Happy Shashi Day! I am supposed to be off work early on Fridays, but I had to cover for co-workers so I ended up working until just now. I am sooooooooooo happy to be off work and goofing off with y’all instead.
Suhaag! It’s in different places all over the world! In America, it’s for rent on youtube. In Australia, apparently it is on Prime. And in Europe, it might be free on youtube? Anyway, Suhaag! 1979! With Shashi and Amitabh!
At 3pm Chicago time I will put up an “and Play” comment and we will all comment along from there, yaaaaaay!

Always so embarrassing when you start beating up somebody immediately upon meeting them without first checking that they are, in fact, the person you came to beat up. smh

My version of the movie is way scratched during this song, which I think means the reel was played over and over again because the crowds loved this part.
