zen Posted February 23 Posted February 23 One of my favorites: * Superb cinematography (use of within frames, good angles, etc) and production design (awesome sets) * Great song and dance sequence that adds value to the film’s story * Appropriate acting Below is another song featuring Helen, who has again done a mind blowing job: https://youtu.be/IpbSOBHkZGQ?feature=shared ravishingravi 1

coffee_rules Posted February 23 Posted February 23 9 hours ago, Mariyam said: @ravishingravi Not the greatest of cinematography, but a snapshot of Mumbai from when we were kids. Also, this song SRK's debut on the silver screen That song picturization was inspired from the MKS song - Rote huye aate hain sab. . I thought SRK debut movie was Hemamalini directed Dil Aashna Hai. ravishingravi and Mariyam 2

kepler37b Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I love this one. Composed on a traditional raaga, shows the life of a normal Andhra Brahmin couple.

Pretty difficult to reach his level of deep analysis. zen 1
Mariyam Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Can't believe people haven't mentioned this song: SRK- A R Rahman- Malaika- Gulzar- Sukhwinder Singh And luscious greenery in the backdrop shot on a moving train with CGI!

Not sure if Mumbai has been shot better than this @Mariyam Elegant sensuality. Compare this with the **** we see today. No wonder we have gang rapes. singhvivek141 and diga 1 1
bharathh Posted March 10 Posted March 10 This movie had some amazing visuals. Songs are top notch as well. bowl_out 1

This is from Mani Ratnam’s first movie (Kannada) with IR magic. This was even before Mouna Raagam. You can see the visual signature of camera work from Balu Mahendra it was Anil Kapoor’s first movie too Edited March 11 by coffee_rules diga, Mariyam and Vilander 3

Teengunalagaan Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Not Indian cinema, but this song by Hanumankind is visual banger. Now that he is famous, he could have made anything, but he chose to show his roots, his culture Mostly these foreigners who come to film in India would either go to slums to make poverty porn, or make stereotypical content like Hymn for the Weekeed (Coldplay) No bharathh and Mariyam 2
bowl_out Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Maniratnam's songs have great picturization. Alaipayuthey, Dil Se and Kannathil Muthamittal are among the best. Iruvar is brilliant too. Here is Pachai nirame from Alaipayuthey. I love how the brilliant colors and lyrics describe Shalini Mariyam 1
zen Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Has Dev Sahab studied apes to perform in this song? https://youtu.be/EsENO8IjmoY?feature=shared Mariyam 1
