  And one we all saw coming! Again, like the Amitabh movie I can’t think the name of where the mom faints because she sees the guy who acts like a friend kills her husband. And throughout the movie the bad guy plays an old man who is a confidant and politician and a bad gangster.

  Now, speaking of ’70s films, I always wished “Kaala Patthar” had this kind of ending. It’s nice that the guru made the truck work or w/e, but they had, like, two hundred people standing there at the mine entrance. Wouldn’t it have been so stirring if they had all just held onto the rope and pulled? Anyway.
