More handy phrases that we use here in the Gorilla’s Lament offices while watching BW films:
Shahrukh Khan Wants His Shirt Back: Said whenever an actor is wearing a see-through shirt. If you’ve seen many SRK movies, you know what I’m talking about. A common variant is Aamir Khan Wants His Hat Back.
Everybody’s Mom: Actress Farida Jalal, who often turns up as the protagonist’s mother. If the mother isn’t Farida Jalal, it’s usually Everybody’s Other Mom, Reema Lagoo.
Everybody’s Grandmother: Zohra Sehgal, about whom I waxed rhapsodic in my review of Dillagi. This time I’ll just say that she often shows up playing a grandmother, and she’s a pretty neat lady who’s led an interesting life.
Revolving Grooms: If BW movies have taught me anything, it’s that the groom in an Indian marriage can seemingly be replaced at any point in the ceremony, as long as there’s someone on hand to be appropriately noble. That should keep them on their toes.
