Kisna deserves to be in the first list, of movies so bad they’re good. Don’t know when else I’ve laughed so much.

I don’t get it GB. Your list of Bad movies isnt exactly correct or maybe you n I collide on this one. You have movies like No Entry, Choclate & Black on the list when actually they weren’t the ones that deserved the spot (in fact I watched all3 in theatres n i loved them. maybe coz i havent seen the usual suspects :-/).

There were better masterpieces out there that deserved applaud. Honestly I liked NE, Choclate n Black (though Black isnt the type u want 2 watch again n again). Maybe u should re-do ur worst movies of ’05, jus consider these magnum opuses next time when u decide 2 do a list:

1. Salaam Namaste
2. Paheli
3. Dus
4. Banti aur Babli
5. Neal ‘N’ Nikki
6. Dil Maange More
7. Kisna (Not sure if it was in 2005)
8. Barsaat: The rain of love
9. Shaadi No. 1
10. Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya
11. Insaan
12. Main Aisa Kyun Hoon
13. Aashiq Banaya Aapne
14. Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav

Damn the list is endless. And if God blesses u and u still manage to survive through all those “hazardous” movies. You could compile a new “Bong’s Special List” LOL

I have to travel between Bombay and Pune quite often, and at last count, have been forced to watch ‘No Entry’ about 8 times on trips aboard Neeta Volvo. Do you know if I can sue Neeta Volvo folks for mental torture ?

@Green: Yes I have faced that reaction too.

@Canzona: I dont know–I guess not. I saw it on Bollygrounds—it may be out on DVD.

@Anon: Yes Aamir has totally lost it. WRT Sourav, I think he should have played the Ranji games as should have the others . They need a good run before Pakistan.

@Mayank: They screwed up the plot totally—even the greatest of performances could have rescued this sorry movie.

@Rani: B&B I did not like at all. Just like Bluffmaster (a copy of The Game and Matchstick Men)

Hazaron Khawaishein Aisi I have to see.

And Iqbal I am not being able to see anywhere despite so wanting to see it.

I visited your blog after 2-3 days and when the heading “2005—The Bong’s Selection (Part 2)” caught my eye, I thought it must be a post on Sourav Ganguly being recalled to the national team for the second time this year

Perhaps you are right about the Ganguly-Bengali association in popular consciousness

wrf Black, I daresay, Amitabh is getting a bit of a stereotype …

more like the Mukesh Khanna (Bhisma) of Ramanand Sagar’s Mahabharat, if you know what i mean …

This refers to both the best and worst lists and I’m distressed that it doesn’t feature three notable films. First, Bunty Aur Babli because of its paisa-wasool entertainment, Big B’s virtuosity, Raj Babbar’s fantastic cameo and the hittest song of the year, ‘Kajrare…’ (altho’ I also liked the rap number at the movie’s fag end). Second, since you’ve included Black Friday in the list and called it the best of 2005, I mention another little seen film, “Hazaro Kwaishein…”. Oh, I found the movie terrific. If you haven’t seen it, try and get a copy. It’s an amazing portrayal of late’60s-early’70s campus life leading to very,very grim experiences in pursuit of left extremism. Third, Iqbal, which you say you haven’t seen. Given your passion for both cricket and films, Iqbal should be compulsory viewing. Cheers.

P.S. Didn’t care so much for Black Friday. It claims to be ‘the true story’. I found it in places uni-dimensional.

I had earlier seen Usual Suspects so when i saw Chocolate i couldn’t help myself from laughing. Irfan Khan was no where near Kevin Spacey and Anil Kapoor was pathetic.

Bong,

Agree with you about these ‘made for oscar’ movies – they miss the point completely. Reminds me of Bruce Lee’s dialog in ‘Enter the Dragon’ – “the finger pointing at the moon must not distract from the beautiy of the moon.”

I think Amir Khan has deparately lost his way on this count – Bhansali never had found his.

To me, Munna Bhai was the ultimate Oscar movie with great performances and the whole movie overall – but it sure was not made to get an Oscar. I guess it was made to tell a story.

BTW, can’t help it but ask you this: What is ‘dada’ doing these days – missing Ranji matches for cosy Xmas patries with the family huh?
