Hi guys,
just wondering if anyone has seen Swades?

:D

Hi guys,
just wondering if anyone has seen Swades?

:D

I haven't, but I think this thread is a great idea. :thumbup:

Yet to eyeball "swades". Should be up to snuff.

yeah swades looks really good. i like the music a lot. i want to see kisna too.

yeah swades looks really good. i like the music a lot. i want to see kisna too.

the only desi movies I've seen in my life, hehe: (w/ subtitles, of course :D )

Dhoom - a HUGE ripoff of 4 american movies, but still unique for indian cinema.
Kal ho na ho - priety zinta(sp?), enough said :D
hum tum - cool movie, methinks.
dil chahta hai - very nice movie.

since i'm here anyway, i'll throw in that i love the music to chameli, dil ne jise..., swades, umm, what else..raaga's full blast :D

and chicken tandoori and veggie. jalfreezie (sp?). yum.

*edit* AND HAYWARD 5000!!! i had this the other day - never knew indians could make beer. i'm so proud of india :laugh:

veer zara was good, but typical for one of his movies (devdas, hum dil de chuke sanam) etc. but still good, and the music is nice too.

everyone, and i mean EVERYONE, should go see Mein Houn Na. it was really good and funny...very surprising for an indian movie...and of course Munnabhia MBBS. :D :thumbup:

oh yeah, and saathiya too :)

definitely watch munnabhai mbbs. its hilarious with all the bombay slang...sort of a desi patch adams.
i can't believe nobody here has seen swades yet. i've heard its good from people but haven't seen it myself yet.

Swades is good but quite predictable. I think you should watch hulchul...excellent comedy, and kuch to garbad hai(nice timepass)and i m sure everyone has watched hungama. :D

Hungama is just plain awesome!

Hungama is just plain awesome!
:D :D :D

have u guys seen veerzara? it was a very sad movie.

veer zaara was really good. although it was pretty overly emotional. but as a whole production, it was very good, the music, the colors, contrast, cinematography, nice.

I for some reason didnt find Hungama to be that hilarious as some of the reviews on websites made it out to be... But got to admit, I nearly killed myself rolling literally on the ground with laughter towards the ending of this movie... I was trying to reach for the DVD remote to try and switch it off since I had a really bad stomach-ache as well as a "cheek-ache" because of all the laughing... But the remote was beyond my reach...

Anyway, I really want to watch Hulchul...

PS Priyadarshan's movies ROCK!!! *special mention to Hera Pheri*

Sorry to hijack, but Priyanka, I once told you I had a cousin who went to bhavans? His name was Amit Kulkarni, but I'd doubt you knew him given that he hardly talked to anyone. He lived on Grant Road in Shastri Hall in Mumbai (that's where my father comes from).

And, um, I once *almost* saw an indian movie about some actor with the last name "khan" who had or was indirectly related to the subject of AIDS. It was supposed to be ok.

I stop now. ;)

so ur basically saying that any movie that doesn't have shahrukh in it is a horrible movie ? or not worth watchng? I agree with DrPreet... even though srk is a good actor and does nice romantic roles, that is all he does. he has the same expressions on his face ... he doesn't try out new roles like Amir khan or even Hrithik do. There are plenty of great movies to watch that don't have srk in them... hulchul and dhoom are examples of the most recent ones I saw.

dhoom was hella good..finally a decent action movie that i can relate too with hotties in it..WHEN DID ESHA DEOL GET HOT AGAIN??? :D :confused: anyways..i wanna see Veer-Zara, Hulchul, Munhabai MBBS, and Aitaraz (the DVD from india is at home).

Hola ice,

well u will surprise to hear he born in peshawar pakistan

dhoom was hella good..

hella huh?

you must be from northern cali :D

OMG esha deol was officially plastered inside my eyelids for a long period after I saw that movie. Hoooooootttttt. And I was shocked at how racy the first scene was :eek:

Yeah, it was a good movie - but I hated that it was a ripoff of Oceans 11, MI 2, fast and furious, and...another one i think. IF it were more original , then it'd be 'awesomer'.

It hardly matters whether dhoom was a ripoff of any english movie or not coz indians love movies only when it has their (indian)actors in it.ofcourse i m talking about the 'mawalis' who are the maximum cinema watchers in india.So it doesnt matter even if it wasnt original

hmmmmmmmm
shk
well u will surprise to hear he born in peshawar pakistan

i dont give a **** about that sweetie

I agree with the earlier post about Sharukh Khan having basically the same maligned expression on his face in every movie....then again, you could say that about every other Indian actor.

Hrithik is really good, and his movies actually have really good production values...but everytime hes on screen, I keep watching for the 6th finger!!! Can't he do something about that?

Priety (sp?) Zinta looks like a childhood friend of mine, so watching her in anything is like watching a romantic dramedy with my sister.

Kareena's hot!!! But she seems like she'd be kinda prissy and prudish in person.

Saif Ali Khan is my favorite actor. He has really good comedic timing and is content being a supporting actor in good movies, rather than the lead in bad ones.

I dont get Esha Deol...I just don't....get....her. Shes not a good actor at all, and always looked pissed off.

Also...I havent watched most (actually...any) of the movies you guys listed, but I cant believe no one mentioned Kal Ho Na Ho. I thought it was really good.

So thats my 2 cents. Even though I've only seen like three movies since last summer, I watch a lot more during breaks when I visit home...ZeeTV and SET are awesome!

hella huh?

you must be from northern cali :D

no im not, actually..lol :D Im from southern cali too :) But so many nor call peeps down here, so "hella" rubbed off on me.

hey guys
by this time you all must have known that the glamour queen of the 70s Parveen babi died yesterday
what saddened me the most was the way she died
there was nobody besides her in her apartment and the body was only discovered after the neighbours complained of foul stench coming out of her apartment.
she was diabetic and had a gangrene on her foot
her body is lying unclaimed at cooper hospital morgue,
isn't it sad
nobody deserves this kind of death
may her soul rests in peace

Not even indian but have to recommend DEVDAS...it was soo beautiful! I wish they had the book it was based on in english.

Has Anyone seen "Page 3".......

Has onyone seen Yuva??

Pretty good movie!

Has onyone seen Yuva??

Pretty good movie!
yeah..yuva is a cool movie.
What abt PAGE 3(yes,thats the name of the movie.....)Its tells the truth abt movie stars n the high class....a real nice movie!!

Has Anyone seen "Page 3".......

i saw page 3
it is a nice movie, something differant than the regular bollywood movies
it is about people moving in high society circles in bombay and how they live an artificial life
it is reccomended for people who like reality and serious type of movies
since I spent most of my life in bombay, I really appreciated the movie
Also the Director of this movie "madhur Bhandarkar" had made " chandni bar "
which was a movie about bar girls in bombay and that was also a brilliant movie

chandni bar was an interesting movie. it was so sad, but it showed the reality of those girls. the part where her boy is in jail and gets raped is so sad. that whole movie is sad. :(

yes, chandni bar was a sad movie but unfortunately depicted the real story of bar girls in bombay, how they get exploited by the society and what they have to go through to make a living
I thought Tabu was brilliant in that movie and the rest of the girls were actually bar girls in real life

CHANDANI BAR was way too sad........
Raincoat is okay............sad again...
I loved aitraaz.........copy of Disclosure....yet a bold step for Indian cinema.... :D

Anyone see the movie Flavours (http://www.flavorsthemovie.com/)? It's another ABCD type movie which was ok. I still love American Desi and American Chai. But I haven't seen "Where's the Party Yaar?" as of yet.

Cannot remember the name of the movie (begins with an R), but I was watching a best of 2004 songs tape yesterday and saw this really cool song with Abishek Bachan and Bipasha Basu called "One love". This song should hit MTV - mostly in English and has a really good rap tune to it. Anyone see this song?

Has anyone seen 'the road to laddhak'.....???

Has anyone seen 'the road to laddhak'.....???
Nope, is it a documentary? Or a drama based on a real story?

Thanks for the warning para ;)

I don't plan on watching Mr. Bacchan's newest flick, cause frankly, the man cannot act. :scared:

*sunny runs and hides* :meanie:

Truth_Betold was referring to a film by Deepa Mehta, about two lesbian women (Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das), the film's name was Fire, and it was pretty good. Earth was also good, and I am eagerly waiting for Water (who knows when the mob will get off the director's back).

Anyone see Mira Nair's "Monsoon Wedding"? That was one good film, with some great direction and photography.

yes...Black is a Beauty....Excellent movie...Amust watch !!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Yes certainly balck is a beautiful movie but it would have been more enjoyable had it been original one. Visit www.bollycat.com

sunny- you r the first person whom i have met who doesnt like amitabh's acting....why is that???

Has anyone seen [/I]Mugahal- e- Azam in colour. Surely a watchable movie.

I don't know really, I guess it is just a personal preference :D . I guess the man recieves so much attention and devotion (have you seen the shrines people make of him?) just for being an actor, that I think it is really undeserved.

When growing up, Amitabh was my cousin's favourite, while Amrish Puri was my favourite (because of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom).

amrish puri, geroge costanza etc etc

^ Apparently the baldies are the best actors out there ;)

Let's not forget about Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), Kelsey Grammer (Fraiser), Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko), Samuel Jackson, Bruce Willis, and many others...

Plus, I sport the dome during the summer time (best when playing tennis). I got shaggy hair that keeps growing, but now, its on the short, presentable side (never know when an interview will come up :D ).

Anyone see the documentary "Born into Brothels"? It was about children in Calcutta's red light district, who were taught photography. It also won this year's Oscar for Best Documentary. Anyways, I asked my university to order it for our media library. Unfortunately, I haven't come across a trailer for the movie.
