Which is the last Bollywood film you saw ?

There's a similar thread in Tamil Films & Western Films section, but none here - for Hindi and other language Indian Films.

So here hubbers can post the names of the last Bollywood, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Punjabi, (and other Indian languages / dialects) film that you saw recently :).

And also if possible post a brief review - whether you would recommend it for viewing? Maybe rate the movie by allotting stars (*) in a scale of 1 to 5. :)

[ramky]

The most recent film i saw is : REHNA HAI TERE DIL MEIN, *ing Madhavan, Diya Mirza & Saif Ali Khan. Its a remake of the tamil hit "Minnale", and the tunes of most (if not all) songs are based on the tamil versions. :).

"Zara zara bahekta hai mahekta hai" is superb, both in its lilting music, picturisation and lyrics. well sung by Bombay Jayashree who had also sung the tamil version - "Vaseegara" :musicsmile:.

DIL TOH PAAGAL HAI - romantic film (1997) *ing SRK, Madhuri Dixit, Akshay Kumar, Karishma Kapoor. songs became quite popular :). those who liked KKHH, DDLJ must watch this one too ;-)

[Anoushka]

Saw the second half of Shabd yesterday... I think I would have appreciated the movie more if I saw the whole movie... any one else has seen this? :)

[ajaybaskar]

Sarkar..NOT BAD

[ssanjinika]

Watched Eklavya. The movie was hyped up so much that my expectations were so high..ended up being dissappointed. Its not a bad movie. Watch without expectations and its an interesting movie to watch.

[Shakthiprabha.]

Eklavya.

I second ss.

Good enough. It was like watching an AVERAGE english movie.

[ajaybaskar]

Krish...Boring one...

[Shakthiprabha.]

How bout

Nishabd?

is it good?

[Surya]

Krish...Boring one...

If it isn't seen in the theater, then it's only worth watching for Hrithik Roshan. 8-)

[sahana6]

How bout

Nishabd?

is it good?


depends on how you look at it.

[Wibha]

i started watching SALAAM-E ISHQ :banghead: found it boring

den watched SALAAM NAMASTE :cool: nothing much to say bout da movie :?

[ssanjinika]

SALAAM-E-ISHQ

:banghead:
3 1/2 hours wasted time..ofcourse I managed to finish watching the movie in about an hour and a half.

[Wibha]

:lol: i found it so annoying.i decided to watch it as my frnds told it was cool :banghead: saw first 15 mins and den :banghead: :banghead:

[Shakthiprabha.]

How bout

Nishabd?

is it good?


depends on how you look at it.

I saw NISHABD.

I felt sad.. :roll: :(

[Anoushka]

salam-e-ishq

veeeeeeeeeeeeeery looooooooooooong movie :)

[Anoushka]

Sandy: I went to the theatre to watch that movie... didn't have the luxury of fast forwarding it :lol: but went with a group of friends... we had great time laughing and making noise :lol: next time we will surely be banned from the theatre!

[ssanjinika]

Shyami,
Im very very careful about what movies I watch in the theaters(esp if I am going with Ashok). I dont like to leave movies half way and he hates sitting and watching a movie he doesnt like so usually we end up having a big fight if the movie is bad( I will refuse to come out of the theater and he will refuse to sit in the theater :P).

[Querida]

Salaame-Ishq was really long...needed major editing actually could have just focussed on Abraham/Vidhya couple and made a great movie...

Watched Hum-Tum very cute ....still have to watch cult classic DDLJ

Watched Nishabd...i really enjoyed it....very minimalistic...to the point...and sad...great performance by all...and the scenery....gorgeous!

[great]

Has anybody seen the movie WATER :?:

[maithree]

Salaam-E-Ishq.

Like Q said...LOOOOOOOOOONG MOVIE! :cry: I liked the overall presentation of the movie, and it was clear that the director was trying to mimic Love Actually starring Hugh Grant etc.

It was an Average Bollywood Flick. Didn't live up to my expectations though.

[maithree]

Has anybody seen the movie WATER :?:

I watched FIRE, hated it.

Then Earth, and Decided never to watch a Deepa Mehta movie ever again in my life. :P

Although I kinda wana see this one...is it any good unlike her earlier movies? :roll:

Um yeah..anyone seen it?

[Querida]

Has anybody seen the movie WATER :?:

I've watched WATER, I've watched EARTH (adapted from the novel "Cracking India" by Bapsi Sidhwa (I as always liked the book better), I didn't watch FIRE, but I really liked WATER. I highly recommend even if you leave at the end movie sad, disgusted or even angry...the message has gotten through. No one should ever be forced to live hopelessly.

[great]

oh thanks Q, I really liked the songs and wanted to watch this movie just for ARR . I havent seen any of Deepa Mehta`s film but want to watch 1947 Earth though apart from water.

[maithree]

I saw Eklavya. 8-)

Big B = :thumbsup:

Saifu = :thumbsup:

Vidhya Balan = :jollu:

Everyone did a good job. It had a good story, Screenplay, Dialouges, A lotta Cool Scenes...etc

But Something is stopping me from saying that it's a Very Good Movie. :? I'm not sure what...It had all the ingredients to be a Very Good film...But for some reason I can't call it that. :?

[ajaybaskar]

Is Eklavya a hit?

[coucou]

Fanaa, it's first time amir khan has played with kajol,...nice movie very romantic, i liked story
after RDB, it's nice one from aamir khan!!

Has anyone watched "Cheeni Kam"? In what way is it different from "Nishabd"?

[Wibha]

HUNGAMA
:banghead: :banghead: was supposed to b a comedy.but had.......100% stupid jokes :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Querida]

I watched "Meri Surat, Teri Aankhen" (1963) ( i guess something like my reflection, your eyes) it was the hindhi version of "Devamagan" and being an irrepressible NT fan I of course started comparing right away....(there is more of a story and distinct character in DevaM as well as three roles played by NT...)

I liked the songs in this movie very much...I highly recommend them...there is a part in one of the songs: "Poocho Na Kaise" (the sad version) sounds like the ending song "Ullathil Nalla Ullam" in Karnan which is a tear-jerking fave of mine.

"Meri Surat, Teri Aankhen" Album:

Better late than never.

Absolute riot !
I didnt like Main Hoon Na much. But in this one Farah Khan and SRK nailed it. Inane, insane and pure fun. It had its dull parts too but the laughing-at-oneself outdid everything else.

the latest one I saw though was Cheeni kum ( two days ago!) and Chak De before that!

[Querida]

I *FINALLY!!!* got to watch Kal Ho Na Ho...the songs of course were all catchy...and love the title song...you love to hate SRK with his self-scarificing act....God it was sooooooooo hard not to cry....so cry i did....am glad I finally got to watch it!

Have got Om Shanti Om and hope to watch it soon...heard it was a riot...especially (this part was improv by friends) the whole rasgollah bit!

Another great but got it late is lagaan with aamir khan....hope it's as good as the ravings were about it....

Is Jodha Akbar any good? I don't have much expectations for it, cause well Aish is like a pretty piece and Hrithik looks ridiculous in his mooch...stache...thing that is living above his lip...:p besides all that i doubt it is more than eye candy...

My kind of movie... no violence, no unnecessary comedy, songs well blended with the movie, from start to finish in the same speed, no too many plots or characters, and ofcourse had me rolling on the floor laughing once Paresh Rawal arrived on the scene! It is sooooooo funny everytime he mentions about age when he meets Amitabh! :rotfl: and I like the bit when Tabu tells Amitabh "ofcourse he is not your age, he is younger than you, he is only 56..." :lol:

[Anoushka]

Q: Don't worry, I am there with you! :lol: Each time I go to India, come back with a whole pile of VCD/DVDs (movies from the previous year!) and then spend a whole year to watch them, sometimes some DVDs go into hiding (or get borrowed) and don't reappear till a year or two later and that is when I get to see the movie :lol:

btw, I got mozhi this time and the DVD has gone to my Irish friend's house... I am sure she will take atleast 6 months to watch it! :lol:

Rab Ne Bana di jodi

Positive(s)
It's Sharukh all the way. I don't think anyone else can pull it off. :cool:
First half simply :rotfl: :thumbsup:
Nice cinematography, songs picturisations, art etc etc. (Well, this point doesn't count really as most Hindi movies score here) The grand & beautiful presentation just shows Aditya Chopra's trademark all over. :wink:
Second half will be starting to be heavy with some comedy scenes here & there. :)
Comedies are well presented as the story flows. No seperate comedy tracks whatsoever. :D
Eventhough it's yet another love subject, it is shown in a different form of story which is a big relief. 8-)
If OSO started Deepika's career in a big way, RNBDJ will be definatelty a milestone to Anoushka, a newbie. :wink:

Negative(s)
Core story which based on love. :cry:

Overall, one can just sit back and enjoy it. Not sure whether this movie will repeat the Box Office magic of Om Shanti Om. I think there is a chance. :)

[great]

Thanks for the warning , I will skip this one !!

[ajithfederer]

Rab ne Bana di Jodi

Few hiccups here and there, the movie is enjoyable and entertaining.

Could have avoided that ensemble cast song though.

[m_23_bayarea]

GHAJINI

* Definitely a new kinda movie for the Hindi audience

* A welcome break from all the Punjabi love stories and slapstick comedies in the last few years

* A realistic action movie amidst silly stunts of the so called superstars in Hindi

* A body builder hero actually using his body and those packs to perform some action moves and not just posing as some model!

All in all, it was definitely a proud moment for me as a South Indian to see the kind of reaction from the Northern audience to a movie that has all the technicians from Tamil except the hero and a few other character artists! Aamir Khan is known to breaking the stereotypes, and here's he's done it again! 8-) 8-) 8-)

[P_R]

Khosla ka Ghosla...finally.

Very enjoyable.

Dasvidaniya

Funny, and touching. :clap:

Hulla - Parthachu. Oru murai parkalam. :P "Lovely little film" enbadhu noothukku nooru unmai...

Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! - Not quite sure about its overall merits yet. The narrative technique (especially the way it is shot), stunner dialogues, and understated acting (Abhay Deol) appeals instantly. Paresh Rawal is good as well (Couldn't resist imagining Boman Irani in stead, I hear voices say out-of-bounds).

Abhay Deol's choice of films in his short career is scary.

Re posting from Tamil Films section



Many critics complained about what's actually the most obvious characteristic of the film -- that too much is made out of something that's trivial. Some reviews pointed it out so elaborately as if the film itself wasn't conscious of it!
OhO! It seems I spared myself a couple of hours of rage at the movie being misunderstood.


For all its shortcomings, it's a very remarkable film to my mind with layers of subtext seamlessly woven into an essentially absurdist narrative. padam pArththu mudichchuttInga'nnA mEla pEsalAm.
And yes, loved Kartika Rane in the film. She was a revelation here (like you, have seen her only on television before this). Sushant is of course damn good, as always. But it's Rajat Kapoor who gives the performance of the film. A very moving performance.

There is this oft-misused statement "Your freedom ends where my nose begins". Unfortunately some human beings have the penchant of constantly shifting the location of their nose and still others' noses have pinnochian(?) extension capabilities.

I loved that Raj Puri (just as everyone else in the film) is oblivious to dichotomy of civil rights and personal space. The police station scene where he is complaining about the inspector writing down Raj "Shiv" Puri but promptly proceeds to massacre the inspector's name - nicely written. Throwaway moments of humor like the signal book vendor selling Kiran Desai amidst titillating material like Debonair etc.. reminded me of the Woody Allen short story (The whore of Mensa) that Thilak (Thanks btw) recommended. Even throwaway character's like that superior receptionist at the 5-star hotel (very reminiscent of Buck Henry's role in The Graduate) are exceedingly well written.

The feel is very TV movie-of- the-week-ish but as you say it is very layered and extremely well written. That CM bit towards the end was funny but irrelevant nonetheless. I couldn't help :rotfl: at the parting shot of Mathew on the road. Black humor, as is evident, appeals to me. And yes, Rajat Kapoor as the emasculated secretary is excellent. In fact the performances uniformly elevate the movie.

[thilak4life]

Welcome to Sajjanpur :| While it isn't any worse than Benegal has churned in past few years, it's still long way short from "Mandi" days. With all the talk of Bollywood treading down a westernized path, the "earthiness" much evident in the film, doesn't compensate the shortcomings of the film. The acting department is strictly OK for a SB film, Shreyas Talpade has his moments.

Watched OLLO - Sort of a satire. Needs more than one viewing to completely absorb the film. Abhay was brilliant. Paresh Rawal was hopeless in the dad character and was OK in the Jogi bhai character. He did well as Dr. Handa. Actually the director must be applauded for *connecting* the three Paresh characters with a common theme. An intelligent film which keeps the viewers thinking. But I feel KKG is better than this one. It was more direct/engaging/entertaining.

Maddy, The earliest instance I have heard of this technique being employed is The Prisoner of Zenda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner_of_Zenda). If I remember accurately, DD or the original Star Plus used to carry a series which I quite enjoyed watching and prompted me to read the book.

However MithyA is significantly different in that it borrows heavily from Kurosawa's kAgEmUshA (1980). kAgEmUshA reflects heavily on the identity crisis of the impersonator (far more than the other versions which are almost larks in comparison). There is also similarity in the way both movies (MithyA and kAgEmUshA) use water. A lot of the events in both happen in beachfront properties/lakefront forts. There is even similarity in the way the double ultimately loses all identity (death). I thought the water usage is significant because water (or fluids in general) are the only thing that can take the structure of anything without any loss in their core essence. So contrasting a person's inability to do as much was quite significant I felt.

Ghajini on big screen. Went with zero expectations and came back liking the film. Much better than the tamil version. ARM has made a few changes, which worked very well. He has done away with some silly dialogues (like the pathu digit => cellphone number), tried to justify why nobody has seen Sanjay and of course shortened the climax. Aamir was excellent in action scenes, looked very much like an animal, the body language and stuff. Really struggled in the romantic scenes. He is too old to play Sanjay, IMO. Asin was as good as she was in the tamil version and the biggest surprise was Jiah Khan. Semma figurubA. Nishabd pArthE aaganum. kadEsi scene-la Shreya azha vechittaanga. Actually I was mad at ARM for cutting kaise mujhe before her portion when they played the song for the first time. That song is one of the biggest plusses for the film. BGM for action scenes were good, and was OK for the romance part. Andha sathyan character-a keduthuttAn oru naansannss :lol:

The response was terrific, but many of my non-SI friends did not like the film. I dont think it matters, the film has already shattered many records.

Apart from Kagemusha - which until compli. elaborated, I thought was something one could eat - another film may be worth mentioning here.
'Regarding Henry' by Harrisson Ford. A cutthroat lawyer has an accident/amnesia which totally changes him. He becomes mild mannered, develops a sense of fairness and justice - which becomes counterproductive at work, becomes a sensitive husband and father - which confuses equations at home.

Perhaps inspired by the Phineas Gage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage) story.

I wouldn't say it was a well made film. But the confusion in the definition of a 'person' faced by himself and others who relate to him, was very interesting. That part was quite engaging in MithyA.

Not true. The film got pretty good reviews if my memory serves me right. One can perhaps say that it was not treated with the same amount of respect as more "serious" films like 'Taare Zameen Par' were (which, to be fair to the Indian critics world, happens in all parts of the world). I absolutely loved the film. Sriram Raghavan virtually has us under spellbinding control right through the film. Add a bunch of brilliant performances (unlike most people, I thought Neil Nitin Mukesh was superb too, just that the performances besides him overshadowed his quite a bit), you've got an excellent film in all respects. It would certainly be in my 5 favourite films of 2007.

He's a Tamil by origin, but otherwise as Hindi as any filmmaker from Bollywood is. He grew up in Pune and went to FTII. ('Ek Haseena Thi' pAththirukkIngalla?) I think he doesn't even know Tamil reasonably well (if the Tamil of Shiva's girlfriend in the film is anything to go by). His brother Sridhar Raghavan is doing well himself as a successful screenwriter.

Sriram Raghavan said in his interviews that he drew insipiration from Raskolnikov of 'Crime And Punishment' for the lead character. The constant sense of confusion that his otherwise stubbornly impassive face betrays does indeed look genuinely inspired by Raskolnikov. Very very well conceived and performed.

Equa,
I am a religious follower of reviews in other sites. (At least the star rating) Raja sen wrote, JG was overwritten and overdirected for most parts!!!! Don't remember what Masand wrote, but both of them gave a 3/5 for this film. Singh is king, OSO etc got threes on five. If the movie was something spectacular, they would have given it a 4/5 like they did for Aamir/Mithya this year. I thought this was a 4/5 movie easily.

Apart from those two folks, Naachgaana gave a two on five. OneIndia gave a 2.5/5. BusinessOfCinema gave a three on five. Also this movie was overlooked when it came to *awards* last year. But Taran Adarsh and TOI gave it a 3.5/5.

CR,
Dhoka (the disco song towards the end of the movie) is good and all others are instrumentals I think.

Ok, I guess I'd not have looked at 3 out 5 as "didn't like the film" (though personally of course I liked it a lot more than that!). Also I've to add that I don't follow the reviews from all these quarters seriously. I just think that the general response was markedly positive for the film. It's just the larger junta that kept away.

Also this movie was overlooked when it came to *awards* last year.
This is where I completely agree with you pumping up all my angst, etc. I remember ranting to one of my friends to no end when this film was not even nominated the awards circuit last year. Mind you I'm not talking about winning, but it was not even nominated! But I guess we shouldn't even be talking about these award functions. Their criteria invariably includes the clause that the film should also be a box office success. Nothing else would explain why none of the critically-well-received-but-failed-at-the-box-office films find a place in their nominations list. Look at all the films that got *some* good response critically but weren't nominated. Chatri Chor, No Smoking and so on. They were all flops.

I think (if my memory serves me right) Masand gave 3 stars to Aamir. (Mithya, of course, he gave 4.) It was Raja Sen who went gaga over it (and gave 4 stars). But that's the whole point we often miss. We tend to club media reviewers together as one whole when our own reactions to films are as diverse as it gets. For instance, I didn't think Aamir was that good at all. At best, 2.5 stars wonly if you ask me.

And by the way, I was wondering about the Raja Sen review you've mentioned because as I remember, he loved the film (besides really championing the album!). So, did a bit of web search. The review (http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/sep/28jg.htm) you're referring to was written by one Mr. D Morgan. :) Here's (http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/oct/08jg.htm) Raja Sen's take on the film (where after some contemplation he settled for 4 stars, in case that allays your boiling blood a bit!), which was not an official review but a piece for his column.

[Nerd]

:oops: Thats much better. Similarly, Raja Sen missed out on (writing the official review for) OLLO this year but later gave a 4/5 in his column!

[equanimus]

He gave it 4.5 stars, in fact. As I've said elsewhere, it's my single favourite film of the year too.

Expected a lot from the KKG gang.

Very built-to-purpose characters, the charm thing was overplayed beyond credibility, the frivolity outdid the many many moments, really difficult to take the charecterization of Lucky seriously to feel his disappointments, loneliness etc.

The Paresh Rawal- Archana Puran Singh (how does she keep getting work ?) duo was unbearably superficially crafted/enacted.Many, many funny and clever scenes and sequences didn't string together impressively. After a point the look-I-am-smooth Abhay Deol got to me - that sank the movie.

And by the way, I don't think it's a "gang-watch" film (though my understanding of the idea itself could be quite flawed).

Khosla characters were very 'real' and interesting.

Naveen Nischol's forced suavity (Aap broker hain ya party ?), Tara Sharma bullying him into the role, that Vijendar guy's oiliness, the brashness of Ranvir Shorey ..none of this was put-on or engineered for the sake of it. Came across as very believable. "teri to ban gayi yaar" is how Ranvir reacts to Parvin Dabas's America plan...

Cheri: abi to interview denA hai
Sister: aapka interview to achchA hi hOga

Such a naive and lovely line. How much in their simple ignorance of his folks he is enveloped in their love. Anupam Kher having to eat his own words and talk politely to Vijendar, Boman Irani shouting at his servant for not ubasarichufying the Khoslas. Everything just showed the shade of the characters more and more. Nothing seemed to be just for show. I can't say that about OLLO.

OLLO squandered too many possibilities.

In the scene where Dolly makes advances to him and when spurned talks about his "valuation" is a great scene. Starts with how she was "touch ho gayi" when he asked her if she had eaten. Then "what's Lucky's standalone value" is mentioned by Bengali, Jogi etc. too many times.

The Parsh Rawal-Archana Puran Singh story is just horribly superficial. "Goondagardi nahi karna hai" and all. What the hell !

The whole world "uses" him. Jogi to Bengali yeah fine. But Dolly's mom asking for toaster. Come on ! That was lazy writing.

The airline lounge (!) girl who pesters him about membership card tells him he has become naughty after going to Dubai and lucky replies that people like her don't let him be shareef.
"enakku ennA thONdhu naa...neengellAm EdhO dappuL meaning-la pEsura maadhri thONdhu".

The recovery scene where he gets called honest by a couple. Twistedly funny is what they were going for I guess. It fell flat for me.


His brother avoids him, uncomfortable in the drinking scene, very surfacey about how "he has not raised a family". Dolly taking it out her husband - who is caricatured.

Sonal type holier-than-thou hypcrisy, Lucky misfitting everywhere, the cleverness doing him no good but it hits us more than it hits him.....all this could have been made into a much better film.

Instead the film is a sting of funny and cool scenes and lot of steam that prevents you (I mean me ! ) from connecting much with any of them or believing them to be real.

Which is why OLLO did not impress me as much as KKG.

[equanimus]

PR,
I completely loved Khosla Ka Ghosla. It's a delicious film in which every moment is so well fleshed out. Every single character is so well etched and no one is out there to just make you laugh. So I completely agree with you there. (On that note, am I the only one to think it's quite a take-off on The Godfather set in the great Indian middle-class milieu?)
But I found Oye Lucky a superior film in many ways and found it engaging us at many levels.


The whole world "uses" him. Jogi to Bengali yeah fine. But Dolly's mom asking for toaster. Come on ! That was lazy writing.
I think this is where my viewing of the film differs from yours. Let me take up Lucky's stint with Dr. Handa. I'm surprised that many people seem to have seen it as a story with a twist of the conman getting conned. Hardly! It's fairly obvious that Lucky is going to get sidelined in the venture. He can't even use his bank account to begin with. That's how f*cked up he is. When the inevitable happens, he isn't able to take it with silence. That's all. Even in the hotel inauguration scene, it is Dr. Handa who washes his hands off. (And why wouldn't he?) It's not suggested that his friend Bangali has simply swindled all his money. He's still trying to explain the situation to Lucky. "Lucky, samjhaa kar yaar!" That he can't afford to be the boss. He even asks Handa to take a slap from Lucky! Lucky raises his hand just to see the fear in Handa's face. (Dibakar Banerjee brings out the dimensions of the relationship the three share with each other amazingly well.) But mere money is no good for Lucky. He just wouldn't have anyone be his boss. "us ne maar liya... hum ne khaa liya... aisi hi to relation bante hain!" (What a brilliant line!) This is the lesson Lucky never learns from his acolyte. And it is in this respect he is cheated in the restaurant deal too.

[P_R]

On that note, am I the only one to think it's quite a take-off on The Godfather set in the great Indian middle-class milieu? I think so :-)
Godfather ?! As in the Amerigo Bonasera angle ? Do elaborate.


I think this is where my viewing of the film differs from yours. Not sure what I came across as.

Handa was unsurprising as you say. When he reads the first news article and puts two and two together, you know where things are headed.

And of course Lucky's "I am the boss of me" is his downfall - but he doesn't care. The way it was repeatedly pointed out how he remains 'lowly' in the pecking order of the world, left me without an impact.

And the demands of the movie were too great. Not all of his the cool-acts are without gaping holes. They are enjoyable but aaraayakkoodAdhu. Why is it that he is celebrated chum of the cops ? Just because he is a natural-charmer ? That confused me ac)tually. It became a little of a fantasy then we are expected to 'feel' for Lucky having to bribe his younger brother to come to the wedding (as always Lucky doesn't realize the poignance of the situation he is in).

Bangali exists to be the suck-up/foil to Lucky. That seems to be the only aspect of his personality. btw who is that guy ?

I'm just referring to the story outline that looked to me like a take-off on The Godfather albeit set in the Indian middle-class milieu. So, the Vito Corleone here (Mr. Khosla) is a meek middle-class patriarch. Bunty Khosla is the disappointing elder son. Cherry Khosla is the second son who wants to go away. In one of the scenes even that photograph bit in the first scene of The Godfather seemed to take a different form. Cherry actually cuts away the piece of his face from the family photograph!

In the scene where Dolly makes advances to him and when spurned talks about his "valuation" is a great scene. Starts with how she was "touch ho gayi" when he asked her if she had eaten. Then "what's Lucky's standalone value" is mentioned by Bengali, Jogi etc. too many times.


The best scene in the movie. Stunning, actually, for me

Agree about the holes but somehow 'Lucky' made the film enjoyable.

The frustration is of course entirely justified. The honesty of the film might be, as you rightly point out, a little to heavy for the fragile pseudo-morality in TN. But let us look at what things we can co-opt:
1. The aesthetics are at best DD TV Serial - acheivable at low cost.
2. The actors are a small but excellent ensemble - something that needs to be developed but I am sure is available - no inherent star value so one can lower cost.
3. Movie length is about an hour and a half - a lot of film rolls saved.

The most important thing I think is that somewhat serious material is presented as a dark comedy. I think humor is the best way to convince an audience to be less judgemental. Balu Mahendra understood this and hence the reason for the "feel" of irattai vAl kuruvi (even though it is supposedly a take on Micky and Maude).

Yes I heard about the film too. There is another facebook group that I saw about someone making a similar attempt but with Madhavan. Also dont know how far that is going. How many people actually saw Mixed Doubles in the theatre to begin with?

This guy Ravir Shorey is really something. He acts so damn well.

In all earnest.

His demeanour when approaching the subject to Konkana (I didn't like her in the Mr. and Mrs.Iyer film and Page 3 is one of my pet hates - but I think I have to revise my opinion of her)

His reaction when his swinging friend says he was lying

His "eagerness and earnestness" when talking to prospects

Yes. They're damn good too. Raghu Romeo especially is a must-watch. I'm a big fan of Rajat Kapoor. He is a little auteur of sorts. I've video copies of all his films (except 'Mithya' which I've not bought yet) in fact.

Somehow many people refer to this film as a sort of "Rajat Kapoor film" (much to the irritation of the fanboy in me). He was just an associate producer of the film. It was produced by Sunil Doshi (Handmade Films) who also produced Kapoor's Mixed Doubles.
