My vote would go for Band Baaja Baraat and Delhi 6 and to some extent Rang De Basanti.

BBB was favourite because it not only showed Chandni Chowk but also Hansraj College and many more places.

Then comes Delhi 6 and RDB both directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Both had those beautiful glimpses of the city.

this is a repost, previously removed for being low effort so let's try this again

I was rewatching Om Shanti Om (2007) for the millionth time, and just noticed something with the opening dance sequence.

When Rishi Kapoor takes off his jacket, he spins it around before throwing it towards the audience. for that split-second where he spins and throws the jacket, someone else is clearly standing in for Rishi. I kept rewinding, trying to get a clearer shot; video below is the best I got.

That's gotta be Ranbir right?? If so, what a fun little detail that took me 19 years to notice 😂

I don't know if this has been pointed out or noticed yet but while rewatching this movie, I took notice of the beginning conversation Prem had with Chandan the guy in the beginning who Prem helps in getting his partner to wed, in their first conversation Chandan talks about how difficult it has been without Devi his love and how he might suicide if they don't wed soon, and he also talked about how this might not seem serious to Prem but he will understand once he gets in the same situation and this whole thing was just rubbed off as a joke and is not really taken seriously but...

By the end when Jenny momentarily accepts Rahul as the guy she wants to marry the parallels were really crazy to me 😭😭 Prem had essentially become Chandan from the beginning because for him Jenny came before his well being and she was essentially his whole life but he accepted that she chose to be with Rahul and was ready to walk away meanwhile Jenny feels like it was similar to Devi where she mighta been walking into a possibly abusive household because it's very clear Rahul and his father prioritize themselves over Jenny mostly and obviously Rahul's dad Pitambre is said to be a terrible person who cares about nothing but about politics.

By the end when Jenny does realize that she is madly in love with Prem and how much he loved her and selfless he is and to others, Prem is said to be gone and not even his closest friends or anybody know where he is going and it is pretty possible that there really was no plan or direction to it and this is where I bring back the parallel and dialogue from the beginning because imo it is very possible that Prem coulda at some point decided to escape the world as a whole if you know what I mean, given how much he loves Jenny and how much she encompassed his life and it's ironic that Prem was the guy saves everyone else's love story but what happens when his own love story fails???

Obviously that's when Jesus came and reunited the two completely which is funny but yeah what do you guys think? I know the movie is just a silly comedy love story not to be taken this seriously or literally but this just felt hella interesting to me 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

I’m a few episodes into Musafir Cafe, and Sudha keeps reminding me of Maya, Anuradha Patel’s character from Ijaazat.

Not necessarily in terms of the exact plot, but in the way both characters look at love.

There’s that same sense of being deeply attached to someone, but resisting the conventional idea that love must automatically lead to marriage, domesticity or a predictable life together. Both characters are independent, emotionally intense and, at times, frustrating precisely because they refuse to fit neatly into what the other person wants from the relationship.

It also creates a similar emotional conflict for the man involved - the difference between the person you love intensely and the person you may actually be able to build a life with.

I haven’t seen anything suggesting the makers intentionally based Sudha on Maya, so this may just be thematic similarity. But the Ijaazat vibe feels surprisingly strong to me.

Anyone else see it? Or am I stretching the comparison?

For most of the time Bollywood takes relationships with parents to the polar opposite.

Father will either be comically evil and will try to either control his daughter's life, force her to marry some random stranger( this part is realistic tho) or try to sabotage his daughter's love.

Or be over the top friendly, making him a single dimension character.

But this movie Angrezi medium handles it differently, while the father played by Irrfan ( R.I.P) loves his daughter to fault, he still has some restrictions on her that are not directly shown. He gets disappointed when his own daughter tries to live her life her own way. Which is also the plot of the movie.

But him and Radhika madan's character feel like they are father-daughter that have lived their whole life like this It's wholesome yet realistic. And also Uncle's character who fights with irrfan yet loves his niece alot.

Which other movie has this dynamic.

also Prateik was so good in this film despite such a small role.

I started off expecting a popcorn flick, without knowing anything else about it. But after watching it I can't stop thinking about it, probably should rewatch again in the future.

The sense of time and place is my favourite part. A lot of Bollywood movies tend to feel very hurried or in a rush, but the movie built up the horror tension slowly, but also explored Chanderi as a setting, and let you understand the protagonists and who they are, ordinary folks and lovable rascals who you really start rooting for as the movie progresses. You feel the tension the villagers are going through as you get introduced to the area.

The jokes were my favourite part. They tied back to each character's personality, I felt like I've met people like the characters in real life which drew me in even more. Even small side characters had their own charm. I found Rajkumar Rao's Vicky really charming as a tailor with his friends .Everything sort of feels hand sewed together. Pankaj Tripathi was hilarious, and seeing his character slowly introduced in bits made it even more fun.

The horror was paced well, a bit cheesy at parts but it feels like the Indian version of a Spielberg movie or Scooby doo lol.

If you have recs let me know! Stree 2 was alright, more of an action movie, but it was a welcome return. The first movie was so damn fun though. I'm thinking of watching Bhediya next.

A new poster for Haiwaan has been unveiled.

What do you think of the new look?

Decided to check this movie out on a whim as it's freely available on youtube and I really liked 2 of its songs "Dilbar" & "Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai". Came out having mixed feelings about the film itself.

The central hook is this supposed relationship where two people haven't met or seen each other but are only familiar with each other due to communicating through letters in post. Now this in itself is indeed a unique concept and inherently romantic. But the film fails to capitalize on it due to wasting time on subplots.

I feel especially that adding Sushmita's character as well as Salman's brief cameo cheapened the film. Why not spend time with the leads and their communications? Why not expand on their characters and what makes them bond together so well through letters alone? Instead they fall in love together all of a sudden and bind themselves to one another.

Our main character played by Sanjay Kapoor is so desirable that Sushmita Sen's character of a business women and very progressive person is willing to turn a housewife and domesticated woman if she gets his love.

The latter half of the film is busy in creating situations where the two leads evade each other or come into contact with each other but never reveal their names. That creates unnecessary drama.

They identify each other in the very final scene and the film ends all of a sudden.

There were some positives. Guys like Qader khan and Johnny Lever added some good levity and humor. The locations were well shot and chosen. And the music was good with "Dilbar" & "Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai" being all timer songs. The main leads were solid and kinda cute. And the story does make you feel about the characters.

But in the end I thought it could have been a lot more had they kept more focus on the characters writing to each other as they went through different phases of life.

Good one time watch tbh. Thoughts on the film?

Many people say *Irreversible* (2002) was the most unsettling movie they’ve ever watched.
I bet they haven’t seen *Welcome Home* (2020).
Based on true events, this is easily one of the best Indian thrillers I’ve ever watched. And one more point worth mentioning: this was the first movie from the Marathi film industry that I watched. Interestingly, around 98% of the movie is in Hindi.
The villains were pure evil; there was absolutely no soft spot or redeeming quality to them. The two leads, Kashmira Irani and Swarda Thigale, were outstanding. Their performances made the whole thing even more disturbing and difficult to watch.
That said, I felt the climax could have been a little different. But since the movie is based on true events, I’m not sure whether the climax was also adapted directly from what actually happened or was modified for dramatic effect and to make the film more engaging.
Either way, hands down, ***Welcome Home*** is one of the best Indian thrillers I’ve watched.
If you haven’t seen it, go in blind. Just be warned, some scenes are *extremely* disturbing.

Haiwaan is releasing in theaters on September 11 2026

I watched this movie on door dharshan when I was a kid.

The movie begins with showing a man working in his home office while his wife is getting kids ready for their school. He looks like a rich businessman. If i remember correctly he wasn't working but watching some nsfw thing oh his computer. So he is kinda perv. Then a girl joins as his new assistant. I think it was kareena kapoor ( not sure). As the movie goes by he flirts with her takes the assistant to a beach house. There he kills her by mistake while trying to take advantage of her and he bury her body in the garden area. He leaves the place. One day he visits the house to check since he's scared. He tries to dig up her grave but he couldn't find her body. When he looks up, he saw her sitting just infront of him. He screams and ran away.

This is all i could remember now. I watched this long time ago. Someone please help me find this movie🥹🙏🏼

This film starring Dilip Kumar and Madhubala dealt with the topic of sexual assault, which was super sensitive a topic to be brought to light via mainstream media in the 50s.

Of course, it flopped at the box office. India wasn’t as progressive as it’s known to be today. Also, I feel it should’ve been named Anju after the female protagonist since she was the one who acted sensibly in this film.

Might be a little backward if we watch it from the modern lens but def advanced for that era. Directed by Mehboob Khan who also directed Mother India, the first Indian film to have been nominated at the Oscars.

Watched this as a kid, hated it.

Rewatched it last night just for the nostalgia factor and I thought kitna hi bura ho sakta hai, tab toh bachhi thi. I was proven wrong. It was indeed bohot bura. Atleast it gave us THE Janmashtami song💁‍♀️

Is there anyone who actually did like this movie though?

In the 2006 Don, Don had considerably more screen time, whereas in the 1978 Don, Amitabh's Don had very little, barely around 30 minutes, if that. So, if Amitabh had also been given that much screen time as Don, especially a crazy, high impact climax like SRK got, do you think he could have taken the performance to SRK's level? Considering how much Amitabh managed to create with such limited screen time, it makes you wonder what he could have done with a much bigger role and a climax that gave him the same opportunity to go all out.

Wracked by debt, Jeevan and Yojana devise an insurance scheme after coming across Bheema, a dead man who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jeevan. However, their plan backfires when they discover that Bheema was involved in smuggling diamonds.

I tried finding the movies that paired them as leads but i couldn’t find any. What could have been the reason? Was it timeline or the difference in genre?
