To Gabbar Singh

Just when you thought I was only going to write heavy duty political stuff, here comes something rather shallow!
Looking at this page of Indian LP covers brought back a whole gamut of memories. Particularly on certain commercial Indian movies with their silly plots, fun music and pretty faces. I’m a bit too young to have caught the Sangam or Mother India frenzy, but well remember Sholay and how popular it became in Iran during the late 70’s. Who can forget the adventures of Jai and Veeru, hired by that armless military officer in battling the evil Gabbar Singh (how long since you heard that name?) with the sultry Basanti adding an element of femininity and romance. A few years ago while driving around in a cab in Mumbai and Bollywood, I caught myself trying to sing jaan-e-jahaan subconsciously.
Hey, the DVD is on sale, maybe I should take a closer look.
