Actually Aruna Irani had a huge career as an action star in the Gujarati Film industry - huge draw - called the "Female Amitabh Bacchan" in the 70s and 80s. That was in parallel to her roles in Hindi Films. Its a pity, she more than managed to upstage the leading ladies when she got a chance like in Caravan etc.Srinivasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-11742222775257654912009-07-31T00:27:20.027-07:002009-07-31T00:27:20.027-07:00*shrug**shrug*houseinrlyeh aka Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548069611516508274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-14466884860677195322009-07-30T21:33:09.431-07:002009-07-30T21:33:09.431-07:00*sigh**sigh*Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-14852697692846387202009-07-30T18:13:17.123-07:002009-07-30T18:13:17.123-07:00JAGDEEP IS AWESOMEJAGDEEP IS AWESOMEmemsaabhttp://memsaabstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-28641049727504889152009-07-29T07:16:17.927-07:002009-07-29T07:16:17.927-07:00Yeah, there's little that beats a sharpshootin...Yeah, there's little that beats a sharpshooting dog for sheer entertainment value. India's domestic animals seem to be a fearsome lot.

I mean, I've always enjoyed her, but I guess I just had more of a soft spot for her than I thought. Plus, she just makes for a very charming, butt-kicking action heroine here. I'm hoping that maybe we're going to find that, like Helen, she had a "hidden" career as a B movie leading lady. (BTW, Anil Dhawan tops the credits in this movie, which is a joke, since he barely gets a third of the screen time of either Jyothi or Aruna.)<br /><br />BTW, I think that Memsaab will also like this one because Jagdeep gets to be at the center of a comedic subplot that is so unrelated to the main plot that, whenever it comes up, it feels like we've been dropped into the middle of an entirely different movie.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-2586903526373615872009-07-28T18:14:11.887-07:002009-07-28T18:14:11.887-07:00I must have it!

The fashions alone make me want it, plus Greta and I can both appreciate a movie about a woman and her trusty canine sidekick, even if our own trusty canine sidekicks might not be quite so useful in a fight.<br /><br />I too am delighted by Aruna getting a proper role. Though I'm not exactly sure why, I love her, and the idea of her getting a happy ending is so very appealing!Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-86735107500503327982009-07-28T14:16:36.692-07:002009-07-28T14:16:36.692-07:00Well, I'm telling you that you see the image o...Well, I'm telling you that you see the image of the dog with the revolver that I posted above, accompanied by a "bang" sound effect, after which you see Shetty clutching his chest and falling to the ground.
