You should start watching those.

One who believes in living, breathing, sleeping one film at a time. So as of now its only Housefull.
Majid: from the 80's films Acting wise, whom do you prefer - Mithunda, Rajnikant or Jeetendra.
Sajid Khan : Majid, out of all the questions throughout this chat this is the Best Question anyone has asked me.
