Happy Saturday! February is hitting me like a ton of bricks this week, so I am VERY happy to have a nice fun silly movie to watch on Saturday morning. Either through youtube (if you use a VPN, or live in Europe), or einthusan for the rest of us.
Woot! Rajkumar! I love love LOVE this movie. It is insane and entertaining in just the best of all possible ways. Oh, and it’s a Danny Denzongpa movie! And it’s his birthday today! So I would want to watch either this of Khuda Gawah and I guess we will save Khuda Gawah for next year.
At 7:30am Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we will all comment along from there. And inevitably we will get off from each other because there is a 6 minute difference between einthusan and youtube. Oh well.

The tactic of the entire movie was going back and forth from one capital city to the other. (Or maybe capital forest encampment, in Anil’s kingdom’s case.)
