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!

Amitabh is really not a good guy in this movie. Which I think Yash doesn’t shy away from. He is amoral, but a hardworker and smart. Shashi is moral and kind, but kind of worthless in the office. Raakhee and Hema are perfect
