Aside of the novelty of being the first gangster movie and some very over the top acting it doesn't have much going for it. I haven't read the book, but from what I gather, the movie doesn't do justice to the book. Even that old Don guy (Brando) whose performance everyone goes gaga over, I find very average. Infact I'd say it was *his* worst performance. I've seen Last Tango in Paris and A Street Car Named Desire. And boy can he act/emote. Satya is a better and subtler gangster movie.

The ambience is as much a part of the experience as the movie. And people generally adapt to the movie type. The casual movies have a lot of loud mouths. People tend to be quieter when seeing serious stuff. The last movie I saw in the theatre was Thappad. The audience, not much to begin with, was very well behaved.

Mariyam Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @Ankit_sharma03 Didn't Naya Daur re-release in colour some years ago? I don't think it did too well. Neither did Mughal-e-Azam. Also re: David Dhawan. He needed that star cast. A Govinda. A Kader Khan. to make those movies special. Who today can replace these people? I agree with you about RGV. He was way ahead of his time.

Nope mughal e azam re released was a big hit Obv these films wont work in theatres if made same way, 3 hrs film in todays time with so many songs no one will go but if that script is made acc to today style it ll work as they have a very strong base of script . KJo himself confesses how stupid was KKHH hia i liked dil to pagal hai na hum apke hai kon but DDLJ, KKHH n Hum dil de chuke sanam were damn overrated films Quote Also re: David Dhawan. He needed that star cast. A Govinda. A Kader Khan. to make those movies special. Who today can replace these people? he had stars problem and his films were hits as well but his films were looked down upon n so was other comedies. Why was govinda hardly nominated for lead roles ...they use to nominate him for comic roles , he was bloody good as an actor in those films as good as srk or salman in their films infact govinda was way better. At that times comedies were looked as relief not real films ....today someone like rohit shetty who has made bang avg films has recognition n big hits.

maniac Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @Ankit_sharma03 did you just compare Rgv with David Dhawan? One was a hack who stole from South Indian comedy films and made them over the top and gaudy and found success and the other RGV was a guy who changed the entire film Industry as it is today. Obviously he had an expiry date but it’s blasphemy to put the 2 as film makers in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other movie is as raw and with so many good performances by the ensemble , every char was etched and distinct. It is a director’s dream product. Company comes very close second, but for miscast of Monhanlel.Raat or Rathri was a failure for me because of the cast, but Kaun was too good in that genre. Dhawan is a different class, can’t be compared in the same genre. Compare Dhawan with Manmohan Desai, a product of their times. Who did well, but nothing noteworthy like RGV. maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
