Think women have the power to make the world a better place and we dont necessary need men, like john abraham and gandhiji, for telling us (saying that with all respect). And, no, i dont see a contradiction in Zeenats love to Aamir-- love is a great engine. By the way i liked drunken Behroopiya telling Zeenat he loves her. I can perfectly see why this had to happen. <BR/><BR/>I have no idea which movie is more suitable for western audiences. But if i would be a distributor i would grab me "Dor" as fast as i can.<BR/><BR/>i showed you mine, now show me yours, chalo, whats your opinion? ;-)umanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301202767014932121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873895165308255033.post-39299539232056563752007-02-13T15:33:00.000+01:002007-02-13T15:33:00.000+01:00which one did you like more? water or dor? which m...which one did you like more? water or dor? which movie would be more suitable for a western audience?babaskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409089227879159676noreply@blogger.com
