I generally avoid passing judgment of a piece of art because
good or bad, it was a vision which couldn’t take the desired shape. Also, I
have nothing to write. If you like watching movies and follow salmaan khan religiously,
there is a (mamta banerjee dislikes cartoon) % of chance that you have missed
these movies. These are only some of the movies which deserve to be in the hall
of fame but for some reasons, bodyguard being one, aren’t. Anyhow, read on:
1. Being Cyrus: a debutant director teams up with a
brilliant cast to make a commercial-crossover movie about a edge of your seat
homicide plan. The story is narrated through the eyes of cyrus and how he
discovers about the plan he is played into. The reason I am recommending this
is because it has nasiruddin shah and boman irani playing their supporting
actor part par excellence. Not your average hero-beats-everyone-to-pulp story,
the ending is sure to blow your mind
2. Jaane bhi do yaaron: kundan shah directed venture is an
epic movie just because of the sheer amount of run and re-run on television.
And if you had doordarshan in your homes while growing up, you will recognize
bits and pieces of this movie. The story basically of a corrupt builder played
brilliantly by Pankaj kapoor and his plans to cover up a faulty bridge
construction in a fight with a newspaper editor(his ex-flame) and two
amateur-ish pro photographers caught in between. If your stomach isnt aching from laughter in mahabharat meets ramayan meets mughalai drama scene, you need to get yourself checked
3. Kabhi haan kabhi naa: you might have your own reasons for
not liking shah rukh khan (not counting dilwale dulhaniya le jayenge in the
discussion), he has done 2 movies (this and swades) which kind of balance it
all. Kabhi haan kabhi naa is the story of a loser goan boy sunil who falls for
aana played to perfection by suchitra Krishnamurthy.it also stars deepak tijori
in a weirdly likable role but you are secretly rooting for aana and sunil to
walk in oblivion. It’s not every day that you find yourself rooting for a
looser guy to take the girl. Find it on a dvd or catch it on tv. One of few
films in which shah rukh actually tried to act. watch it for sunil, who tries to make it all work. more like talking barfi
4. Paanch: for those of you who like Anurag kashyap brand of
cinema and were blown away by Shaitan(2011) (yes, the 'khoya khoya chand' one), THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.also,
if you don’t agree with my opinion of shaitan, well BOO-HOO. The biggest
tragedy of this movie: - it never got released. Nonetheless, find it on
‘you-know-where’ or come find me, I have a good enough print. I am not going in
details about the movie except it is first movie of Mr kashyap. Turns out, he
made movies even before DevD Gangs of wasseypur, which were equally awesome.
Although i said only 5, but do try Rocket singh, if you havent. Because it deserves it, thats why.
feel free to suggest similar movies in comments section \m/oO\m/
Great list. I watched kabhi ha kabhi na once, but it made me reallly sad. Rocket singh is so good, that I imagine myself doing that sometimes -> company mein company chalao..
ReplyDeleteShaitan was too black for me. Yet to watch gunda and panch!
I have seen all except Paanch! I come in the category of people who didn't know he made movies before DevD, before this post! Most of these movies figure in my favorite movies list! Mahabharat scene is epic! And what can one say about Gunda! Jo bolo woh kam hai!
ReplyDeletehmmm, I have not seen any of the movies listed here. I am from Kerala and prefer to watch if somebody suggest some movie. Anyway now target is done, thanks for listing and describing the movies...
