I file them in my memory beside Sunny Deol's expostulations in Damini and Gadar - Ek Prem Katha and <br />Ajay Devgn's morose-fierce expression and Akshay Khanna's smirk.<br />Nasoor and Ardh Satya still remain on our must-view list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-41125588107884822202010-05-01T20:43:37.968-07:002010-05-01T20:43:37.968-07:00The girl in the lavanya dance looks like Reema Lag...The girl in the lavanya dance looks like Reema Lagoo.<br /><br />I saw it when it came out too, and was stunned at the end.

Aakrosh was her first movie. <BR/>Also you're right about the judge looking very much like Amartya Sen. But you don't say who he is really: do you know? <BR/>BTW, what meaning do you attribute to that scene of their encounter on the beach? I found it suggestive, but I can't not quite integrate it in my understanding of the movie...yet.<BR/>cheers<BR/>yvesyveshttp://www.letstalkaboutbollywood.com/article-30073222.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-9090880336257278272009-01-25T11:42:00.000-08:002009-01-25T11:42:00.000-08:00Thanks, Tawnya.

I was stunned (especially at the ending) and plan to rewatch it soon as I will probably appreciate it more now. <BR/><BR/>*When they first started renting VHS at the Indian store in Dallas where we lived - they charged $11 for a 2 day rental! And my parents and other first generation Indians were so desperate for their Bollywood fix that they happily paid it!Sanket Vyashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.com
