I love this movie so very very much. Temple,...Sigh. I love this movie so very very much. Temple, I think you can fashion a very nice set of matching coasters out of those DVDs, at least? My non-working copy of Deewaar serves as such (but it does tend to stick to the bottom of very wet glasses, be warned) (oooh beverage warning of a different kind!). This movie has everything I could ever want from the 70s except Shashi, and frankly it is so very fine that I hardly miss him.<br /><br />That is good to know re: F(ake) P(retend) M(ovie) B(oy) F(riend). But that also means I have two in the 70s and I hope they can just agree to be competitors or work it out by one going under cover in the other's career path.... And Temple I do expect a list of your OWN FPMBFs sometime soon as I am not sure I know who they are!Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-56134745022390628922009-08-03T04:40:59.928-05:002009-08-03T04:40:59.928-05:00well Beth, I finally tracked down a copy with subt...well Beth, I finally tracked down a copy with subtitles. I own several other copies, including one where only Shammi rates a subtitle and we are left guessing at everyone else's dialogue. But the movie...where to begin? That fight in the hotel room where we know who they are but they don't but really they should have an inkling but anyway we know has possibly the hightest backflip and ninja jump to punch ratio I have seen in an age! Even better than the submarine and the mini-sub was the "swimming" - especially the gora lackey who had to try and defuse zee bombs. And the underwater fight scene. I am in total agreement re the flares and sassy attitudes of the heroines, and loved the sharp shooting qawwali. It's lucky that Shabana decided to be a serious actress because I don't feel dancing was her thing. And it was nice to see Master Tito - I wonder who he grew up to be. And I do approve of a good lair however, Mangal Singh did forget that rule about not having air ducts big enough to crawl through. Points off for that. <br />On the subject of the pretend filmi boyfirend, I had a very serious discussion about this with a friend and she told me it is in the rules that you can pick the filmi fella AND the era - which is nice as Shashi in the 70s is way more appealing than Shashi in his 70s...Templehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02100144509902267935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-52755099541043942622008-08-02T21:05:00.000-05:002008-08-02T21:05:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296407098387050782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1163858154187903572006-11-18T07:55:00.000-06:002006-11-18T07:55:00.000-06:00nameste bethlove this film and enjoyed the re-view...nameste beth<BR/>love this film and enjoyed the re-view<BR/>cheers<BR/>jhaji.sanjay jhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983779446003759735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1163694049603556722006-11-16T10:20:00.000-06:002006-11-16T10:20:00.000-06:00Y'know, my mum used to work for IA way back when a...Y'know, my mum used to work for IA way back when and I'm fairly certain she's met your FPMFIL *and* gotten his autograph... which she then proceeded to misplace. <BR/><BR/>*sigh*<BR/><BR/>she's very non-Bollywood, kya karoon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1163025898153772872006-11-08T16:44:00.000-06:002006-11-08T16:44:00.000-06:00Speaking of Vinod (which leads one to dwell moment...Speaking of Vinod (which leads one to dwell momentarily on his son Akshaye and chuckle somewhat) and this phenomenon unique to Bollywood of creative incest: I wonder if people would up for voting for various father/son and mother/daughter actor combos in Bollywood. I can see the following categories:<BR/>Son who let down Dad most<BR/>Daughter who let down Mum most<BR/>Son who did better than Dad<BR/>Duaghter who better than Mum<BR/>What was Dad/Mum thinking?<BR/><BR/>Note these categories would eliminate us from having to evaluate Saif against Sharmila, which is only fair.<BR/><BR/>It could be fun, you know :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1163018449309132422006-11-08T14:40:00.000-06:002006-11-08T14:40:00.000-06:00How on earth did I miss this one???

It has one of those rooms where spikes pop out of walls that slowly close in on the hero. Where do you hire the contractors who built these places?Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17887643336475509672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1162938819131845582006-11-07T16:33:00.000-06:002006-11-07T16:33:00.000-06:00This sounds awesome.
