Friday WatchAlong: Suhaag (1979)! For Shashi! 3pm Chicago Time

Posted on March 18, 2022 by mredlich21

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!

Does anybody know “Duniya Meri Jeb Mein,” with Shashi and Rishi? I can’t see somebody hitch a ride behind a car without thinking of that film and cracking up.

      Hence “Suhaag,” I suppose. I do appreciate Shashi’s wtf reaction.

  What happens with Amjad is pretty satisfying, tbh. Nirupa. . . well. Like I said, nobody can talk her out of something once she’s decided on it.
