Over three decades later Subhash Ghai would incorporate most of these elements in his “Choli ke Peeche Kya Hai”, but nothing renders this Guru Dutt classic superfluous.
Thanks for the shout, appreciate it — although I only listed eleven videos…
you’re welcome. enjoyed the post. were you selecting a cricket team of videos?

The truth is more mundane — I was at work, and an emergency interrupted before I could get to 15!
