Old telugu actress Jamuna garu in Hindi movies

Just watched a bit of Dharmendra's movie, "naukar biwi ka".

Jamuna garu played Dharam ji's mother, she is really good, did her own dubbing in hindi, amazing hindi fluency. 

how to copy 80s Hindi movie and remake it as "ghajini"

1980's movie called, "Pasand Apni Apni", directed by Basu Chatterjee,

Actors, the great Utpal dutt, Mithun Chakraborthy, Rati Agnihotri.

I felt so sad that A. Murugudas copied the entire story, including dialogues, screenplay, translated to Tamil and remade it as the 1st half of Ghajini, I cant comment on the 2nd half.

Its a pity that this Tamil movie was remade into Hindi, how strange. 

Ryan's new language skill

I have started teaching Ryan on Telugu writing, a year ago, his 2 months holidays in India helped him learn to talk telugu, mostly a different dialect that my inlaws speak.

Upon my inlaws advice, i started speaking to him in telugu since feb 2019, i think Ryan has been slowly registering the words in his dictionary.

Now he is back from holidays, he is showing all his learnings, he is reading telugu books with a bit of help from me though, i felt incredibly happy, that's the fruit of my labor.

I am proud to say that I am his first Teacher, we both have been reading hundreds of books since he was 2yrs, i know this will help him a lot in future.
