What a wonderful movie it was, and I really liked that there was no comic side plot. I couldn't stand Kalpana, though, and kept wishing for *anyone* even Asha Parekh in her place...Ruhinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-19262829646445811622011-08-15T21:09:06.553-04:002011-08-15T21:09:06.553-04:00Wowee, this is a Shammi-triple-treat!

I think I am going to indulge in a Shammi-fest of my own this week. It is the right time also, since I am off work for a week.

Yes, O...I remember cringing through Pagla Kahin Ka. Yes, OTT is the right word, and I often wondered how he felt doing it - the same way I felt embarrassed for Amitabh Bachchan when he did movies like Mrityudaata, and Lal Badshah (the first, I stopped the movie midway, the latter I endured ten minutes!). <br /><br />But Shammi Kapoor, is suave attractive and full of joy in real life too :) The Kapoors have charm!

I was re-watching Kashmir ki Kali the other day, and the scenes where he's pretending to be nuts for the benefit of Tuntun and her charges made me cringe, they were just so terribly OTT. I think his best films are the ones between 1957 and about 5 years after that - he's in his element, suave, attractive, full of joy but not a buffoon. <br /><br />But yes, he's awesome even now. :-) I adore him!dustedoffhttp://dustedoff.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-66277981854353909102011-08-11T08:06:30.461-04:002011-08-11T08:06:30.461-04:00Madhu, come into my arms....

LOL We truly are twins-separated-at-birth at heart. <br /><br />I think this was one of the last movies of Shammi Kapoor that one could seriously watch. Sad as it is to say, they made him more and more of a buffoon and an insufferable eve-teaser in some of his later movies; and his ever-burgeoning girth didn't help either. But isn't he awesome even now??Anuradha Warriernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-47186730766303267872011-08-11T02:20:51.284-04:002011-08-11T02:20:51.284-04:00Oh, lord.

And I had more or less the same feelings about this film as you did. Shammi Kapoor is total eye candy, and proves that he is more than merely awesome to look at. And those last ten minutes are awful. But still, it's my favourite Shammi Kapoor film! Love it. :-)dustedoffhttp://dustedoff.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
