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!

This movie is much more Amitabh than Sashi. In fact, I hate to admit it, but Sashi isn’t very good. Amitabh however – this might be the first movie I’ve actually really LIKED him in. Maybe I have a soft spot for drunks.
