When Amitji broke the proverbial 'third wall' and spoke to the audience after eating was just brilliant!<BR/><BR/>The movie did dissolve into silliness after the two became 'friends' but the comedy parts as well as the Kishore Kumar song 'Tune Abhi Dekha Nahi' make this film a must see for any fans of masala Bollywood movies.Sanket Vyashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-26681906128904179572008-01-28T14:34:00.000-08:002008-01-28T14:34:00.000-08:00I ordinarily would not object to being appointed "...I ordinarily would not object to being appointed "word-on-the-street" but I feel in this case that masala connoisseurs like yourself and Beth are better qualified to judge the merits of this film than I. <BR/><BR/>Not that I don't love a good rollicking masala romp - especially a Shashitabh film - but they do have a certain sameness after a while, and all I felt about this one was that there wasn't anything in particular to make it shine over any other. <BR/><BR/>You mentioned the blandess of the women, and that is for me far more than a minor weakness, as the best masala films feature heroines that are tough, gutsy, and take names. This film struck me as particularly egregious in that regard, as I recall, since it started so promisingly, with Hema Malini flinging 55-gallon drums at the thugs who were after her.Filmi Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452657736759131107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-80623131926424309112008-01-28T10:40:00.000-08:002008-01-28T10:40:00.000-08:00I meant that not in terms of girth (though, yeah, ...I meant that not in terms of girth (though, yeah, it was looks-like-Santa-suit time for Shammi) but in overall presence of bloat and fuddy-duddy-ness of his performance.

Any movie that does justice to the concept of friendship is good in my book. (It's also the movie in which I first noticed Shashi's eyelashes, and that will remain a special moment to enjoy remembering.)<BR/><BR/>My parents, who are keen to support my interest in Indian movies and ask to watch one whenever they visit, were not taken with this one - we didn't even finish it. <I>Parvarish</I>, though, they liked.
