Movie Nostalgia











1. Dhishoom...dhishoom...Dhishkaoooonnn......Dhiskkaaoooonnn....These were the sounds which were lipped to the Heros of our movies when they used to be fighting with some 20 “bad guys” at one time….remember Mithun da or Shatrughan sinha!! When a hero punches… dhishoom…and when he fires a bullet… Dhishkaoooonnn!! I recall watching a movie which had a kind of faulty dubbing where dialogues were not in sync with the scenes and when a hero punched the “bad guy” sound that came was Dhishkaoooonnn…eeekkkss !! Call it perfect example of faulty dubbing….i laughted my heart out :-D !! I swear with such perfect dubbing today…we are missing on sum fun…

2. Rajesh Khanna n Mumtaj romance. Remember that behind the tree trunk and bushes reference of love. A perfect romantic scene would be where hero will pull heroine behind the tree trunk…2 sec and she wud b running away all blushing…and hero will emerge all victorious…. rubbing his lips. Though personally i hate the undercurrent type of reflection of love, ppl used to love it and probably u will have sum oldies supporting it saying that it was better than the explicit love scenes that we have today...well again debatable...

3. Utpal dutt, amol palekar, Hrishikesh Mukherjee comedies. I guess that kind of humour is just missing now a days. Though we see it bac in works of directors like Priyadarshan. The humour was so tickling and the aftereffect so mesmerizing that even today when we think of a scene from these timeless classics...it brings a smile to our face..!!

4. Madhubala flirts - Remember the sensous number...aayein meherbaan, baithiye jaanejaan...from movie Howrah bridge...i would say that there Madhubala cross passed sensuality queens like Marliyn Monroe!! I remember 1 interview where Shekhar Kapur when asked for most sensous heroine and number(asked in relation to Mr India kate nahin katate number..)...he quoted the same song...saying the lady seduces u by the expressions on her face...anybody wants to challenge expert's opinion :) ??

5. Nutan and Devanand Romance - I love the song which was choreographed on the pair, it was in Qutab Minar…movie I guess was “Tere ghar ke Samne”. Donno why but songs of this genre leave a amazing gud feeling after u watch them…

We have amazing movies made now a days also...well i cant think of many names rt now.. ;-D !!

I am eagerly waiting for movies like “over the hedge”, “Phir se Hera Pheri”, “Superman”…I m sure they wud b worth watching…or atleast I hope so…
