just out of curiosity,

which 'Waqt' are we talking about here?! is it the amitabh-akshay kumar film which has been mentioned, or is it the yash chopra film of the 70s - the one starring balraj sahni, raaj kumar and sunil dutt?
it's something i've always wondered about with hindi films ... the issue of repeating titles. i mean, it does get confusing after a point, you know, keeping track of films which have the same name. especially if the older film also happens to be a classic, like it is in the case of 'Waqt'.

another example is 'Deewar' -
the 1970s gangster film (incidentally, also directed by yash chopra) is still remembered as one of the all-timers of hindi cinema. but then the name appeared again a couple of years ago as the title of another film, about the families of indo-pak POWs and all that.

anyway, sorry for the digression ...
