputation of a girl, this amount is fairly sufficient.
Govind: [Sarcastically] You've made a lot of progress Chaddha, from brokering of justice you've come down to auctioning of honour ! This profession is called PIMPING !
Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Furiously shouting] Govind...... ..
Govind: [Replying even loudly] Don't dare scream. Or I'll wrap this case right here, right now. No hearing dates, no verdicts. Just plain justice
[crushing his cigarette on Amrish Puri's face]
Govind: that too is gonna be blistering.
[Annoyed at Amrish Puri's henchman drawing a machete]
Govind: Chaddha, explain to him that such toys can now be purchased at nearby shops. But you can't buy the guts required to operate them from any market on earth. MEN are born with it.
[Threatening Amrish Puri with his fists]
Govind: And when this two and a half kg hand lands on someone, he doesn't just wake up,
[pointing up hinting death]
Govind: he simply RISES UP !
Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Humiliated] I'll answer of this in the court tomorrow.
Govind: [Pointing his fingers on Amrish Puri] And remember, if you dare misbehave there, I'll beat the hell out of you. Judge will keep screaming for order and you'll keep getting punched.
Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): Relax young man
[slipping and held by Sunny Deol by the shoulder, before being threatened to leave]
Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): .

Film(un)fare ignored the year's best performance!

Damini was a well made film that dealt with a woman's lone battle against a male dominated society to get justice for a rape victim. The film had some very powerful sequences in the second half, with Sunny Deol taking control. The film is remembered for its screenplay and direction and excellent performances from 3 actors,Meenakshi Seshadri, Sunny Deol and Amrish Puri. Director Rajkumar Santoshi combined a socially relevant subject with commercial ingredients to deliver one of the best films of the year.

Sunny Deol was easily the scene stealer. Although Rishi Kapoor was the main lead, he walked away with several awards, including the National award. Amrish Puri delivered a memorable depiction of the corrupt lawyer, Chadda. Rishi Kapoor was just about okay. Nadeem-Shravan came up with an average musical score. Meenakshi and Aamir Khan's pairing in the song Bin Saajan Jhoola Jhulu was refreshing.

Meenakshi Seshadri gave Damini everything she had and she truly shone in a performance of a lifetime. All who watched this film knew that the best actress trophy belonged to no one else in 1993, but her. She portrayed the role of Damini Gupta with complete conviction. Honestly, how Juhi Chawla won for Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke over Meenakshi in Damini, is a mystery that remains unsolved till date. I have lost all respect for Filmfare ever since!
