I tried watching Kuch Kuch Hota Hai but gave up on it - there are too many angles stuffed into it such as death, college, Mrs. Briganza, kid, reunion with former friend, Salman’s cameo, weird background echo sounds. etc. Dil To Pagal Hai and Dil Se are relatively sophisticated and focused films. Om Shanti Om has a good mix of comedy, songs, and revenge theme. I had zero expectations from Deewana and Main Hoon Na but they entertained. I like the contrast between Rishi Kapoor’s subdued performance and SRK’s over the top performance in Deewana. Main Hoon Na’s first half is cartoonish enough to be entertaining esp. with an old guy returning to university theme. Edited July 31 by zen Mariyam 1

zen Posted August 5 Author Posted August 5 Decision to Leave (2022, Korean) I revisit this film from time to time. It combines elements of a couple of my favorite films - A Shot in the Dark (1964) and Vertigo (1958). Much like Vertigo, its end segment is both mesmerizing and haunting.
zen Posted September 5 Author Posted September 5 Ran (1985, Japanese) To me, this is Kurosawa's last masterpiece. The long last act is stunning for its drama involving multiple characters - a mad father, his two sons battling each other with different motivations, a blind man and his sister, the avenging lady, etc. Many times, it feels like a Shakespearean play taking place on stage (it is based on King Lear). Kurosawa, the legend
