Hi guys,
just wondering if anyone has seen Swades?

I haven't, but I think this thread is a great idea.

 

[priyanka]

Yet to eyeball "swades". Should be up to snuff.

 

[PublicEnemy]

yeah swades looks really good. i like the music a lot. i want to see kisna too.

the only desi movies I've seen in my life, hehe: (w/ subtitles, of course )

Dhoom - a HUGE ripoff of 4 american movies, but still unique for indian cinema.
Kal ho na ho - priety zinta(sp?), enough said
hum tum - cool movie, methinks.
dil chahta hai - very nice movie.

since i'm here anyway, i'll throw in that i love the music to chameli, dil ne jise..., swades, umm, what else..raaga's full blast

and chicken tandoori and veggie. jalfreezie (sp?). yum.

*edit* AND HAYWARD 5000!!! i had this the other day - never knew indians could make beer. i'm so proud of india

 

[1hotaartichoke]

veer zara was good, but typical for one of his movies (devdas, hum dil de chuke sanam) etc. but still good, and the music is nice too.

everyone, and i mean EVERYONE, should go see Mein Houn Na. it was really good and funny...very surprising for an indian movie...and of course Munnabhia MBBS.

oh yeah, and saathiya too

 

[sinnah83]

definitely watch munnabhai mbbs. its hilarious with all the bombay slang...sort of a desi patch adams.
i can't believe nobody here has seen swades yet. i've heard its good from people but haven't seen it myself yet.

 

[parasiteatwork]

Swades is good but quite predictable. I think you should watch hulchul...excellent comedy, and kuch to garbad hai(nice timepass)and i m sure everyone has watched hungama.

Hungama is just plain awesome!

 

[parasiteatwork]

[DrAliyah]

have u guys seen veerzara? it was a very sad movie.

 

[PublicEnemy]

veer zaara was really good. although it was pretty overly emotional. but as a whole production, it was very good, the music, the colors, contrast, cinematography, nice.

 

[-me-]

I for some reason didnt find Hungama to be that hilarious as some of the reviews on websites made it out to be... But got to admit, I nearly killed myself rolling literally on the ground with laughter towards the ending of this movie... I was trying to reach for the DVD remote to try and switch it off since I had a really bad stomach-ache as well as a "cheek-ache" because of all the laughing... But the remote was beyond my reach...

Anyway, I really want to watch Hulchul...

PS Priyadarshan's movies ROCK!!! *special mention to Hera Pheri*

Sorry to hijack, but Priyanka, I once told you I had a cousin who went to bhavans? His name was Amit Kulkarni, but I'd doubt you knew him given that he hardly talked to anyone. He lived on Grant Road in Shastri Hall in Mumbai (that's where my father comes from).

And, um, I once *almost* saw an indian movie about some actor with the last name "khan" who had or was indirectly related to the subject of AIDS. It was supposed to be ok.

I stop now.

so ur basically saying that any movie that doesn't have shahrukh in it is a horrible movie ? or not worth watchng? I agree with DrPreet... even though srk is a good actor and does nice romantic roles, that is all he does. he has the same expressions on his face ... he doesn't try out new roles like Amir khan or even Hrithik do. There are plenty of great movies to watch that don't have srk in them... hulchul and dhoom are examples of the most recent ones I saw.

 

[CaliAtenza]

dhoom was hella good..finally a decent action movie that i can relate too with hotties in it..WHEN DID ESHA DEOL GET HOT AGAIN??? anyways..i wanna see Veer-Zara, Hulchul, Munhabai MBBS, and Aitaraz (the DVD from india is at home).

Hola ice,
yea I remember you telling me about your cousin. I knew a lot of amit guys...and by the way i was in andheri bhavans. I am guessing he was in the grant road bhavans? there were two bhavans' and I think you are talking about salman khan lol..

[1hotaartichoke]

dhoom was hella good..

OMG esha deol was officially plastered inside my eyelids for a long period after I saw that movie. Hoooooootttttt. And I was shocked at how racy the first scene was

Yeah, it was a good movie - but I hated that it was a ripoff of Oceans 11, MI 2, fast and furious, and...another one i think. IF it were more original , then it'd be 'awesomer'.

It hardly matters whether dhoom was a ripoff of any english movie or not coz indians love movies only when it has their (indian)actors in it.ofcourse i m talking about the 'mawalis' who are the maximum cinema watchers in india.So it doesnt matter even if it wasnt original

 

[parasiteatwork]

hmmmmmmmm
shk
well u will surprise to hear he born in peshawar pakistan

i dont give a **** about that sweetie

 

[junebuguf]

I agree with the earlier post about Sharukh Khan having basically the same maligned expression on his face in every movie....then again, you could say that about every other Indian actor.

Hrithik is really good, and his movies actually have really good production values...but everytime hes on screen, I keep watching for the 6th finger!!! Can't he do something about that?

Priety (sp?) Zinta looks like a childhood friend of mine, so watching her in anything is like watching a romantic dramedy with my sister.

Kareena's hot!!! But she seems like she'd be kinda prissy and prudish in person.

Saif Ali Khan is my favorite actor. He has really good comedic timing and is content being a supporting actor in good movies, rather than the lead in bad ones.

I dont get Esha Deol...I just don't....get....her. Shes not a good actor at all, and always looked pissed off.

Also...I havent watched most (actually...any) of the movies you guys listed, but I cant believe no one mentioned Kal Ho Na Ho. I thought it was really good.

So thats my 2 cents. Even though I've only seen like three movies since last summer, I watch a lot more during breaks when I visit home...ZeeTV and SET are awesome!

 

[CaliAtenza]

hella huh?

you must be from northern cali

no im not, actually..lol Im from southern cali too But so many nor call peeps down here, so "hella" rubbed off on me.
