zen Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Katilon ke Katil (1981) Wanted to see a film staring Rishi Kapoor. This one is a multi starer so also has Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Tina Munim, and Amjad Khan. It is a typical 80s masala action fun film so will not win awards. Good for a laid back time pass. Liked some songs as well. It was a box office hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgattick10 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Paatal lok is so brilliant, probably the best wb series to come out of India. Story, characters, dialogues excellent and so are the actors - Jaydeep Ahlawat, Abhishek Bannerji, Neeraj Kabi, Swastika Mukherji, Gul.Panag, Ishwak Singh and even the actors doing small characters like Cheeni, Chaku, Firangi.. all so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Saw Sonar Kella by Satyajit Ray. I quite liked it. Totally gripping movie. Saw it with subtitles and I'm not a fan of that. Would love to see a version that is dubbed. Bengali is difficult to comprehend. Aside of a few words here and there, I didn't follow much. Or maybe the Bengali used here is a pure/text book kind. I'm kind of spooked too. Will have to keep the lights switched on in all the rooms for a while, much to the displeasure of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't you watched it earlier? I remember you recommending this movie to me a long time back. Bengali is quite easy to follow, watch a few more movies and you will find it easier. For sure simpler than all Southie languages especially for someone with your background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in one continuous sitting. Had seen it over a period of 2-3 days. It is a nice movie. I won't give out spoilers, but the narration is great for a story that has been done to death in Bollywood at least. Probably he set the trend for movies of this genre. I seen six of Satyajit Ray's movies thus far. Apu Triology Sonar Kella Shatranj ke Khiladi ( Hindi, and the worst of the six) Charulata Yes, Bengali is easier than South Indian languages. Maybe these guys speak very fast. And it seems very tonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :) Take Off, Virus and Sudani from Nigeria, all Mallu movies. Tamil ones, try Vada Chennai and Merku Thodarchi Malai. All these are recent flicks, last 5 years. Don't want to list 10-20 movies else you may feel discouraged. Just try a few of these and let me know what you think. I will recommend more based on your feedback , and there are other posters here who know much more about South cinema, in fact if you go 3-4 pages back it was them that got me interested in the first place. My view of South movies has changed thanks to them. If you want the torrent link and subtitles I can PM you.

Fantastic series. No doubt old mate @coffee_rules will throw a tantrum about this. But than again, he gets his "gyaan" from Twitter. Not a chap anyone should take seriously.

Mariyam Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 @Gollum I saw Virus. Thought it would be apt to see this particular movie given the condition that the world is in. Just today Maharashtra has almost 3000 new cases. I liked the movie over all. If you try and relate the response of the medical team today and their measures re:PPE and all that, the makers of the movie have got a lot of stuff right. The docudrama style narration is also really nice. They say that this is based on true events. Does Kerala have a centralized epidemiology department. The level of co-ordination among various departments seems too good to be true. If the health care in Kerala is really this organized, hats off! What I did not like is that there are far too many characters in this movie. Sometimes it is difficult to keep track. They should have made a series out of this. Parts of the movie, especially those to do with the silent spread of the virus are similar to the plot line in Robin Cook's book Vector. All in all I liked it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Along with the likes of Sacred Games and a couple of episodes of Quantico. Perhaps not to the liking of you and your coffee drinking high horse.

Actually thats what i liked about virus that it didnt follow any 1-2 particular character. It was about ppl who got together and worked together to get over that crisis. ...no bullshiting around.... If u wanna see such kind of subject with human stories its Chernobyl but then that was a series that had time to do it but with films its not that easy. They took more of thriller approach to keep audience engaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
