Shashi Kapoor/Sharmlia starer AA GALEY LAG Jaa has embarrassingly haunted me to this day. particularly because of its popular songs and for the film being shot in Shimla where I grew up.
This happened to be the only movie I ever saw by bunking the school. Not that I had soundest of principles but because I had no guts. Peer pressure worked one day and I did not return to class after lunch and went instead straight to Ritz cinema on Ridge with a friend. All was fine till interval when I suddenly saw my mother with her friends sitting couple of rows behind. I prayed to be turned invisible. I shivered.
Returning home I was given enough embarrassing taunts by parents and my siblings which haunt me to this day. It's difficult to listen to the songs of this beautiful film even 35 years after without feeling a twitch all over.
