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!

Stupid Ma signed over all the property to Prem Chopra because he told her it would be a good idea. And then she lost the piece of paper Prem Chopra signed promising to give teh property back to Rishi when he grew up. Ma is terrible at everything.

I am constantly amazed by the lack of stuff in movie houses. My own house is cluttered with books and toys and musical instruments and more books, and the walls are covered in photos. These palaces have a wardrobe, a chair, a desk. All is plain on the screen, but so plain that I think there is some truth to it. The Indian wealthy don’t have stuff.

Based on my minimal experience, there’s a lot of focus on stuff that can be cleaned with water easily because it’s such a dusty buggy place, and everything is always open to the elements.
