At Filmi Ladies, Pitu Sultan and the Gutter’s own Beth Watkins continue their look at the superstars of Indian cinema with Shabana Azmi! “What do we say about Shabana Azmi that hasn’t been said before? Whether the movie is good, bad or ridiculous, she is always great! We watched a whopping 7 films for this episode, some parallel, some masala and she was fab in every single one. Beth watched Ankur, Lorie, Lahu Ke Do Rang, and Khoon Ki Pukaar. Pitu watched Arth, Mandi, and Swami. We discuss her nuanced acting, her emotional scenes, her restraint, innate dignity, her power to the people song from Parvarish, her chemistry with her co-stars, her beautiful hair, and her funny hat from Amar Akbar Anthony.”
