It’s Shabana Azmi’s birthday weekend! Which means we have every genre and era of film available to us!
Signature Move
Available for rent, I haven’t seen it myself but I’m curious, it’s a Chicago set Lesbian romance set in the world of Mexican wrestling with a Pakistani-American heroine whose mother is played by Shabana. Based on ALL of that, I really wanna watch it.
Fakira
I also haven’t seen this, but it’s 1970s and has Shashi in it.
Madame Sousatzka
Also haven’t seen this, but it’s Twiggy, Shabana Azmi, and Shirley Maclaine!

Didn’t we do Fakira? I remember posting about the light clapping.

I had a similar feeling when I saw the Shashi stills, but I feel like I would have remembered more?

No, because it’s a weirdly unmemorable movie despite a few memorable moments (bed breaking scene, light clapping scene, Shashi’s shirts, the Diabolik lair).

I vote Fakira since the possibility if me having access by einthusan or youtube is greater than the other two

Yes, we did watch “Fakira,” just about exactly a year ago ( ; https://dontcallitbollywood.com/2021/09/17/friday-watchalong-fakira-for-shabana-i-havent-seen-it-so-it-better-be-happy-starting-at-3pm-chicago-time/
I can do either day and haven’t seen either of the others.

So I just read through all our comments, and I still barely remember the movie. But I do remember learning from you that cattle fences were made differently in different areas! I remembered our little conversation more than the film.

Madame souzatska – I saw it in theaters when it first released! I recall thinking Shabhana was so beautiful back then (still is of course), but my supposedly-progressive white hetero male friends who came with us thought that she looked like a man! Such a sign of the times – how narrow Western beauty standards used to be back then!
