V disappointing re: <i>Ahsaas</i> (though good that that's one less movie I need to track down). <i>Akayla</i> sounds like the kind of thing I would not bother with unless it had particular appeal. Hmmm.<br /><br />Anarchavist - There are a lot, it's true! Hurrah!<br /><br />Yunus - It's fun, isn't it? :) I love them as twins too - it's good to keep our disbelief-suspending muscles in good working order.<br /><br />ajnabi - Lemme know if you want more guidance :)<br /><br />Bollyviewer - you're totally the master of this topic! As for the top three, I can easily imagine I might put them in different orders depending on my mood. I suspect they have more time actually together, or responding to one another, in <i>Do aur Do Paanch</i>, and it's all so funny or awesome in some other way, which is one reason I put it at the top.<br />I need to see <i>Trishul</i> again (and find a copy with better subtitles). Most of what I remember is Shashi's ENORMOUS movie-star grin and tight-bell bottoms.<br /><br />Ranjit - Always glad to see another list! I know I'm an oddball in not caring for <i>Deewaar</i> particularly - and maybe even moreso for being fond of <i>Ajooba</i> :)<br /><br />Mister Naidu - I like <i>Shaan</i> very much as a film, but I feel like Shashi doens't have a lot of presence in it, so I couldn't put it high on this particular list. But as a movie, yeah, I love it! Did you see the "Yamma Yamma" duo on <i>Boogie Woogie</i> awhile ago? So fun!<br /><br />shell - C'mon in - the water's fine!<br /><br />proneD - too late! I already like it. I think <i>Aladin</i> looks really fun; I'm especially happy to see Ritesh in a lead.<br /><br />indiequill - Sigh. The list of watchalong-able things just grows and grows and grows.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-15389974508878079892009-08-02T08:19:53.784-05:002009-08-02T08:19:53.784-05:00I agree with BV and Gebruss on the general suckine...I agree with BV and Gebruss on the general suckiness of Akayla. And I too would put Kaala Pathhar at the top of the list and move DADP down to the second slot to tie with Imaan Dharam. I'd also move Trishul up to the No. 6 slot. Also Silsila and Kabhi Kabhie are both so annoying, why not let them tie at second last too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-81671708486068855002009-08-01T05:42:07.269-05:002009-08-01T05:42:07.269-05:00hey beth don't watch ajooba as it is a really ...hey beth don't watch ajooba as it is a really bad attempt at fantasy . <br /><br />would you like to see the trailer review of AB's new fantasy flick ALADIN instead so check out<br />http://pronefilmviews.blogspot.com/2009/07/aladin-movie-trailer-review.html<br /> AT<br /><br />http://pronefilmviews.blogspot.com/prone Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151502934006755840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-89588519249323520442009-07-31T11:07:49.703-05:002009-07-31T11:07:49.703-05:00This is the type of post that REALLY makes me feel...This is the type of post that REALLY makes me feel like a novice.

The former may have a slight edge though, as the two looked rather old and tired in the second one. For the rest, I dont have very strong preferences, except that I would take <i>Trishul</i> over <i>Deewar</i> any day, and keep wishing that <i>Silsila</i> could be unmade!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-51418663452460064152009-07-30T09:28:28.681-05:002009-07-30T09:28:28.681-05:00I think I've only seen one!

As for the two films yo...That's a great list. <br /><br />As for the two films you are missing, Ahsaas has Shashi in two scenes and Amitabh in a special appearance, so they have no screen time together.<br /><br />Akayla has plenty of Amitabh as a police officer who isn't to bothered by doing things by the book. Shashi plays his superior officer and turns up every twenty minutes to admonish him to stick more closely to the rules. Their interaction really isn't that great. However, my judgement may be coloured by the genereal not very greatness of t he movie.gebrusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449996937991587866noreply@blogger.com
