I bet that one is better, and in fact I should go in search of its songs right now. <br /><br />Your second paragraph made me LOL. I much prefer Sanjay now. I didn't think he was horrible in this film, but his general look and way of acting are not my cup of tea. <br /><br />Diwali - Of course you are!!!! I have been thinking over your question about who else could have played Vishal to the same effect, and I am so ignorant of films circa 1985-95 that I honestly have no idea. <br /><br />Banno - That is my attitude as well. Fortunately youtube can help us with fashions and side-by-side dancing without requiring whole films.<br /><br />Kabir Bedi is VERY cool in his bubble bath. I do believe this is how he is introduced in the film, and I was chortling away at the idea of the bad guy in a bubble bath. And yes, that is his wife, serving him a cup of tea in the bath - your theory of women and their positions vis-à-vis bathing is totally sound. I had hoped for chippies too but sadly he is a family man through and through.<br /><br />memsaab - Soooooort of. I'm not sure the fun clothing and bubble baths were worth the 3 hours of the film. But at least they are there :) <br /><br />You are the first person I've met to admit to adoring Sanjay who is not a native speaker of either Hindi or German!<br /><br />Ellie - That's about how I felt about it too. He is introduced with a long and very sweaty workout sequence (in which his wife sits and watches quite keenly, which I found hilarious but was glad for re: women expressing self-determined sexuality etc etc), and I was done well before that was over, but then we get more of it in the sad sad song linked above. <br /><br />I am weak on Madhuri movies (because of previously mentioned aversion to 1985-95) but agree that it must be something really sterling in her herself that let her out of that era alive. I watched about 20 of her songs on a song DVD this summer and can totally get why people love her, but I think song DVD is the way to go, because you're likely to be getting the most consistently good aspects of her films. But even then, you have to see drunk Rishi failing to keep up with her, and that's really sad.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-29722890090589286332009-11-23T08:37:11.280-06:002009-11-23T08:37:11.280-06:00Wow.

(By the way, since you mentioned Madhuri briefly, it occurs to me that she seems weirdly to have come through the nineties unscathed. How is this possible? It's as if that was her native air and all those weird fashions cannot sully her. Juhi Chawla, for example, is equally beautiful but wasn't so lucky.)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888019230555832929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-16253619110933454802009-11-23T08:00:51.193-06:002009-11-23T08:00:51.193-06:00LOL!

Wow. What a title... *g*<br />Well, I actually do like Yalgaar, and I stand by it. Though I accept your views (not just the one about Vicky Arora), of course. I also do honestly doubt that I'd have liked the film as much had it been made without Sanju. Who else, for one, could have played Vishal's dialogue with his unborn son as sweet and touching as him?<br />But as you said - that's what makes life interesting and exciting. How boring would a world be in which we all would like the same things and films etc... <br />Cheers! :)Diwalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506103271846347452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-42285139472706635302009-11-23T06:33:05.557-06:002009-11-23T06:33:05.557-06:00When I saw the title, I thought this was the 80s f...When I saw the title, I thought this was the 80s film starring Kamal Hassan and Poonam Dillion, then I remembered there was a 90s movie with the same name. <br /><br />Manisha was so beautiful.
