Asrani in Ajanabee (1974)

I loved Asrani's wardrobe in this film, his clothes outshone that of the main hero (Rajesh Khanna), his role in this was that of an art director and Painter. His wardrobe included everything from printed Shirts to colourful neckties, velvet blazers, bow ties and Huge rounded tinted sunglasses. I was lusting after every one of his clothes in this film
I love his Yellow shirt with the Navy velvet Blazer, paisley tie and Striped pants and Tinted rounded shades combo

I forgive the Fu Manchu moustache as I love the mix of patterns on the Blazer, shirt and  neck tie

Looking very suave Asrani, if there's anything I'd change it would be the shirt, it's a bit too busy for a Statement jacket like that 
I'm in love with that Hounds tooth Jacket, it reminds me very much of Tom Ford's designs for Gucci. 
Lots of love for this printed shirt, i would wear it in a heartbeat 


Yet another lovely printed shirt and I love how he kept wearing them with huge rounded sunglasses, makes me want to get one

Leena Das in Ajanabee (1974)

Leena Das one of the side characters who played Zeenat's friend in the movie barely had enough screen time but she made my head turn in the two scenes she featured in
I loved her in this orange Suit, from the flared pants to the  belted jacket
Lovely neck tie too
How very modern is that swimsuit she's in, those styles of swimsuit were hugely popular in the 90's. Hurray for 70's Bollywood fashion

Rajesh Khanna in Ajanabee (1974)

As the male lead in this very enjoyable drama I found Rajesh's wardrobe pretty uninspiring and he was outshone all through the movie by his co stars, still though there were a few things to Love
Showing his very hairy chest in a White safari suit
I love the rather groovy pattern on his Tie and shirt
My favourite of all his outfits here was this Pink tweed suit paired with a fuchsia paisley tie 
While I loved the idea of a pink tweed suit, I hated the fit of it on him, had the tailoring been more smarter this would have been a fantastic look for him
