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.

Out of all the houses, Amitabh’s is definitely the dullest looking, while Shashi’s just bursting with colour and interesting things…that’s surely saying something

in real life at this time, Rishi and Amitabh did not get along at all. Adds a little something to their scenes.

    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.

    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.

        Ever since AAA they’ve been friends, so that’s just like 3 years that they didn’t get along. But this movie happened during the bad 3 years.
