Neetu's gown in the <i>Kisi pe dil agar aa jaaye</i> number is very similar to Moushumi outfit, here. Of course, Neetu being Neetu, can carry a yellow maxi to much better effect than Moushumi can. <br /><br /><b>Shalini</b>, you certainly need to fix that deficiency! Its pretty cute inspite of all the plot-holes. There are more Shashi movies in the 70s than I can ever hope to finish watching, but Mr. Romeo I <i>have</i> seen. Its a hoot, and the song you've linked to IS irresistible!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-73810316896991122302009-07-10T18:25:04.273+02:002009-07-10T18:25:04.273+02:00What a fun blog!

The movie however is not worth much, watch it only if you're a die hard Amitabh fan.

Sharmila's gowns and sarees looked gorgeous though Moushumi's came out all wrong. I liked Kabir Bedi's crazy multicolored shirts/coats and big medallion, too - he makes fugly look great. ;-)<br /><br /><b>Shell</b>, thanks! The movie is pretty good fun too, if you like crazy fashions and subdued 70s melodrama.<br /><br /><b>Nicki</b>, GoGP has Matthew McConaughey, not Ryan Reynolds (you're probably confusing it with <i>The Proposal</i> that <i>does</i> have Reynolds) and is a just about bearable sort of film (now if only they'd thought of getting Hugh Jackman for the lead - then it would have been an awesome film!). <br /><br />I loved your screencaps of Sharmila and Moushumi - they both looked too young to play Moms! And this movie is overflowing with eye-candy - so if you dont care for the story you'll stil enjoy it! ;-)<br /><br /><b>memsaab</b>, it does have more substance than mere eye candy - all the 70s standard family tropes and lots of Shashi angsting! I wonder why all movies fall over themselves trying to tell us money is bad - are they perhaps trying to console the audience (us?) that we are better off as we are?Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-43868680003576227492009-06-22T21:46:45.565+02:002009-06-22T21:46:45.565+02:00Ah this looks like excellent eye-candy timepass.
