Musings of a writer mom from Bollywood
After a long time I watched a Bollywood movie that made me want to go right back and watch it all over again – all 210 minutes of it. I’m a romantic at heart and such a beautiful, tender and sensual portrayal of romance is rare to find on the Bollywood screen. What I liked […]
