hindi movies r changing for the better.....but yeah.....rijaaz, there sure is a lotta crap being made too.....whenever theres someone who does something new, theres a whole lotta 'filmmakers' who cash in on the idea..... hahk started a trend thats finally dead (thankfully).... dil chahta hai...everyones making a youth-oriented film these days....but one wudnt calll them 'films'.....they suck.. then came the 'bold' stuff.......not even one of em is close to aesthetic. all sleazy stuff.....wonder when theyll stop.
Yeah Dude.. Couldn't agree with you more man..and also abt the Matrix..till reloaded, it was goin really good...but revolutions was a what we call in the hotel line, a trimmings dish, something like chop suey, takin stuff that's left over, puttin it together and makin somethin outta it..so there.. What puts me off abt hindi movies is the melodrama..and the obvious story lines, I mean..what's the use of makin a movie like Aitraaz(Disclosure rip-off) if you don't leave NEthing to the intelligence of the movie-goer, then again, it's not for us intellectuals that they're makin these movies..it's for the crowds..the Gaiety, Galaxy, Minerva crowd eh?? Yeah Seven was classy..Mulholland Drive, pls somebody exlain to me, what it is this Mulholland Drive(MTV lift man style!!)..for the downright hilarious movies, Road Trip gets a nod, Ace Ventura series, Will Smith... Dammm...I forgot one of my favourites..As Good as it Gets Ok..there are many more man..but before I take off again on one of my tangents, I'll sign out.. Cheerio Menon
Following are my fav... DDLJ, Dil Chahta Hai, RHTDM, Mitr - My Friend, Rockford, Hera Pheri, Titanic, Matrix Triology, The Borne Supremacy, Terminators, 007 Bonds, Home Alones, etc.... Many more... but atleast above ones are i sit down to watch anytime, if i get the chance!! REgards, Zooom..!!
hahh........just thinking of hera pheri makes me laugh.... awesome film dude... im kinda sick of bond films. used to fascinate me wehn i was a kid but now they come in the 'spiderman-batman' genre for me.
Heyya Guys.. Rightt..Hera Pheri was the Bomb..I take great pride in sayin that it's taken off a Malayalam flick called RamjiRao SPeaking..the original is sinfully funny..and it loses something in translation, but it's a blast NEhow.. I wonder how many ppl have seen this movie called Let's Talk, it's got Boman Irani in it..explores the tussles of a married couple..compelling performances and close to life situations.. Cheerio Menon
