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!

Yupp. I felt like Waheeda had the option of taking his money and she refused like a fool. So less sympathy there.

Isn’t this awesome? Amitabh appreciated Raakhee’s intelligence and morality, and Sanjeev distrusted her because of his suspicious nature, and none of this was related to her gender, it’s just about her being a really good secretary

There should be a bit in her death scene where she gives it to him and tells him to wear it and remember the promise he gave her, but I think it got cut in this version.
