Anjaana Anjaani (2010)
Live each day like it’s your last. Enjoy life to the max. Live with a no regret policy. Yeah yeah yeah, we have all heard this time and again and that’s precisely what Anjaana Anjaani is all about. Directed by Siddharth Anand, starring Priyanka Chopra as Kiara and Ranbir Kapoor as Akash in the lead, ...
Deedar (1951)
Adapting much of the K.L. Saigal type of melodrama, the tale opens with adolescents Shamu (Dilip Kumar) and childhood sweetheart Mala (Nargis). Mala’s rich father (Sapru) disapproves and when the children have an accident while horse-riding (a portent of the tragedy to come), he has Shamu and his mother evicted. The trauma kills the mother ...
Raja Harishchandra (1913)
Commonly performed and often-filmed Mahabharata legend and Phalke’s first feature. The film is often celebrated for having inaugurated the Indian film industry following Phalke’s own claim to that effect (ICC Report, 1928). The cast was drawn from nonprofessionals and although Phalke wanted to cast women in female roles (breaking with stage tradition), no woman agreed ...
Pundalik (1912)
Often presented as the first Indian film. Usually credited to R.G. Torney, but recent research suggests he was only marginally involved. Made jointly by N.G. Chitre, the manager of the Coronation Cinematograph in Bombay, and P.R. Tipnis, later a major Delhi-based distributor. The film about the Hindu saint is based, according to Harish Booch (1964), ...
Lafangey Parindey (2010)
Whenever they say everything’s possible you should know it’s Bollywood they are talking about because yes literally everything is possible in that land. Lafangey Parindey, directed by Pradeep Sarkar and produced by Aditya Chopra is another Bollywood movie which proves the stated fact. The plot of Lafangey Parindey takes us into the lives of Nandu ...
We Are Family (2010)
It’s Sidharth Malhotra’s directorial debut but We Are Family (WAF) reeks of Joharism in every single frame of the film. This family has all the essential values of an A-class Bollywood production: A-list casting (Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal), foreign locales (Sydney), the NRI (non-resident Indian) angle and the ever-important disco track (a brilliantly ...
Peepli [Live] – 2010
This year, I was introduced to Soviet dramatist Nikolai Erdman’s The Suicide, directed on the Islamabad-stage: the plot focused on unemployed, impoverished Semyon, who contemplates suicide only to find his small apartment flooded with faux-sympathetic visitors [the Intelligentsia, representatives of the business world, the worker class, and the like] all begging him to die for ...
Tere Bin Laden (2010)
Finally. After more than a month of hype, re: glowing reviews, Bollywood’s A-list joining the Twitter bandwagon to praise the film [yes, KJo's on my Twit-List], and abysmal torrent downloads ['HQ DVD rip' - not!], Tere Bin Laden makes its way to your local DVD shop. It seems India’s just woken up to the concept ...
Milenge Milenge (2010)
Nothing ruins my mood and Friday more than a bad movie and Milenge Milenge did exactly that! It made last year’s Kambakkht Ishq look like a masterpiece. At least that was fresh; this one’s just simply ancient. It’s one of those movies which are so sad that after a few scenes, you stop criticizing it ...
I Hate Luv Storys (2010)
I Hate Luv Storys is the latest ideal candy floss offering for the young generation with scenes thrown in from Bollywood classics like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayen Gay, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Chahta Hai, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and the likes. The plot of the film is simple and clichéd; Imran Khan as ...
