I think it's one of the publicity photos. Can't remember the name now. Mithunda also appeared in a similar avtar for a popular brand surrounded by all the top models of India at that time like Kitu Gidwani, Sonu Walia, Bijli. I think it was for Mayur Fabrics. Btw, watch out for Mithunda's upcoming movies 'Zindagi Tere Naam' and 'Phir Kabhi'. Both are matured love stories. In fact, ZTN's songs are real good."Kananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935768144479233027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-9408376862759946222008-07-16T20:46:00.000-05:002008-07-16T20:46:00.000-05:00Never Mind!! - Yay!

I think that's my favorite too. <BR/><BR/>Shweta - That is some serious research you have done there, and I am very impressed with the tie to real life! I have sent the photo to my most Mithun-knowledgeable contact (my brain finally remembered his email address), and I will certainly post whatever info he comes up with. <BR/><BR/>And I support your obsession fully!<BR/><BR/>mm - Oooh! I remember those! And now I must go in search of the music....<BR/><BR/>Jasmine - It is not! But I can rent it locally, so that's the only reason I didn't buy it.

The "NL" MUST stand for "Natwar Lal." No, not the 1979 movie- but the story behind it. Natwar Lal is/was a real life con man, and was quite notorious in the late 70s, before being caught in the mid 80s. His fame clearly affected Bollywood, unless my head is wandering.<BR/><BR/>Obviously I am a crazy nerd, obsessed with 1 photograph :SShweta Mehrotra Gahlawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543438271055378809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-26958291321155531472008-07-11T10:26:00.000-05:002008-07-11T10:26:00.000-05:00Those were a delight!!

If that is from <I>Ajooba</I> and I have my history right, his wife probably just died, so it's nice to think of him smiling and being with friends.<BR/><BR/>And thank you re: banners! I love to make those (no surprise), and if you ever find a picture you think I need to use, send it along :) I'm going to try something with that Neetu/Amitabh picture this evening - it is too groovy not to use.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-35527436803695673642008-07-10T13:37:00.000-05:002008-07-10T13:37:00.000-05:00Btw, Ajooba is one of my favorite Amitabh movies, ...Btw, Ajooba is one of my favorite Amitabh movies, the sword scene near the end being the most favorite one. Thanks for the lovely photo of Shashi, Beth. His smile is to die for and those non-aligned teeth he has got just add charm like icing on the cake...

What kind of an establishment are you running here? After all, this is the only Amitabh film in which he can be seen battling a giant, Godzilla-style, man-in-a-rubber-suit monster. As such, it is not only a great film by default, but also a necessary contribution to world culture.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-26699440412051310622008-07-10T10:56:00.000-05:002008-07-10T10:56:00.000-05:00ajnabi - Fingers crossed!Shweta - I went through M...ajnabi - Fingers crossed!<BR/><BR/>Shweta - I went through Mithun's imdb list last night looking for a movie title whose words started with N and L, but no luck (haha).
