I just adore the scene where the spunky Rakhee tries to steal food from the officers mess. She also looks her loveliest ever here. The songs are my faves too. Esp the title song - O meri Sharmilee.Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274222598587327676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-65233910460874869382010-02-27T08:57:02.485-06:002010-02-27T08:57:02.485-06:00I am SO with you on Kala Patthar- I love disaster ...I am SO with you on Kala Patthar- I love disaster movies, and this was the best ensemble cast. Granted, Shashi got rediculously lil screen time, but it is close to perfection.<br /><br />Never did liek Sharmilee- Rakhee annoys me for some reason, and her "nice" version in the movie simply wants me to brain her. She should have gotten herself to some of those nightclubs with her not-so-evil twin :DShweta Mehrotra Gahlawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543438271055378809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-26875322686771115702010-02-26T22:01:57.102-06:002010-02-26T22:01:57.102-06:00I can't believe I have only watched the first ...I can't believe I have only watched the first two from this list.

Amjad's den is indeed a masterpiece. Very creepy but also oddly inviting with plush carpet and houseplants. Plus ensuite bedroom!<br /><br />Christy, Anishok, and Kat - I'm so glad! That was one reason I wanted to do a 70s festival - many people who have watched primarily 2000s films have asked me what I'd recommend to start with, and as much as <i>I</i> love the 70s, I knew there was a ton I didn't know and hadn't seen, so I figured the best way for everyone to learn something was make other people get involved :) <br /><br />Nirvana - It's like we saw completely different films!<br /><br />bollyviewer - I do indeed (and tweeted as such last night) :) I figured some people might be surprised that there isn't <i>more</i> Shashi on the list!<br /><br />anon - Saw it!

Parvarish is an absolute king in the Masala Pradesh, with hilarious hijinks and very girl power-eque sisters, i was sold as soon as i saw it. But it had me at the wonderful den that Amjad inhabits! <br />And Kaala Patthar is just an excellent reworking of all those silly disaster films in the 70's at the same time, except i think its hollywood titles would be "Masala in the Mines!" But that superb fight between AB and Shotgun is just wicked!Rumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104185865100510017noreply@blogger.com
