A pl...Yes, Shalini and I were discussing just that! A platonic 16 years is never implied. Yet, nowhere does she consider herself "impure" or unworthy of a new relationship. Also she is clearly in her mid to late thirties (she was an adult 16 years ago!) - so not only does she get to have a life at that age with romance (and Dharmendra) thrown in, she also gives no intimation of being moved by <i>maa ki mamta</i> toward her niece. A very unusual Bollywood heroine even by today's standards! Its too bad Meena Kumari was too drink-ravaged to make a bigger impact, here.<br /><br />I do NOT make the films sound better than they are - I just suspend disbelief better than you do! <i>Filmi</i>-logic does deserve writing up, but I dont think a single post can do it justice - its simply too vast a field for that.Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-28175443633157407412009-08-14T12:23:15.323+02:002009-08-14T12:23:15.323+02:00Oh poor Subodh! 16 years of love and then she forg...Oh poor Subodh! 16 years of love and then she forgets it all? By the way, do you realise this is a 'different' movie in the sense that a woman is actually allowed to fall in love with a guy after living with another in 'sin'! Oh, or did they have a 'pure' and platonic relationship for all this time? <br /><br />And yes, I do enjoy the 'logicless' Bollywood films but your reviews generally make them sound more interesting and logical and the 'whys' 'whats' and 'hows' just pop up.<br /><br />Maybe you should write a post on filmi logic?Ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844831404496051624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-86458191880185222712009-08-14T02:59:00.398+02:002009-08-14T02:59:00.398+02:00A question of logic?

If you want to enjoy Bollywood films (and I know you do!) you need to suppress this ridiculous desire to find logic in films. Or at least take a course in <i>filmi</i>-logic. <br /><br />As to Subodh's motives for claiming Radha as his wife - they were completely romantic and not at all mercenary. Makes change from mercenary villains or plain obsessed ones!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-3598233132617074672009-08-14T01:02:47.995+02:002009-08-14T01:02:47.995+02:00Hey thanks for the 'spoiler'!

He was hopelessly in love with her? Or was it her property he wanted?Ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844831404496051624noreply@blogger.com
