(And some memorable quotes from the film here, including the pathos-laden "He's got guitar phobia. A guitar killed his mother." Beats Deewaar's "Mere paas ma hai" hollow.)
In unrelated news, remember this post about the frantic rearrangement of dates of birth whenever a Bollywood celebrity approaches a milestone age like 50 or 60? Now the fudging enters brave new dimensions: not only do we find that real sisters Dimple and Simple Kapadia were born two months apart in the same year, the Wikipedia entry on Simple even cheekily informs us that she is a month and a half younger than her sister.
