Wow! What a great movie. I went and saw it last night with Darcy and the Health Care School. Darcy and I both love Pride & Prejudice AND we both love Hindi films. Currently, we are working through Dilto Pagal Hey - 'The Heart is Crazy'. So, this movie was a blast for us. It was really well done and I recommend it to anyone. However, it's ( Read more... )

The DVD drama carries on. The committee meets only weekly. So, I hope nothing is screwed up in the latest offering that will require me waiting another week ( Read more... )
