Coolie (1983)
Oh My God....Such A Brilliant Film!!
I have five favourite Hindi movies...And This is the very first one. I watched this movie as a child and fell in love with it.
Its amazing from start to finish. The acting...again from Amitabh Bachan superb....he grabs your attention the moment you start watching him, and to take your eyes away from him is impossible. The plot and characters are too complex to explain as they are all connected one way or another. This is the only movie i have seen Kader Khan play a Villain and he does it fantastically.
The songs....all are excellent, my particular favourites are, Saari Duniya, Mubarak Ho Tum Sab ko Hajj Ka Mahina, Mujhe Peenay ka shok Nahin, And the hilarious Lambuji Lambuji...
Amazing on screen relationship between Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachan, comic and touching.
As Always Amitabh has an excellent relationship with himself and an animal...in this case a falcon known as Allah Rakha.
This movie has a wonderful portrayal of Islam...And is wonderful to watch...i will never get tired of this movie...
Mard (1985)
An Amazing Movie!! You must watch it!!
I first watched this movie as a child, and although i did not understand it, (As i am not Indian but Bengali, and this movie has actually been rated as a 15) I still loved it then as i do now.
I understand every word and am moved by many dialogues and scenes.
Amitabh Bachans acting, is again wonderful and spot on. As well as everyone else's. Im not a big fan of Amrita Singh, but i did enjoy her performances in this movie.
I have read other member comments and most have said that a lot of the movie has bloopers. Do these people actually watch the movie or do they sit and note down everything that doesn't fit in? When I'm watching the movie, i don't even pay attention to everything that is wrong, I'm too busy being entertained by the superb acting! Even the animals are entertaining....The way they are loyal to there master....and in return they get respect. This film is a simple lesson to us all...treat everyone and everything with respect.
Trust me, Watch this movie....i doubt if you could tear yourself away...i couldn't and still cant...this is one of my top five movies....and will always be!
Waah! Tera Kya Kehna (2002)
A movie good for kids.
I am a big fan of Govinda's older movies, such as Saajan Chale Sasural, Radha Ka Sangam, Pyar Karke Dekho, so i am very familiar with the way Govinda acts.
~ But this was sort of a let down. I think there is a certain quality to a good actor when they can play a far from normal character and Govinda doesn't seem to pull it off.
~ First of all, in the first half the fact that he sounds a bit weird? i cringed every time he said something...and his whole "Mera Ek Screw loose Hai, Baaki Sab tight Hain!' funny at the start but got weak. The other co stars, they seemed to pick up the useless acting too.
~ The whole lot of them, Shakti Kapoor, Mohnish Baal (the guy who was in Hum Aapke Hain Koun, for god sakes!) even Kader Khan who was amazing in Coolie, seemed to look like idiots!
~ And the whole Po Po and Ko Ko or whatever it was during the Preity and Govinda scene was so annoying! i mean come on, I've seen better scenes in a children's program! ~ My only hope when i began watching this movie was that it would become a little bit better and it did, but only a small fraction. The second role when Govinda played a Qawali singer, made me smile...and Raveena Tandon seemed to bring a bit of life to this movie.
~ The songs were okay, out of the whole movie, the best song has to be Waah Tera Kya Kehna, when we are first introduced to Raveena and the 2nd Govinda. the rest are fairly moderate and the worst has to be I want money! with a film like that Govinda you aren't going to get much!
~ The only person who seemed to enjoy it out of my family and i, was my younger brother who was five at the time. and you can see why, its childish humour. its audience should have been targeted towards five years old, not adults.
~ So in short, If you want a Bollywood movie for your under tens then this is good...otherwise anyone over ten should bring a book with them to read whilst watching it, believe me it gets very boring!
