exactly what I intend finding out !! :laugh:

and yes khiladi, this is indeed the movie made in the seventies, 1972 actually...btw the novel itself is pretty slow and heavy reading (as are all of Hesse's works)....so I am under no illusion abt the movie itself, except for some great cinematography by Nyquist(i think).....

As per Raj Kapoor and as per Simi, the back nude shot in Mera Naam Joker was on a duplicate.

In Sidhartha, Simi's role is a small one and the picturization is at par with western picturisation of that story.
