I feel I’m deviating from the subject, let me stick to the topic. Bollywood ruined a great film by re-making it into Bhool Bhulaiya, which was complete Bullshit when compared to the original.Īnd Punjabi Cinema gave us “ Jee Aayan Nu“, a tale of unconditional love across 2 continents.

But I simply loved his “ Thalpathi” (Dalpati in Hindi), that was Directed by Mani Ratnam and was arguably the best Gangster movie ever made in India (Not Ram Gopal Verma’s Staya, Company or Sarkar)Īnd the there was Malyaalam cinema’s finest, “Manichithrathazhu”. Kamal Hassan later gave a performance of the lifetime in “ Indian” where he starred as a 70 year old former freedom fighter who fights corruption in Modern Day India, even if it means to Kill his son for a corruption free nation, he does it. From Maharashtra we’ve had the Masterpiece “ Shwaas“.įrom Tamil Cinema we’ve had the heart & soul touching Kamal Hassan starrer, SR Singeetham directed Apporva Sahodarargal, which was later dubbed in Hindi as Appu Raja.Īnother Kamal – Singeetham product was the Silent movie “Pushpak” (Perhaps the only movie made in the 80’s that had no Spoken Dialogues). Not just Benagli cinema, we’ve had Brilliant Films from other parts of the country. Who can forget Satyajit Ray’s Apu Trilogy highlighted by the internationally acclaimed “ Pather Panchali“. Its a well known fact that some of India’s best films have come from Bengali Cinema. I’m sure that ignorant fool had no idea about the Regional Cinema of India. (Not to offend my Punjabi & Gujrati friends, but these two are the only communities along with Tamil & Malyaalis who constitute majority of the Indian Diaspora, and unlike the Tamil and Malyaali communities, the Punju & Gujju N.R.Is watch only Hindi films) It was clear that the Creator of that Video was some Dumb Ass Teenage Punjabi or Gujrati NRI brat for whom Indian cinema means only Bollywood. And not surprisingly, all those Hindi Movies were post 1990 Releases. Because all the movies listed over there were Hindi Movies.
Well, the movies in the video were touted as the Greatest Indian Movies ever made.
Feelings of Amusement, Absurdity & the feeling of being Pissed Off. The Video was titled, “The greatest Indian movies ever made”.Īfter watching the 3 minute long Video, I was left with mixed feelings.

I was just watching a Video on one of my favourite TV shows – “The Green Hornet”, when I came across this video in the related videos section. Sorry Adit & Shankar, I’d promised you that I’ll take on more & more diverse topics, but don’t worry, all my upcoming topics will be NOT related to movies.
I had vowed to write more and more on diverse topics, making the Blog as intriguing as possible.īut a You Tube Video compelled me to write this piece on Cinema Appreciation, something I was trying to avoid for some time.
