Friendship Special - Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge | Dharmendra | Amitabh | Sholay -HD Video | Hit Song
YouTube video by Shemaroo Filmi Gaane Friendship Special - Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge | Dharmendra | Amitabh | Sholay -HD Video | Hit Song

My earliest memory of Dharmendra was seeing him in Sholay (1975) with my parents in Manchester in the late 70s. A very sad loss.

Watched both last night, entertaining enough. First film definitely better than the second one, wish they will do a proper prequel one day.

Universality by Natasha Brown - it’s a smart read, but didn’t grip me as her debut The Assembly. I guess I’m was looking to escape reality and be reminded how dire things are at the moment.

The UK wants to emulate Denmark’s hardline asylum model – but what does it actually look like? Denmark has slashed asylum numbers by granting only short-term status and by targeting β€˜ghettoes’, which critics say has damaged the country’s values
