Production values. Action etc. appeals to a cult Western cowboy flicks have nothing on Sholay. Basanti tera naam kya hai Can Eastwood better this?

Being Pedantic, it is “Tumhara naam kya hai Basanti” and later “Pehli baar suna yeh naam” Can”t really compare, to each his own.

Haven't you played with a toy gun and toy rifle when you were a child fighting imaginary battles against an entire imaginary army? I love Westerns for the vast, desolate landscapes, the outdoorsy lifestyle of cooking and sleeping by campfire, and living with minimal possessions that can be wrapped up in a blanket and carried with you on horseback. coffee_rules and BacktoCricaddict 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I was into cars, cars, cars. I'd dream of being a Formula 1 driver. I'd drive for hours to imaginary places all over the world sitting in one place. No food, no sleep, just drive .... For the past 15 yrs, I am living my dream .... just traded the Formula 1 machine for a Toyota minivan :-). coffee_rules, Mariyam and nevada 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these are not 'Thrillers' in the truest sense. In case you guys like a good whodunnit, After Gupt, the next best is Murder on the Orient Express.

But I'd read the book and it was unputdownable. So good that I have to invent a word to describe it. And the new movie was a good recreation of the book.
