Which is the last Bollywood film you saw ?

PR, No need to duck. Please continue.

writing standards are so good in hindi that even a great like kamal is inspired to remake them

Nah...I like to believe UPO is a quickie he didn't mind trying because he had a gap in his diary. From what we know it is 'ideologically' distant from Kamal's stand. And -something I rue about actually - most of his movies reflect some shade of his political vision - if that's the word for it. I wouldn't read too much into his remaking Wednesday.

ok, thats wat TF said - i was just reiterating his point.....but i also tend to agree with him a bit - if it was a quickie why not remake slumdog millionare?? i mean why pick a hindiwallah's bollywood creation?? i think A. Kamal is not a racist B. best available scripts are from bollywood.....

That was all actually

I was going to say the standing ovation would have helped wake up all those who had dozed off somewhere between Abhay Deol first waterwash and second. Then I kind of reined in.

Hey Plum, this Ricky thing is good I say.

I have no reason to believe he would have been able to pull off the performance that Shahid manage to in kaminey.

And yes I am saying all this based on 'one' performance directed by an ace director.

This is the problem. And serious-a solren, shaheed performance appadi onnum perusa thonila.

We will see in a few years how things pan out.

I don't see radical changes here. While we will see better films there, and performances will be overrated, talend attributed to every tom, dick and harry in Bolly.

Plum, neenga Kaminey'ya romba thookki vachchu pEsura maadhiri irukku It is good... but not great

No, sarNA, I didnt. I was underwhelmed by Kaminey, even the LOL moments;

Yes, I felt the same way too. BS_K is okay, but Chopra was excellent.

Exactly but then you dont have a point to make about bolly's superiority

Excellent point, k-g. Right now the argument seems to be "mere paas Dev-D hai". konja varushathukku munnAdi varaikkum nammaLum, "mere paas hey-raam hai"-nu solli OttikittirundhOm.

As PR admitted, nobody seems to eb aware of the *average* bolly movie. People are making an assumption that "Dasvidaniya" is an average bolly movie. It isn't. An average bolly movie is Aagey Se Right or Golmaal Returns. And the writing sucks intolerably in those.

again assumptions that we cling on to DevD everytime we have a crisis

i'll take Johnny Gaddar and beat the daylight out of Paruthiveeran - anyone ready

- Johnny Gaddar vs Paruthiveeran. Dev D vs Chennai Kaadhal - looks like mottai thalai muzhangAl comparisons are the order of the day. Or you could say abdul khader and amaavasai, if it is not politically incorrect to say so. Kandinue...
