Enjoyed it thoroughly.<br /><br />After a long while, daughter and I sat together and watched yesteryear heartthrobs, Shashi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore in a not-so-regular romance, "Aa gale lag jaa." Though entertaining with hit songs, it also made me realise the melodrama of the films of those days! For instance, why should a lady supposedly taken to a sanatorium to rest on account of her ill-health, pick up a baby and run full speed with it, in the hope of finding out the truth of its parentage! Surely there were easier ways, but then else how would the Director succeed in bumping off the aforementioned Sulochana, in one more of her tragic cameos! <br /><br />I am not sure whether medical science would approve of this good doctor's unorthodox methods! Ever heard of a child afflicted with polio, being pumped with some injections and then slapped till kingdom-come? Objective of this method- intense fear will make the child start using his legs in seconds!! <br /><br />I can't explain why I have got hooked to IPL this year after ignoring it completely in 2011! <br /><br />I don't get MGM on Big TV but hope i can get to see "Tom Sawyer" in one of the other channels. He and Huck Finn are certainly favourite fictional characters from my school days.<br /><br />Keep writing!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720172018631466736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32764131.post-28362434482076786692012-04-09T00:58:28.637-07:002012-04-09T00:58:28.637-07:00Murali--thanks .Those eighties comedies--so sweet ...Murali--thanks .Those eighties comedies--so sweet and charming and intelligent, really.<br /><br />Unintelligent current stuff includes the unofficial Indian version of Bruce Almighty --God tussi great ho (starring Salman Khan); watched a few scenes on tv and quickly switched off.Have not seen Knock Out (2010--imdb info)--the unofficial Indian version of a terrific Hollly thriller Phone booth--something Sudha and i enjoyed on tv, couple of years back.lalsubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644970512067728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32764131.post-80345199786454107322012-04-08T23:48:11.825-07:002012-04-08T23:48:11.825-07:00Really enjoyed this post!

A few points: Early 80's actors Farookh Sheikh, Deepti Naval, Naseeruddin Shah (like in films like Katha) really takes one back on a trip down memory lane! Also, that film Rascals sounds terrible! When is Bollywood going to stop making bad remakes of Hollywood classics??? I suppose never.Muralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983955697943509414noreply@blogger.com
