NFR: Jayaprada

Hum Bhi Insaan Hain(1989)

I am in love with the "Yaar Tera" song. It is so beautiful. The picturisation makes me feel strangely sad and nostalgic. I also get a sense of déjà vu while watching it, like I've seen/heard a similar song in another movie, but I can't remember the name of either the song or the film.

I also like "Jab Ladka Sharmayega". Neelam is such a cutie. And she can look sensuous, too, as evidenced in the "Baadal Hain Barsaate Hain" song. I adore this girl. She's one of my latest obsessions :)

I haven't watched the entire movie, I've just been jumping around to certain parts. But I liked the aforementioned songs so much, I wanted to do a brief post about them.

Ninaithale Inikkum(1979)

I remember Jayaprada's overplucked brows, drug smuggling, blood cancer, a low-key weddding ceremony, touring with the band, and death. Oh, and the beauty of both Singapore and Kamal Hassan. Plus, no littering(have to pay a huge fine), "I LOVE YOU!" in three languages, Nama Ooru Singaari, and Rajni's karate moves.

Kamal was so beautiful in his youth. His looks are half the reason I'm firmly on his team. The other half is because I think he's a good actor. (Although, he does have a tendency to overact and/or chew up all the available scenery.)
