It is said that movies reflect the contemporary life and are a mirror to society. Chandni, made in 1989, seems to have some problem with its mirror on Indian society.
In the last dialogue of the movie, when Vinod Khanna's mom asks him why he let Chandni go, he says:
Woh pyaar nahi tha, woh samjhauta tha; aur samjhauta par zindagi nahi guzaari ja sakti
(It was not love, it was a compromise and you cannot live your life on a compromise)
In a society built on the compromise called arranged marriage, I can only applaud the screenwriter for the guts to write this without any qualms on his conscience.

Agree Deeptiji, that screenwriter must have been fed up with society and was trying to be a rebel.
