Friday WatchAlong, Kabhi Kabhie! Right Here at 3pm Chicago Time!

Posted on August 21, 2020 by mredlich21

Yaaaaay, Kabhi Kabhie! Shashi Kapoor being AWESOME, Raakhee being pretty good, everyone else being shades of terrible culminating in truly terrible Amitabh. The snark should be strong in us.

Kabhi Kabhie! Watch on Amazon Prime, or youtube, or googleplay, or DVD starting at 3pm Chicago time.

I will start the comments off at 3pm, and then you all pile on after me, right here.

Is there a real life Kapoor with a Pinky nickname? Or is that Hrithik’s sister?

Okay! Rishi quote: “We shot for it in 1974-1975 and that was the time my romance with Neetu started budding”. So they were either newly dating, about to start dating, or 6 months into a relationship, whatever he means by “budding” and “1974-75”

  Thanks to trying to figure out if he was dating Neetu, I just skimmed the section of Rishi’s book about this movie. He didn’t want the role, thought it would come second to the other leads, but Shashi leaned on him and played the “I am older than you and know better” card, so he agreed.

Shashi and Rishi, in real life uncle and nephew and Shashi is the one who convinced him to take this role. But also, only 14 year age difference between them and Shashi played Neetu’s love interest in other movies.
