However her son Rajneesh Bharti running devotional Ashram in resort area near USA Maxico .

But I specifically liked the songs in this film, so they made that first half bearable for me. Besides which, you don't need to see 'dusted off' movies for long drawn out romances: that is one trope Hindi cinema doesn't seem to have got over yet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375273113538165146.post-50390659657610372012011-09-21T02:28:41.456-07:002011-09-21T02:28:41.456-07:00I think Vimi looked too wooden as she took the cha...I think Vimi looked too wooden as she took the character of the damsel in distress to heart- maybe it was her claim to fame and she wanted to do a really earnest job- As far as the reason you pointed out- then she shouldn't have chosen the profession she did :)<br /><br />But learnt a little bit of trivia from a member on another blog- that she died soon after- young and alone- maybe a hint there-<br /><br />As far as the songs go- yes they are wonderful- but they still didn't hold attention for me- as I am not really used to watching such old movies yet :) I am getting there- I guess after watching so many 'dusted off' movies, you would have developed quite a taste for such long drawn out romances :)Piyush Dewanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887677851148935267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375273113538165146.post-14731453805802920772011-09-20T22:57:17.063-07:002011-09-20T22:57:17.063-07:00I like Humraaz too, though I agree that the first ...I like Humraaz too, though I agree that the first part of the film - that long-drawn out romance between the Vimi and Sunil Dutt characters - got a bit too tedious. But the songs still made it tolerable. The suspense after she meets Captain Mahender again starts building up brilliantly. <br /><br />Oh, I wish this film had starred someone other than Vimmy! I thought she was so absolutely wooden and expressionless - the only time she seemed to be at ease was in her scenes with Sarika. I wonder what the problem was - was she uncomfortable with the men?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
