How I learned a lot from an error

 Sandhya Shantaram

No Subtitles

When I begun buying Hindi movies from eBay, I thought I had got a bargain with this disc, three films on one disc, "what a find" I thought.

When it arrived, I found out that discs with three films have no room for subtitles.

I am able to buy the films, with subtitles, if I wish. However, one film I decided not to buy as it is too expensive for the cast involved, to my taste.

The two films I am getting are Sehra, and Navrang, both feature Sandhya Shantaram, who was the producer's wife - she is a good actress - who died this week. Sehra also featutes another of my Bollywood favourite actresses, Lalita Pawar. Unfortunately, it aslo has Mumtaz Askari in, and I am not a fan of the younger lady.

Navrang is a film shared by Sandhya Shantaram, along with another actress who appears in Pinjara, Vatsala Deshmukh. I have seen Ms. Deshmukh in other films, such as Suhaag with Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, and Nirupa Roy. Pinjara is the movie I am not getting, the lowest price I have seen is £24.00, way too high for a film in my books, especially when the lead is a little-known actress
