June 17 movie: Bombay 405 Miles. This was described as a mediocre movie with a killer soundtrack, and that's pretty much accurate. The music by Kalyanji/Anandji did indeed kick ass. It was amusing to see how many actors we recognized, even though we haven't seen that many 70s Bollywood movies. The stars were Zeenat Aman (my Bollywood girlfriend, who sadly has little to do here), Pran, the guy who starred in Qurbani, and some other guy. The villain was the bad cop from Qurbani. The movie also featured DSP-saab from Don, and Mac Mohan, and the girl who does the first dance number and then gets killed in Don also has a small part. There must have been a small group of actors who appeared in movies together over and over.
I really like Pran. I put his movie Half Ticket (also starring famed playback singer Kishor Kumar) in my queue.
