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!

Margaret- I was looking up the cast of Tezaab and it said Salman Khan plays someone named Rookki in it. Salman isn’t in this movie right???

Not that I remember! It was so early in his career though, some other actor could be using the name.

That’s what I was thinking. Although Salman might have also been open to doing weird stuff since this was even before Biwi Ho to Aisi. I am now curious if I can see him in here.

I’ve decided the background music was deemed more important than dialogue by the director, because sometimes I can hardly hear the actors speaking. Or perhaps the youtube sound is messed up.

Okay, you know how this movie is a remake of Streets of Fire and then was remade as Varsham in Telugu, and then Varsham was remade back to Hindi as Baaghi? In every version except Baaghi (where they ended after she is rescued), this Travel Song is the best song in the movie. Don’t know why, but it always is.

I just did this little exercie where I tried to come up with flash back images of Spouse like they do in the movies with Madhuri & Anil, and I realized coming up with pictures of him in my mind is hard, but I can do it. His goofy teeth before they got fixed in college. His little sould patch when I got back from Europe, him teaching the kids how to fish. But I have NO IMAGES from our actual marriage. I guess I was too busy to notice him that day.
