Kinara(1977)

This is not the month to be me. First the dubbed Tamil version of Prema Pustakam was aired a few days ago on Vijay TV(which I don't have), and now, thanks to a post in this thread, I develop an interest in Kinara only to discover that it's not available on even VCD. As soon as I started watching this video, I didn't care what it was about, I just wanted to hunt down a copy. (BTW, a YouTube poster explained that the plot revolves around "...a [dancer] who maintains her craft despite being blind...") Apparently, it is--or rather, was--available on home video(I say "was" because I didn't see it listed in Bombino's VHS section). And I don't have Zee TV, either, so there's no chance of catching it during a re-air. **sigh**

More YouTube vids: "Jaane Kya Sochkar Nahin Guzra"(I'm guessing it was sourced from a Shemaroo compilation disc), "Meethe Bol Bole", "Koi Nahin Hai Kahin"

P.S. I even checked Induna and Moserbaer and came up with nada.

Aadmi Aur Insaan(1969)

I saw this in Nehaflix's "Back in stock" section and was immediately tempted to order it solely because I find Saira Banu so fascinatingly odd-looking. Dark hair suits her, and red is definitely her color, as seen from 1:40 - 2:55 of "O Neele Parbaton Ki". In the green outfit, she reminds me of Hema Malini for some strange reason. I think it's the bangs and the eyeliner.

I'm not a fan of either Dharmendra or Mumtaz, but I'm willing to give both of them a pass because A) I found Dharmendra hot in that "older gentleman" way in Johnny Gadar(which reminds me, I need to fish it out from wherever and try to watch it again) and B) Mumtaz looks totally smokin' in the "Zindagi Ittefaq Hai" song. (Isn't that also the title of a movie?)

I skimmed the plot summary and it sounds like the usual melodrama. I might like it. And it might just collect dust on my shelf. The thing about impulse buys is that I rarely watch them more than once. If only I had been conceived during the late eighties or early nineties. I probably wouldn't know anything about buying DVDs because I would simply download movies from torrent sites. (I'm generalizing, I know, but...work with me.)

Johnny Gadar(2007)

Why did I get this movie again? Was it because I thought Neil Nitin Mukesh was kinda cute? Or that the plot sounded interesting? Or that it looked like it might be good based on a quick look-see online? I believe it was for all three of those reasons, but last night, as I tried to watch it for the third or fourth time, I found myself regretting my purchase and making a mental note to never order another Hindi movie again. (I kid, I kid(but not really).) I just couldn't get into it. The cinematography was nice, I liked the opening credits, and Dharmendra looked hot(age suits him, because I didn't think he was all that in his youth), but aside from that, I wasn't impressed. Perhaps if I hunt down and read a spoilerific review or two, I'll feel more inclined to see what happens for myself.

I should've actually watched it online instead of just skimming through it. I probably would've saved myself $14. Oh, well. I'll make another attempt to watch it, just to keep my money from going to waste.
