I am so so so so SO excited to share this film with you! It’s not just Shahrukh, it’s the whole crazy melodramatic plot, and the stacked cast, and EVERYTHING.
It’s on Prime, FINALLY. Prime has it at exactly 2 hours and 29 minutes, so if you find it somewhere else, just make sure it is the same length.
It’s also 99 cents to rent, but I’m thinking you will be willing to pay 99 cents to see this film? With Shahrukh being a baby and the cast being crazy?

Okay so both of you KNOW which one is Laila’s mother. But if you were to guess without knowing, which one do you think it would be? My guess would be Amrita because she is marrying the prince and every orphan prostitute wants to believe that their true father is a prince.

Just to make sure I am following this, the 3 friends all had sex on the same night and one of them got pregnant. The three of them went off to a vacation bungalow to hide out during the end of pregnancy and the first few months of baby life. Then they gave the baby to Farida without telling her which was the mother. Then they told Farida to give the baby to an orphanage so she would get an education (?). And then the pimp stole the baby and gave it to the brothel.
