And i will have to get Ramki started on hindi movies.... last time he watched DIL BOLE for the cricket and dint understand anything excep the cricket portion.
Now i am geting him started on how to go about tackling the Hindi trash.
To be honest I am not a great lover of hindi movies nor english movies........
Moreover nowadays hindi movies are sub-standard and concentrating only on glamour.....
So I don`t think it`s worth watching hindi movies.....U might question me Slumdog millianaire is a good hindi movie......Yes....ofcourse......But again it`s directed by english movie director and that`s why it`s without glamour....ROFL
hi Ramki,
earlier we have good directors like bharathi raja/bhagya raja/balachander.. we miss these quality in tamil films even now. only maniratnam is there,. what r ur comments
regards
Yesterday while watching Big Boss I heard Kambli sing kasme Vaade from Upkaar sung by Manna Dey... To me that song beats any song sung today and he is to me the best film play back singer India has ever heard... Through sheer hard work although KK did not need to put any effort... All songs today barring the ones I mentioned before feom Veer Zaara are no patch on this beautifully composed song... Incidentally I went to the concert by him sometime back... Just 500 bucks while a concert by a useless singer like Sonu Nigam`s costs 2500 bucks!!! What Irony... BTW my fav no.1 song again by Manna Dey from Anand Zindagi kaisi hai paheli... Cheers... Oh! Here are the lyrics for the Kasme Vaade song...
To me from the list I would strike off Lagaan and Jaane Tu but keep the rest... Then again I would add a few of my own...
1. Taare Zameen Par
2. Munnabhai MBBS
3. Lage Raho Munna Bhai
4. Race
5. Bunty aur Babli
6. Khosla Ka Ghosla
7. Dhoom
8. Dhoom 2
9. Black
10. Sarkar
11. Sarkar Raj
12. Gharam Masaala... Although nothing beats Shaukeen in this genre esp what with Ashok Kumar changing glassing while the song... Jab bhi Koi kangana Chanke... To me the best comedy sequence I ever seen...
13. Bluffmaster
14. Parineeta for the sheer beauty of the film again
15. Jab We Met
16. Bheja fry
17. Rock on
18. Ek Chalis Ki Last Local
19. Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!
20. Aamir... Although few scenes are dirty.
21. Dev D
22. A Wednesday
and above all BHAGBAN for the sheer chemistry between big b and Hema malini... No.2 would be Khosla Ka Ghosla No.3 A Wednesday... and No. 4 Welcome to Sajjanpur... Cheers...
BTW here are the complete lyrics of the song from Shaukeen an extremely hummable song unlike Jai Ho... Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... ROFL...
jabbhi koi kangana khanke payal chanak jaye
soyi soyi dil ki dhadkan sulag sulag jaye
karu jatan lakh magar man (machal machal jaye)-2)-2
jabhi koi kangana bole
(jalak gaye rang jahan par ulaj gaye naina re naina)-2
paaye nahin yeh man banjara kahin bhi chaina re chaina
mere dil ki payaas adhuri mujhe bhatkaye
jabbhi koi kangana khanke payal chanak jaye
jabbhi koi kangana
kali kali jhume bhavanra agan pe jal jaye patanga-2
chanda ko chakor nihare (isi mein sukh paye)-2
jivan se yeh ras ka bandhan toda nahin jaye
(jabbhi koi kangana khanke payal chanak jaye
soyi soyi dil ki dhadkan sulag sulag jaye
karu jatan lakh magar man (machal machal jaye)-2)-2
jabhi koi kangana bole
Mungaaru male could be sung by anyone... and still sound good... LOL.. One of the best ever song I heard I must say... But to me the music of the title song is truly the best and beats any other in any language by a mile... Cheers...
To me Sonu Nigam is not a patch on Manna Dey... They kinda songs he has sung I bet nobody can sing... To me he was best and for the sheer lilting voice Hemanta Kumar Mukherjee comes next and then is Kishore Kumar for sheer exuberance... Cheers...
His dialogue delivery is unique and truly amazing... Although overall I would say Puneeth is better... But when it comes to pure dialogue Ganesh towers over everybody else... Oh! BTW my fav for dialogues and over all will always be Rajkumar... He too had a unique style... But yes I would toss between the 2 for dialogues... The 3 movies I watched most often no wonder are Shankar Guru, Milana and Mungaru Male in that order... I got another DVD of shankar guru since the first one conked off with repeated viewings... LOL...
