Jimmy Cliff Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 80s had a lot of mainstream turd movies but also had a fantastic bunch of parallel and "middle of the road" cinema. In fact, the top 20 Hindi movie list of the 80s would demolish the one from the 90s. Folks like Nihalani, Paranjpe and Benegal were in their prime whereas a lot of whiz kids like RGV, VVC, Rahul Rawail, JP Dutta, Mukul Anand and Shekhar Kapur made strong starts in the mid to late 80s. Unfortunately though it seems people only associate the decade with its shlock films. Which is weird because for all the hullabulloo about Andhadhun, VVC had already made arguably the GOAT Hindi suspense thriller Khamosh way back in the bad old 80s.

Current Indian serials are rubbish, unwatchable. Have you seen some of the shows by TVF? Shows like Tripling and Yeh Meri Family are pretty good. And TVF Pitchers is borderline world class.

Tripling, Permanent Room Mates, Yeh Meri Family and Pitchers are their best known original series and are all worth watching.

jf1gp_1 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I watched Delhi crime. Its absolutely brilliant. Entire focus on investigation, bare minimum on crime which i felt was the highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Watch chota bheem. It will fit into the idea of hindoo indoctrination for kids as per your fellow countrymen. You might find it intellectually stimulating as well. Edited April 12, 2019 by Clarke Alam_dar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Reading through this thread pains me a little.. We'll never get those days back when we saw Mahabharat, Ramayan, Surbhi, Bharat Ek Khoj, Dekh bhai Dekh, Vikaram Betaal, Nukkad, Buniyaad, Neev... I think we were the last generation of pre-cell phone era, pre-300 cable channel era.. those were good days.. Now everyone and everything is divided.. Or may be its just me.. .. By the way. .anyone remember a college campus show called 'Neev'? Ohh man.. i just looked up on youtube whlie typing here... and looks like its loaded there.. Pure nostalagic..

Aside of Phool aur Kaante and Khuda Gawah, I haven't even heard of the other movies. Most of the movies from that era were popular only because of their songs. Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Anuradha Paudwal and Udit Narayan zindaband basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Drive Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I remember that Mera Naam Joker was not talked about much as soon as it was played in cinema halls. But I think Rishi Kapoor played a role wonderfully well in his first movie at the age he was then. What an amazing film. IMO it is probably the best direction by Raj Kapoor. One of the best movies in Bollywood. And Simi Garewal was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
