Oh boy! A straight up for realsies classic! Which also means that it is hard to find a good copy and they vary widely in length and quality and stuff. So, we will be watching the einthusan version, for consistancy.
In a few minutes, at 3pm Chicago time, we will all hit play on our einthusan and watch watch watch! Awesome movie, Sanjeev Kumar and Waheeda Rahman and Amitabh Bachchan and Raakhee and Hema Malini and Poonam Dhillon and SHASHI!!!! Written by Salim-Javed, directed by Yash Chopra, really you cannot do better than this.
At 3pm I will order you all “play” and then we will start commenting along right here. Woo-hoo! Yash Chopra Week!

So a weird weird thing that I have been reluctant to acknowledge, but whatever it is 2020 and world is weird, so I am going to share. My mom had the biggest crush on Sanjeev Kapoor, and my dad when young looked identical to young Shashi. You can see why I don’t even want to acknowlege this. On a separate note, my dad had a crush on Mumtaz and Neetu Singh and my mom looked very similar to young Jaya Badhuri.
