Simi Garewal in Chalte Chalte (1976)

Simi Garewal in Chalte Chalte (1976)

Rounding off my post on 'Chalte Chalte' is Simi Garewal. I found Simi incredibly chic and beautiful in this (albeit beautiful in a rather unconventional way for a bollywood heroine). As much as I loved her fashion choices in this, i felt they lacked variety for a leading heroine but she still looked fab

She starts the movie in this knitted short sleeve top paired with a lovely waist cinching belt and an eye popping statement necklace with white flared pants, I truly loved this look on her

A truly fab look, I love it!!!

 Next up was Simi in a lovely embellished chiffon Pink sari with complimenting pink accessories and a neat bobbed hair do in the now Iconic 'Chalte chalte' song

 Next up was Simi in a floral Sari, one very similar to what Zeenat wore in Ajnabee, the only difference here is in the colour and Simi's blouse is sleeveless

Forget the Hermès Kelly handbag disguising as Bagwati in the 2011 film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, that white handbag in the right hand corner of the picture above is hindi cinema's bagwati, I've spotted it so many times in numerous hindi films from the 60's and 70's

Love the art direction going on in all the pictures above, that sofa as well as the wall designs and lamp shades 

 and below is a comparison of both ladies in the sari's, Who wore it best in your opinion

The rest of her fashion choices in the rest of the movie after the scene with the blue sari was rather uninspiring, first up was this lacy night gown which she wore in the 'door door tum rahe' song

See more of the outfit in the video below

 next up was a white bell sleeved seventies style dress

See more of this dress in the video below

 Next up was a sari with a rather interesting aztec patterns on the border

And that rounds up the styling of Chalte Chalte, while I was impressed with some of Simi's style here, the rest left me uninspired,  but i guess a lot of that has to do with the manic transition her character 'Gita' goes through in the movie, which you can read over on my other blog here


 The movie credits Bhanu Athaiya, Mani Rabadi and Stylo with the Costumes, Vasant for the make up Jeet Khurana with Ashalata for Hair Styles  and G.S. Bhosle for the wardrobe

Zeenat Aman in Ajanabee (1974)

The Queen Bee finally arrives as she had the most screen time to display lots of fabulous fashions in this cute bollywood drama. Zeenat Aman simply looked gorgeous in this film from boldly printed neon sari's, to puffy blouses, of all the cast in this movie she undoubtedly had the best wardrobe, so off we go then

Zeenat's character as Reshmi is introduced  in this bold printed Shirt and knitted beret combo with white flared trousers

next up was this puffy sleeved blouse paired with polka dot bottoms and a matching polka dot bow tie

This blouse is tres chic, i loved her in it

Loved her in this yellow shirt with contrast Ikat print collar and cuffs 

In yet another similar outfit but with huge yellow beads, her make up was mostly fresh faced, accentuated with rose blusher and soft pink lips 

Lovely printed tie blouse with a rather interesting pair of flared trousers, I'm not so sure of the panty  line stitching but somehow it works

Here she is a lovely knitted short sleeve cardigan with a pair of jazzy printed pants

In a lovely pink wrap top and floral printed palazzo pants

Loving the 90's Versace-esque outfit the girl on the left is wearing (majorly fab)the lady on the right isn't looking shabby either

She took part in a fashion show in the movie wearing a gorgeous wrap crop top and a white floor length skirt with black stripes, see funky 70's bollywood outfits  in the video clip from the movie below

Zeenat also wore some lovely eye popping floral saris in breath taking neon shades and  colours

J'adore!! I absolutely loved her in this Neon pink floral sari and flat sandals, she looked great

In yet another lovely printed sari

I love the way she wraps them over her body, lovely chiffon sari as usual

Now that's a fantastic floral print chiffon sari, I want a shirt in that exact fabric

Loved her in this white Churidar kameez ensemble

Lovely hairdo and just as fab complementary make up, check out those perfectly lined eyes

See more of Zeenat and her lovely outfit in the music video below


And this dear readers rounds up the fabulous fashions of the lovely bollywood movie Ajanabee(Stranger), which as you can tell from my screen caps shows how much i enjoyed it. Great job  by the costume designers Mani Rabadi, Vasant Chayan and the Spencer Sister's who were credited with conducting the fashion show which I included above.
