Oh boy! This is such an insane movie! And, it’s an excuse for me to stay inside with the nice a/c while it is muggy and yucky outside.
Tezaab! Madhuri’s big break film, crazy plot, great songs, big hair, everything good. I will be watching with my DVD, old school. You can watch on youtube or einthusan or where ever.

At 11am Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we will all comment along from there!

I just looked it up. The younger brother was involved in the robbery but Anupam also took a loan from him and told him that he couldn’t repay the loan because Madhuri refused to dance and earn money because of Anil. Hence he went after Anil’s sister.
