Dint notice this post as well as the BGM in omkara. I thought it was OK and atleast did not hinder the movie's theme/story. Will try watching it again. Also the BGM in maqbool was top class as well. BGM in RDB was too good (except in a few emotional scenes e.g. jallianwalabagh) especially in the assassination scene (aamir and co.)

About LRMB, yes the movie wasnt so good but I thought performance wise it was good third only to omkara and RDB last year :)

Of course, it had good though not great performances.

Even a film like black lacked real depth. It had more gloss than substance.

In Black the film refers to locations like Shimla and others but the entire movie is shot in some foreign locale... which is not necessary and it removes the nativity of the subject

COMEDY : theres' no separate comedy track in Bollywood movies and not much importance is given to include such scenes. bcos of which many talented comedy actors find other fora to showcase their talents & also to earn a livelihood.

1. Good actors dont necessarily come with good looks
2. Good looks dont neceessarily come with good acting - wait, thats bollywood's lesson for South
2. Well-rounded heroines can act, too. Not all such specimen are to be laughed at. Some of them can beat your slimmies hollow when it comes to acting.

simplicity - runbir kapoor-oda side kick will do more bandha than rajini, kamal, IR,ARR, mani or even KB, BR :) ........

comedy - nobody can teach but still bolly can learn from tamil films......however, films like kaminey have very good comic moments....

i cant think of anything that kollywood can teach bollywood becos kollywood is trying to ape bollywood......glamour, sleaze, parties, tabloid - adhe madhiri poittu irukkanga......both industries have good elements and elements which are mundane, trying to bring down the quality :) .....infact as kasyhayapar once noted, its "industry" which spoils quality - industry illadha language padam ellam nalla irukkumaame :)

TFI must learn to make small, multiplex movies from bollywood bhai log. With the multiplex's increasing, I think it is the best time to venture into small movies. Not neccessarily big star cast, but, fresh, experimental, controversial themes like Khosla ka Ghosla, Mixed doubles, Raat Gayi Baat Gayi, 99, etc

1: Originality

Most of the Hindi Movies that I've seen are either copies, or come out to be disgustingly pretentious!

I saw Housefull today @ Ega. Thought it was a laugh riot, well made, but not original. It was a good mixture of "The Heartbreak Kid" and "Kadhala Kadhala"

Many of bollywood movies are like that:

Blue (There was a scene which was taken right out of "Hitch" starring Will Smith! :banghead:

Kambakt Ishq (A remake of PKS, I guess, but sounded horribly pretentious!)

Dostana - I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry! :roll: And i liked the original a lot more!

Kaante - Reservoir Dogs

Musafir - U Turn

Murder - Unfaithful

Oops - So Pretentious that it made me stop watching movies abt the Metro Crowd in India for about a year!

Salaam E Ishq - Love Actually (But didn't show it, that's worth appreciation)

There are a few which are quite good, and I desperatly wish that Tamil Film Industry makes movies like this::

3 Idiots

Dhoom 2 (Yeah, it's just a senseless masala, but I liked the presentation, glamour and glitz. :P )

Black

Fanaa - Surya and Asin would be awesome in this movie! :thumbsup:
