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.

in real life at this time, Rishi and Amitabh did not get along at all. Adds a little something to their scenes.
LikeLike
Do tell, why?
LikeLike
Because Rishi was a little brat, basically. Amitabh took his work really seriously, rehearsed and practiced and all that. Rishi showed up late and sometimes drunk, or sometimes just didn’t “feel like acting” or whatever. Really, I’m on Amitabh’s side here.

Why?
LikeLike
Different personalities, ages. Amitabh was serious and hardworking, Rishi was a little spoiled. A few years after this they worked on Amar Akbar Anthony together and became good friends, just had to find a way to meet in the middle.
