Chandni is an example of Hasya Rasa because Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi are bursting with joi-de-vivre. Rishi Kapoor’s purpose of life is to make his beloved feel special and spread happiness. All their interactions before the accident are filled with fun and laughter until destiny plays a cruel joke on both.  

Yash Chopra’s Daag based on Gulshan Nanda story reflects Karuna Rasa for all the three protagonists – lovers Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore, now separated and Raakhee, because of her haunting past.  Rajesh Khanna meets the desolate Rakhee on a faraway location and lends his name to her child. It is a complex story of complex situations and characters.
