I too am tempted by your description of it being Monty Python-esque, something I truly love.

I like quawalis myself,since I am from UP, and u really cant escape them there, even if u tried :D <BR/><BR/>The names are funnier than the actors who play them "Shahi" Kapoor indeed :)Shweta Mehrotra Gahlawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543438271055378809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-71123542888996285172008-05-07T10:41:00.000-07:002008-05-07T10:41:00.000-07:00Hey is that smooch in the poster for real?

I only heard it in long-distance buses in India and developed a special dislike for qawwalis which I have only just gotten over! <BR/><BR/>IMDB has '5 Rifles' listed as a Shashi Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna movie! Was actually on the lookout for the DVD - now I neednt bother. :-)Thanks a lot for the info!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-23772220709961084212008-05-07T08:41:00.000-07:002008-05-07T08:41:00.000-07:00This isnt serious at all.

Bollywood Monty Python??? Look-alike actors???? I must see it! <BR/><BR/>I love Veena and IS Johar too--although the only film I've seen that he directed was Nastik, which was a pretty serious (and good) movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
