Lurker Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Looks original. Meerut ka hoon lol...Whats with the retarded background song though? Should be interesting to watch.
Crookbond Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Lurker mia, Aap hi compose karo koi background score. :winky2:
Mariyam Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 This maybe actually turn out to be a fun watch. As an aside, hate the way small town/ rustic India is portrayed these days in Bollywood. Its as if everyone there is a gaali-galoch spewing barbarian moving with a country made pistol and a rampuri. Why are movies do small towns people/ villagers have only crime as the theme or the major backdrop? There is much more to rural India than that. And this portrayal is absolutely demeaning and unrepresentative. I also don't understand, why urban crowd ( and NRI crowd) treats this stuff as some kind of groundbreaking cinema. If someone swears in a movie, it suddenly becomes 'realistic'. Hated Omkara, GoW 1&2 etc. Its fantasy cinema too, just like the love triangles and Karan Johar flicks that these people love to belittle.
Lurker Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 As an aside, hate the way small town/ rustic India is portrayed these days in Bollywood. Its as if everyone there is a gaali-galoch spewing barbarian moving with a country made pistol and a rampuri. Strictly about this movie, there are no gaali galoch. Atleast from what I can make out from the trailer. There are a couple of words that may make you uncomfortable, but thats exactly how we spoke of in college and even later. This actually happens to be one of my gripes with Indian society, how people are expected to be goody two shoe all the time. It does not work like that in real life. Why are movies do small towns people/ villagers have only crime as the theme or the major backdrop? There is much more to rural India than that. And this portrayal is absolutely demeaning and unrepresentative. In many cases this is one of the last bastion of creative cinema in India today. The kind of movies you talk about are often laced with a dose of reality and makes for compelling stories. Unlike most mainstream movies these days. You also have to ask yourself what kind of background do you expect in small town based movies?? Those days are long gone when Indian movies would be about farmers or elder brother working hard to put his younger brother through college or a family drama with babus try to break a family and the servant comes across as a Man Friday. Small towns faded from the mainstream movie memory and it is Anuragh Kashyap, Tigmanshu Dhulia etc who are bringing it back and I personally love it. I also don't understand, why urban crowd ( and NRI crowd) treats this stuff as some kind of groundbreaking cinema. If someone swears in a movie, it suddenly becomes 'realistic'. Hated Omkara, GoW 1&2 etc. Not really, no. It is a section of Indian moviegoer, dominated strictly by men from North Indian states that support these movies, be it at home or abroad. I doubt too many NRI Indian girls walk into a cinema coming out suggesting they absolutely loved GOW. That gender based divide, or hypocracy, continues to exist. Its fantasy cinema too, just like the love triangles and Karan Johar flicks that these people love to belittle. Except the fact that everybody, Indians and non-Indians, laugh at Karan Johar flicks for sheer retardedness. Some of the movies that you have alluded too are our best bet of original cinema and lapped up by non-Indians. Not that I am worried about getting appreciation from non Indians but yeah it does bring a smile to see an original movie from Indian, instead of a Hollywood theme based rehashed cr@P that has turned out to be the latest blockbuster.

If someone swears in a movie, it suddenly becomes 'realistic'. Hated Omkara, GoW 1&2 etc. I haven't watched Gangs of Waaseypur, but Omkara's dialogues and conversations are an accurate and realistic portrayal of small town and rural Western UP.
Yoda-esque Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I haven't watched Gangs of Waaseypur' date=' but Omkara's dialogues and conversations are an accurate and realistic portrayal of small town and rural Western UP.[/quote'] Watch the first part of GOW..It is good.I had my reservations but the pae of the film and narrative is fantastic.
The Outsider Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 ^ Yeah, I wanted to catch it in theater but it was never released in the US - quite surprising because these days practically every movie gets released here. Will have to give in and watch it on DVD.

Will have to give in and watch it on DVD. Not surprising, no. The core audience would be North Indian men, not Southies. Plus the movie did not have SRK or Hrithik. Had that been the case even Iranians would have showed up. Its a good movie, partially because of the knowledge of the area. See, if you get the DVD, if you can recognize Yuva Turk Chandrashekhar.
