Flaws in Hindi movies

Posted by maneesh On December - 6 - 2010
  • Baghban: Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini are separated right after Holi remember Amitabh singing Holi khele Raghubeera?). They are said to be separated for six months, ie from March to September.
    Within that six-month period, they celebrate Valentine's Day, which falls on February 14, and karva chauth, which is usually observed in October. There is no way these two occasions could come between March and September!
  • Lagaan: Lagaan was shot in the late 19th century. At the time, an over in cricket used to consist of 8 balls. But in this movie, an over has 6 balls. Maybe modern cricket learnt from the movie.
  • Amar Akbar Anthony : Three men donate blood at the same time to the same person.
  • Awwal Number: Dev Anand is an omnipotent genius -- former cricketer, captain, army chief, commissioner, you name it. And Aamir Khan carries a huge transistor in his pocket while batting!
  • Khalnayak: The police tracks the villain from an MS Word Document screen! something that office team will be interested in)
  • Pyar To Hona Hi Tha: Kajol gets off the train to use the public toilet at the railway station and the train chugs off without her. Poor girl,little did she know that every train compartment has four toilets inside.
  • Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi: Akshay Kumar boards a Jet Airways flight to America. Well, well, some promotion for our Indian Jet Airways. Since when did they start flying international?
  • Raja Hindustani: Navneet Nishan has short hair before marriage. After tying the knot, she acquires waist-length hair overnight. What a hair-raising experience!
  • Raja: Dilip Tahil empties a can of petrol over Madhuri Dixit. Minutes later, Sanjay Kapoor takes the same can and pours it over Dilip Tahil. That's what I call an autofill!
  • Guddu: Manisha Koirala and Shah Rukh Khan are seen hanging on a parachute during a song. But when the song ends, they land on a glider. What a switch above sea level!
  • Tere Mere Sapne: Priya Gill is doing her BA. But at the bus stop, she is carrying an electrical technology thesis by B L Theraja. What an electrifying interest!

Kaun (1999): Good Hindi thriller movie

Posted by maneesh On August - 10 - 2010

Cast: Urmila Matondkar
Manoj Bajpai
Sushant Singh

The movie is about a psycho killer who is on loose in Mumbai. It tells the story of a young girl in a house who is scared about this. The movie is quite a strange one as there are only 3 characters. The movie evolves around these 3 characters. Kudos to the director who has created such kind of drama. Initial fifteen minutes or so you might feel it boring but after that it's a treat to watch. All are actors were brilliant in their roles.

Cast: Anupam Kher
Boman Irani
Parvin Dabas
Vinay Pathak
Ranvir Shorey

The movie is wonderful with humor like never before. The movie is about a middle class man in Delhi and his family. The story, direction, acting and screenplay all of them are flawless and that's what make the movie perfect. Director Dibakar Banerjee should be credited for that I guess. No matter there was talented actors in the movie but I have seen high budget movies with loads of actors turning out to be crap. So, I would give maximum credit to the director, which is actually the creator of the movie. What a hilarious movie and that too jokes from real life things, Kudos!

Mirch Masala (1985): Good Hindi movie

Posted by maneesh On August - 4 - 2010

Cast: Naseeruddin Shah
Smita Patil
Om Puri
Suresh Oberoi
Deepti Naval
Mohan Gokhale

The movie depicts situation of India in colonial times. It shows the lack of law and order and a total chaos of the system. The movie takes place in rural India where women have to go to work in Spice factories. Subedar likes a woman over there and then the intense drama starts. I will not disclose the story, it's fun to watch when it is not told. Acting of Smita Patil is a good one and Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri were outstanding as always.
