The hindi movie industry has come a long way from alam ara ( the first talkative movie)... many directors,actors,actresses,singers,musicians etc have proved their talents consistently. well since it is a huge topic to b discussed, i rather prefer to write abt things that fascinate me and my own perceptive.
i loved the way mughal-e-azam was shot and its music.. i mean the way the sets were constructed, the jewellery and the songs were mindblowing..! the way madhubala danced for "pyaar kiya to darna kya" was mesmerizing... loved the shot when she says ( pointing at akbar , well potrayed by prithviraj kapoor) ab bandon se darna kya ! ...mashallahhh !!!
Loved all item numbers by HELEN !! wow.. she had the oomoh and cutzpah of rocking the screen... be it mehbooba mehbooba, aa jaane ja, yeh mera dil or monica .... she was awesome..!! her clothes were a step ahead of their times and she carried it off with elan...!!
the haunting,slow and fast music ( in short retro music) has its own charm..... be it aayega aanewala,mera saaya,om shanti om, waada raha sanam,kitna pyara wada etc... were like a soothing balm to ur senses....
the couples in bollywood had a sizzling chemistry ( hard to find it these days) examples: neetu--rishi, amitabh--rekha,rishi-dimple etc ... these couples were usually only for reel... but i would have loved to see amitabh and rekha together..
moving to the present.. we find very hyped and no substance movies.. i was lured and duped when i saw saawariya.. i mean common i didnt get my money's worth ( it would have been worthwhile if i saw ranbir fullly nude lol).. the most trashiest and certainly not expected from sanjay leela bansali... TASHAN... god plz forgive our sins when we actually saw the movie(or anyone who evn thought abt it).. awesome publicity campaign.. but no damnn story
We literally have to leave behind our brains @ home when we step in the threshold of a theatre (oops i mean multiplex,theatre is so passe)... but yes we shdnt forget out wallets for the $2 worth coke... this is price discrimination !!!
Loved the movie BLACK and taare zameen par.. i actually could relate to the characters and their apathy..!! wow.. that was hard hitting..!! i cried copiously thru the movie...
i just love shahrukh.. he is cute and hot but his movies goddamn it make no fucking sense.
i mean take kuch kuch hota hai... his line " pyaar ek baar hota hain,shaadi bhi ek baar hoti hain " so ba****** why did u love and marry twice?? huh??
next we see kal ho naa ho.. which is hailed as a innovative movie because it introduces homosexuality to indians.. ( aint we familiar here mr.johar??) .. i mean that movie was a mockery @ times to different situational crisis. !
well.. cant think of a specific movie now to bitch..( there are toooo manby to cchoose from)..
am sure the producers are saving a lot in the costume dept. the ladies get skimpy or fab inida stuff to wear(so they feel the character lol) and the men appear to be wearing their own stuff..
the Toast of the season these days are the low budgeted movies targetted at the multiplex junta.. i mean the movies a wednesday,the president is coming,dasvidaniya etc were actually path breaking,thought provoking and sensible..
when will other producers and directors wake up and realise that the audience have matured and evolved..we dont want see actors running around (ooty) trees, or crying (thanks to glycerine) etc... we want them to be real characters.. to which we can relate to etc...
and one advice, cut the publicity rumours and the crappy stuff..!! stop projecting ur lead actors in an false affair(which they deny hoarsely) just to pull audience in theatre..
FUCK u .. i am not paying 160 rupees to see a trash movie in a multiplex..i can download it and just fast forward watch it..hell with piracy laws etc...
well these was a quick take on bollywood..
plz post comments and views.. also suggestions for the next blog topic..
kudos,sayonara, hasta la vista
je taime.. ANU !
