The songs and visuals are certainly a treat and for the only time in the Shashi-Nanda pairing, she does look glamorous.Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-59714528334962406622008-06-16T16:44:00.000+02:002008-06-16T16:44:00.000+02:00Me three!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to be so late to the discussion, but isn't it just great to 1) revel in Shashi-licious moments and 2) share your joy with other like-minded souls? :)<BR/><BR/>I just bought this. I'm sure I'll find it completely irritating, but like others, I'll watch anything with Shashi in it these days, especially from the 60s.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-43546208110968451412008-05-08T15:30:00.000+02:002008-05-08T15:30:00.000+02:00Me too!!!!!!!

Sweet it aint. Shashi Kapoor...PPCC, kooky is right. Sweet it aint. Shashi Kapoor pulled off playing the ingenuous simpleton in Jab Jab Phool Khile through good acting and loads of puppy fat. In this movie he looks too suave and sophisticated to be the simple, lost soul and his insistence on sounding like Raj Kapoor is irritating (I found Raj Kapoor's tramp absolutely unbearable, too). But then again - its Shashi looking beautiful and doing the romance thing. Can watch any crap with an incentive like that! :-) And yes, Affoo Khudaya was pretty good, too. Cant say I remember much about Mujhse Mera Naam na poocho - clearly need to rewatch.<BR/><BR/>Memsaab, Pyar Kiye Ja songs have some awesome gyrations, especially "Kehne ki nahin baat". I had to rewind and watch it several times before I could get on with the movie!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-72052134411811183592008-05-07T16:34:00.000+02:002008-05-07T16:34:00.000+02:00Pyar Kiye Jaa contains some incredible Shashi gyra...Pyar Kiye Jaa contains some incredible Shashi gyrations too.<BR/><BR/>This one is in my Nehaflix shopping cart :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-10988650565631006542008-05-07T08:44:00.000+02:002008-05-07T08:44:00.000+02:00OMG this movie sounds FAB!

Anyway, I'll get this into my hot little hands soon - I think I saw it at my resident DVDwala's the other day.<BR/><BR/>Have to agree/disagree on some points though:<BR/>1. Agreed. Will watch Shashi in any crap movie. The PPCC is severely in Shashiville at the moment.<BR/>2. Agreed. Shashi is a crap dancer, but this, like his rotting teeth, is just another one of his charming imperfections. (That said, I think his dancing is absolutely adorable in Afoo Huddah from JJPK. Apologies for the spelling. And his body language is divine in Mujhse Mera Naam Na Puucho from Chor Sipahee.)a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-43451348454229419812008-05-07T07:45:00.000+02:002008-05-07T07:45:00.000+02:00Thats so true Shweta.

Just wish he didnt have to earn his money in soooooo many of them. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link Memsaab. Sounds like Raja Saab is making an entry in blogland! For the record let me say that I disagree with your view that Shashi couldnt dance. For the 60's he wasnt a bad dancer at all, and his energy and charm sure as hell hid any defective dancing skills! ;-)Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-80008870879435246182008-05-06T19:34:00.000+02:002008-05-06T19:34:00.000+02:00What timing! see here :-)http://partiessareesandme...What timing! see here :-)<BR/><BR/>http://partiessareesandmelodies.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>I can watch Shashi in just about anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-46235654716027146802008-05-06T08:21:00.000+02:002008-05-06T08:21:00.000+02:00This sounds like one of the ghastly movies that Sh...This sounds like one of the ghastly movies that Shashi sometimes did- oh well, everyone needs to make money..:) Thanks for the fair warning- will steer clear if I come across it!Shweta Mehrotra Gahlawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543438271055378809noreply@blogger.com
