First, NOTE THE TIME CHANGE!!!! 4pm!!!!! I had a last minute chance to get together with a friend this afternoon and I couldn’t pass it up. So I moved watchalong an hour. If I run even longer than that (stuck in traffic, whatever), just wait for me to say “And PLAY”.
Ghungroo!!!! Shashi!!!! And period costumes! And Waheedaji!!!! And Smita Patil!!!! And it’s on einthusan.
At 4pm (or a little later if I am running late), I will put up an “And PLAY” comment. And then we play! And then we are happy!

Ah, I felt like I was struggling to describe it when I first mentioned it the other day, and that is exactly what makes this movie so appealing to me! The first half is a tragedy, the second half is What We All Want. Well, except for Suresh ) :
