Happy Sunday! I am progressing along with my massive difficult sewing project that I forgot I promised to have done by September 1, so I have earned a nice break watching Sridevi.
Nagina! It’s on Prime, it’s only 2 hours and 17 minutes, and do try to watch it on Prime because the length probably varies on different services.
At 8am I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we will all comment along from there!
dontcallitbollywood 
And PLAY! If anyone is here!

Oh lord, I could NOT understand how he could have been a love interest – it was within the first 10 Hindi movies I saw. I didn’t know who he was, but assumed he must have been extraordinarliy famous, because why else would they cast a fat old guy as a super star singer. Wait, Elvis, maybe they were going for somethinge. Elvis in sweaters.
