Dulha Mil Gaya (2010)

Perhaps the only reason I picked up the DVD from the shelf is because it flaunted a very glitzy photograph of Shah Rukh Khan, along with a bunch of other actors. Therefore, my prime reason for wanting to watch Dulha Mil Gaya was to be dazzled by King Khan’s charm. However, the pain I had ...

3 Idiots (2009)

3 Idiots has to be the most anticipated film of the year (2009) and will most certainly bag the coveted award for best film, as most Aamir Khan starrers do. With all the hype that Aamir created for a movie that was overtly simple and understated, one really couldn’t sense how successful the film would be ...

Junglee (1961)

Shammi Kapoor yelled ‘Yahoo!’ and became a new kind of hero for the 1960s. Raj Kapoor’s younger brother had shaved off his trademark pencil moustache in the 1950s and created a new Elvis-style image for the Indian hero as he danced to western-style songs in nightclubs and discos. His physical presence dominated the screen, with ...

Kaagaz ke phool (1959)

This is often said to the be the film that marked Guru Dutt’s mental decline towards suicide, as its failure at the box office led to his refusal to direct another film. Many believe that he actually directed Sahib bibi our ghulam (1961) and Chaudhvin ka chand (1960), in which he starred, but that he ...

Shekhar (Shashi Kapoor), an airforce pilot, and Shobha (Jaya Bachchan) are about to be married. He invites ...

Shree 420 (1955)

Shree 420 was a worldwide hit on its release and even today it remains popular. Raj Kapoor reprises his Chaplinesque tramp of Awaara for this film. (The 420 of the title refers to the section of the Indian Penal Code that deals with fraud, so the film’s title means ‘Mr Fraudster’.) Raju (Raj Kapoor) pretends ...
