I don't understand why are you nuts abou...Beth,<br />I don't understand why are you nuts about the element of exchange between Rajaram and Sandhya? <br />Please consider when movie was made(in earlier 80s) when India was still catching (or maybe is still catching up) to western ideologies.Sex before marriage was considered taboo and it had to potray that message. It is not judging anyone, it is giving message that don't get fooled by fake display( in short, all that glitters is not gold). The writers do not want us to think Rajaram is taking on a partner that would be generally seconds but it shows that if some1 loves some1 , then all their mistakes and past should not be taken in consideration. I would think Rajaram is potrayed as ideal lover.<br /><br />But again everyone is open to their interpretations.<br /><br />Take it easy .:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-21828574149626810442009-06-30T20:59:25.112-05:002009-06-30T20:59:25.112-05:00shell - BOOOOM! :)

His looks do seem to figure in a lot of his movies - in <i>Kalyug</i> for example, Subhadra (Supriya Pathak) gushes over his looks and tells her enraged fiance (Anant Nag) that the woman who marries him would be very lucky, indeed! But this is the first example I've seen from a movie that does not have him in the cast.bollyviewerhttp://bollyviewer-oldisgold.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-84622427711532745172009-06-26T20:17:50.736-05:002009-06-26T20:17:50.736-05:00My head would explode too, but in a good way.

I hope to review it tonight or tomorrow - I was so amused by that exchange that I had to stop mid-movie to share :)<br /><br />I'm not nuts about an element of the exchange between Rajaram and Sadnhya at the end, but other than that, it's an adorable film.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-48748923843791655212009-06-26T19:12:23.566-05:002009-06-26T19:12:23.566-05:00I found Sai Paranjpye's Katha to be pretty del...I found Sai Paranjpye's <i>Katha</i> to be pretty delightful. Farooq Shaikh (as the smarmy Vashudev), Naseeruddin Shah (as the quietly decent clerk Rajaram), and Deepti Naval (as Sandhya, the woman Rajaram loves but who is swept off her feet by Vashu) all give excellent performances. The neighbors in Rajaram and Sandhya's chawl are also vivid characters, and Paranjpye's script is full of small, telling moments. Any chance you'll give us a full review?Pessimisissimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223566131580795337noreply@blogger.com
