Hindi Cinema Discussion

[SaiSrini]

Actually, I like South Indian movies (not sure Telugu or Tamil or Malyam or they are) which are dubbed in Hindi but the only South Indian movie which was remade in Hindi I liked was Sarfarosh. Actually, the dialogues seem better than the original. Also, Naseerudin Shah's acting was much better than that of Jackie Shroff in Astra (Thats what was the name of the movie dubbed in Hindi).

To tell you honestly, Bollywood film makers don't pick the right South films to remake. Wonder whats this new obsession with picking trash South masala films and remaking it in Hindi? There are some really good South films that you can pick and remake in Bollywood. Ghajini was a good pick (it was an action packed film, but a film with an interesting story and entertainment). Actually John and Vipul Shah have picked a very good Tamil movie (Kaakha Kaakha) and are remaking it as 'Force', but the problem is that John and Genelia look awful to the audience who have watched the original version and adore it so much (they are misfits to the characters they play). But I am guessing that the audiences who haven't watched the original might like it.

Force is a film you guys should really wait to watch. Also there is another movie coming up (with Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson with AR Rahman's music). Its also a remake of a recent superhit Tamil film and a very good film too.

The movie is not released yet.

Yeah but have you watched it though?

In India, that's possible.

Bodyguard looks like another one of Salman Khans ████ contributions. Wanted and Dabang were horrendous. This one looks more like love story, so it may get some decent reviews.

 

[Varun]

No decent reviews, just the holiday of Eid worked for him. Times Of India critics (can't go wrong with them) labelled the movie as without any substance.

 

[AbhishekS]

In India, that's possible.

But it happens too rarely, probably with just 1 film in every 5-7 years. I remember Kabul Express being telecasted on a local cable operator's channel 1 week before the release. The incident created a lot of fuss.

@ Sai: Lets see how Force turns out to be.

 

[The Rock]

Bodyguard is just like Dabangg, Ready and Wanted. Only a bit of love and romance angles makes it different. God, those action scenes were awful!

 

[Zidanes]

Mere brother ki dulhan is a nice movie, at least it's better than Bodugard.

Yeah. Katrina carried Imran and Ali pretty well in that one.

I'm waiting for Ra.One now.

Yes, I agree with you. Would be thinking twice now before going for a Salman Khan movie.

Yes, Arjun Rampal is playing the villain, Ra-One in it. They have kept his look secret for some reason. May be it would be like the futuristic version of Raavan. Even their names resemble too.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Mausam is fearsome tweak all!! Man 210 minutes movie and it seems movie does not end only!! Again Sonam as usual disappoints and Shahid did not expect this from you!!

 

[SaiSrini]

Watched "Delhi Belly" (the English cum Hindi version). There were so many incredibly funny (though vulgar and cheap) scenes to which I ROTFL'D, but after the movie, had a huge headache. A movie that tries to thrill through pure vulgarity and obscene and offensive language. I mean seriously, do you think you can drink orange juice after watching this movie? DISGUSTING!@!!!!!

2/5 (2 for the ROTFL moments)

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Man Vidya is the worst actress chosen for this role. Would have loved to see Priyanka or Kareena do this kind of role

That character is based on Silk Smitha (some old fat ****-ish actress who's dead) and size zero gals would never fit into that role. Vidya was purposely told to gain weight for that movie to make the thing look realistic.
