Woh 7 Din

It’s by chance that I sat down to watch an old Hindi movie, Woh 7 Din, starring Naseerudin Shah, Anil Kapoor and Padmini Kohlapure. I didn’t expect to be so involved with the movie but watch it and you’ll know what I mean. The movie has nothing of today’s type of cinema – cheesy dialogues, ethereal music, visual effects; dazzling costumes by the best fashion designers, brilliant sets for dancing, foreign locations for songs, and not even the top stars who represent the Who’s who of Bollywood. In fact, the hero starring Anil Kapoor made his debut through this simple love story that has lots of family drama and very little glamor.
