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.)

Purab Aur Paschim(1970)

I want to see this for two reasons: Saira Banu's and Barbara Lindley's horrible blonde wigs. Seriously. There's just something disturbingly fascinating about their obviously fake hair. (Yes, I need help.)

However, the more I read the plot, the more I think it might be interesting, particularly this part: "Preeti agrees to travel to India with Bharat to meet his family but only if they can return to the UK afterwards..Predictably, she has an awakening of sorts and agrees to stay, although she never renounces her miniskirt." And probably not that wig, either. Bad wig + miniskirt = worth a watch, Y/N?
