A Movie in two sessions: SILSILA

The movie for yesterday evening was SILSILA, Yash Chopra's over-poetic paean to the Amitabh-Rekha affair. Since we started late we had to abort the film, although there isn't much left. This was the first time Harish was watching it at a stretch, and although the songs (most of them) are appealing, the poetry, the colour and the blatant subtelty got to him after a while. There are a lot of memorable lines in the film, but packaging chocolate nuggets in a haystack does a lot to deter the eager child.
