Hey , so many years ago I watched a really interesting movie. There was what I think may have been an American in India he fell in love with a woman ( maybe was prostitute) There was a little person (dwarf - midget) That knew of this woman an helped him find her - it was like suspense vibe,,,,, Anyone know this film lol

Did it really not do much business when it released?

Just watched it last night reluctantly because I had been put off by people bashing it so much on different platforms.

I was pleasantly surprised to see it was really well made, well scripted movie. I loved the exploration of Werewolf lore, cultural references such as the one about Rahul Roy's Junoon or ichadaari naagin, efficient reuse of iconic music. The beautiful backdrop and culture was a character on it's own The pacing was gripping from the first frame to the last. Even the effects were done justice to.

Among the Stree Universe offerings, I rank it right behind the OG Stree.

So what went wrong with it?

It's Sunday evening, I thought let's just watch a commercial no brainer movie, but this movie puts those "illogical action" movies to shame. Helicopter and tank scenes are the worst, only actors were Jaideep and Vijay verma. How was this movie even a hit?

So today i went to watch Bhool Bhulaiya 3 (yes ik v late) with 0 expectations and although it was kinda boring but the climax really surprised me. I was very teary by the end honestly. I mean yes its def not as good as the first part but this one isnt that bad either and ive seen many worse movies in bollywood which people dont talk shit about.

I watched this movie last night, and this movie kept me laughing till climax, tho there are some serious moments in the movie after interval, overall it's a comedy movie, Alia and Varun ki chemistry itni achi thi Maza aagiya,Varun can do comedy roles, in this movie he proved it, Alia bhi achi lag rahe the is film mein, Comedy does land in this movie, like hasi aayi mujhe yeh movie dekhte dekhte, just like I said this movie kept me awake and laughing till climax, supporting actors also did their job, especially som dev( Varun's best Freind in this movie), I would give this movie 8/10

Now Watching. What a beautiful piece of work. Great actors like AB Senior, Emran, Annu, Raghuvir etc. Amazing concept and great actings. Any reason it didn't work? Was it Covid? Or people really didn't like this underrated masterpiece.

I don’t know how Srk became the king of romance, but I remember even as a child I mostly disliked SRK’s character and almost thought of them as a 🚩and it’s pretty consistent with Srk films. I haven’t have watched more of 90s movies except of some Srk films so I don’t have many references to compare but still his roles were considered as the most desirable to both, male and female and they were far from green flag. His roles were either obsessive, sarcastic, melodramatic, self loathing. And I hated how he used to chase girls to the point of stalking which was I think considered cool in that era. I feel his character was flawed and not one dimensional Prince Charming, which is cool for an actors perspective and should be seen that way but still people don’t seem to see the characters toxic traits and remember those characters as epitome of their dream man. All the characters I disliked were considered dreamy at that time for example, jab tak hain jaan, chalte chalte, KANK, KHNH and many others. The character I remember loving was Ram from dhadkan and Aditya from JWM. I could be wrong as I haven’t watched that movie since a long time

As the legend of behind-the-scenes goes - Knowing that it is an impossibility for an actor to maintain a consistent emotional intensity for a scene like this if not shot in one shift, Yash Chopra wanted to shoot this scene in one night. But due to technical issues, it was shot over four nights. When the last take on the fourth night got over,in front of the whole crew.. Yash Chopra got down on his knees and put his head on Dilip Kumar's feet for doing the impossible.

Was just thinking if Shaan, Kala Patthar and Burning train were successful then bollywood would have also started producing big budget high concept movies just like Hollywood. Thoughts?

Bollywood, India's renowned film industry, has long been a symbol of creativity, storytelling, and entertainment. However, in recent years, there has been increasing criticism surrounding the issue of nepotism, with many newcomers struggling to find a place in the industry. This practice not only affects new actors but also aspiring producers, like Ashok Goswami, whom I personally know and respect.

Ashok Goswami is an example of someone with immense potential and passion for cinema, yet despite his hard work and dedication, he has faced numerous challenges in getting the recognition he deserves. Despite having the talent and vision to make a significant impact in the industry, Goswami has been denied opportunities, primarily because the industry often prefers to promote individuals with established family connections rather than giving newcomers a chance. This is a harsh reality that many like him face in Bollywood today.

The situation of Ashok Goswami serves as a glaring reminder of the unfairness that prevails within the industry. It highlights how Bollywood has become a space where those with the right surnames are often given more opportunities, while talented individuals without such connections struggle to break through. Goswami's story is not just about one person’s frustration, but about a much larger issue in the film industry: the lack of opportunities for emerging talent.

This issue also undermines the legacy of pioneering figures like Dadasaheb Phalke, who is considered the father of Indian cinema. Phalke’s vision was rooted in the idea of bringing new and innovative stories to the screen. He built the foundation of Indian cinema with a belief in talent, hard work, and vision, not family lineage. If Bollywood continues to disregard this foundational principle, it is a disservice not only to aspiring filmmakers like Goswami but also to the memory and contribution of Dadasaheb Phalke.

The truth is, when industry giants and producers continue to close the doors to new talent and prioritize nepotism, they stifle creativity and hinder the growth of the industry. Ashok Goswami, with his fresh perspective and unyielding passion for cinema, represents the untapped potential that could help take Bollywood to new heights if only given the right platform. Instead of continuing to favor the same families and faces, Bollywood should be more inclusive and offer opportunities to emerging filmmakers, producers, and actors.

It is high time that Bollywood reclaims its roots and returns to the values set by Dadasaheb Phalke. The industry should focus on nurturing talent, regardless of background, and offer a fair chance to everyone. Only then will Bollywood evolve into a truly inclusive, innovative, and thriving space, where all deserving individuals, like Ashok Goswami, have the opportunity to contribute and shape the future of Indian cinema.

Watching this today... Reassures my faith in love :-)

This movie was about so many things. Key being sportsman ship, sports-man spirit, friendship and old fashioned childhood romance. Set on the hill stations with boarding schools competitions and misfits from the 90s. We have all been there. What other movies come close?

So I want to watch Delhi Belly but only just discovered that originally it was released in English but has a hindi dubbed version too

I am confused whether to watch it in English or Hindi to get the maximum entertainment experience

For those who have watched it, can you kindly tell what should I go with ? Hindi or English ?

Thankyou

It's not so different from typical school/college relationship movies you might have seen in Hollywood. It's quite predictable once you know the premise but okayish. Keeps you in, assuming you might want to know how she takes her revenge. Even though movie has a slight over the top plot inspired by American flicks, it does capture the Indian young adult drama and antics. There's lot of stereotypical characters and tropes lifted from other movies. The dumb friend, heartthrob guy, sweet innocent protagonist, nerd who sucks at socializing,etc. All of that is transposed in an Indian or more precisely Mumbai setting. There are cringe or lame moments at times but Shraddha manages to somewhat carry the role. The movie isn't anything special or out of the ordinary but different for sure. Especially considering there's not much young adult movies coming out from Bollywood and also the fact it was a revenge flick. You can also tell the very mid 2000s vibes the movie gives if you're familiar with that. If you want something reminiscent of indian teen angst set in those years then this movie is for you to watch. A one time watch at best. Still an interesting movie for me. You get to see Yrf's attempt at trying to draw younger audience.

What If Salman Did Chak De India and SRK Did Wanted and Both the movies turn out to be as successful as they are now.. But the 90% of filmography is swapped post the release of Wanted

So let's take this .

Salman Did movies like Raees, JTHJ, Jawan and played the Titular role in Pathaan and so

And SRK Did movies like Dabbang, Ek Tha Tiger, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan and so

(let's say some movies like MNIK and Don 2 - like obviously- remains in SRk's filmography & PRDP and Bharat remained in Salman's filmography).

How do you see the things would turn out? Let's discuss 🎤

An actress who has played Veronica and Betty in two different movies .. time and again she has proven without any PR mouthpiece and social media antics that she has immense range as an artiste and this example is just the tip of the iceberg .. her body of work is worthy of being studied .. Which actress from the upcoming lot do you think has the range and charisma .. I can think of Sharvari and Tripti ..

Man! This film has created a havoc on box office all over India with mixed talk and different opinions, and the trailer cut is chef's kiss imo,

The film is directed by Abhishek Kapoor (Rock On, Kai Po Che, Kedarnath etc) and is written by him along with Ritesh Shah and Suresh Nair (Kahaani, Airlift, D-Day etc)

Ajay Devgn and Diana Penty also star in supporting roles
