Re: the smoking, I've heard that from a number of people - and I'm trying to keep an eye out for it in Hindi films of the same era, just for comparison. And now beloved Soumitra has cancer! NOOOOOO. <br /><br />PS Send me Soumitra film recommendations! :) Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-53698907655114163912012-11-30T17:22:12.820-06:002012-11-30T17:22:12.820-06:00I loved this movie.

A nattily dressed Shubhendu was one of my teenage crushes (yes I do know that he was way older than I) other than Soumitra Chatterjee.<br />About smoking: For a long time, as I grew up in my home state, West Bengal, I thought all guys smoked, except my father. It was (not sure if it still is) very common for bengalis to smoke as compared to any other community. I have seen Soumitra smoke in a lot of movies, probably never Uttam Kumar. Hell, even Ray's own creation, Detective Pradosh C Mitter, known as Feluda, is known by his pack of Charminars.Aparnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465535925292456208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1823645383381100202012-11-25T13:36:43.748-06:002012-11-25T13:36:43.748-06:00Ha!

If I have, it was when I was a kid and I have basically no impression of them now at all. And UGH Jerry Lewis. UUUUUGH. :) I liked the part of this film that focused on the romance more than the detectives, I admit, but it was all fun enough.
