I paid a princely sum of Rs 3.05 then.<br />I watched this movie multiple times, as if addicted to it, and I can't still understand why I did it. To top it all, I watched this movie again twice in 2018 after 34 long years in YOUTUBE.<br />Believe me, it is as entertaining as ever.<br />Jai Ho !!!!!K S Narayananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395985602149098562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-8182571204539388702014-08-20T12:10:44.241+05:302014-08-20T12:10:44.241+05:30That's a great story!

In those days the video-cassette-wala used to come to his house with a bag full of video cassettes almost every other day. He would then choose from the collection. And sometimes he would ask me to pick one. As a child it used to be my happiest moment when I had the freedom to choose my own favourite film. Thanks for writing this Blog-Post. It reminded me of those golden days...<br /><br />---Raj Gaurav Debnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442209497580579909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-27345154935129632632014-08-14T11:59:55.331+05:302014-08-14T11:59:55.331+05:30Tipu: think I saw someone mention during another i...Tipu: think I saw someone mention during another internet discussion that the film was actually shot in a house in Sunder Nagar.

We used to pun it with the mango drink Maaza.<br /><br />I was thinking of Farooque Shaikh over the weekend. The occasion was watching a restored print of Shatranj Ki Khiladi. Great print, so-so trending to bad movie, but Shaikh is very funny in his small role.

I remember actually watching it in a cinema..I was all of 9 years old and your write up brought back vivid images of that day - it was a memorable day since we were sent to the cinemas by my parents to keep us away from some horrid news that they were dealing with (Union Carbide, Bhopal - enough said). This was the movie that was playing in a nearby single cinema hall and voila we were thrown into the madcap zany world of this movie. I remember loving it then, and now desperately looking for an online print.
