The real blah stuff Big B acted in was around the time his company went bust. Lal Badshah A movie with the eternally in your face angry Nana Patekar. Can't recollect the name. But Nana Patekar has a really funny dance number with Tabu and both are wearing beanies. Major Saab A little later in his career RGV ki Aag ( don't know why Big B agreed to do this) Buddha Hoga Tera Baap I watched that movie in theatre first day first show bunking college,the audience went crazy especially the front benchers the moment they saw Nana Patekar in a typical trendy dress I also remember the hum hai banaaras ke bhayya song from that movie Apart from that the movie was so bad that I have totally wiped it out of my memory, I can’t even tell you the plot anymore Edited April 24, 2020 by maniac Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just googled the other actress was Jayaprada. Movie name Kohram @Mariyam Thats a different movie I think with a less Michael Jackson looking Shilpa Shetty in it as well Edited April 24, 2020 by maniac Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the part where AK Hangal, as the lachaar father tries to justify Shashi Kapoor's shooting of his hapless son. For some reason that scene makes me everytime.

Not sure of Salim, Javed is a card-carrying member and his writings, thoughts are all left oriented. Not surprising there has a scene like this, even in Namak Haram. Although written by Gulzar (NH), whose writings also were for those times when India was poor and rich were the enemy.

zen Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Rewatched Mahaan .... The best part was being able to reconnect with the nice songs of the film. Also watching actors like Amitabh, Amjad Khan, etc., during their prime is usually fun. Overall, a good time pass (watched it in two sessions as it is a long film) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Drive Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The movies of our time were generally based on typical concepts. Make a movie having villain from Rich family and Hero from poor family. That was what the masses liked. Most people would liked to see the poor guy win. Add scene of hero's sister getting repd and hero taking a revenge in end. Claps all around and whistling in the movie hall. Or father of Rich girl denying narrative to a boy from poor family who was in love with the girl. That also was common. Now I don't see even percentage of movie of those types and I would say it is a very good change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) There are a lot of Hindi films now on Netflix and Prime. Revisited the Great Gambler - a time pass / fun film with memorable songs .... Prem Chopra was driving the action in many of the parts PS both Mahaan and The Great Gambler, which are not tier 1 AB films, have memorable songs among AB films.

zen Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Watched Shaan y'day after a long long time ... still holds up nicely ... esp. because of the songs and background score, along with Bond type villain Shakal ... Liked Sunil Dutt's role too, always thought he should have got a longer part ... Shatru was good too as the sharp shooter ... Amitabh & Shashi are mainly to do comedy (which is good at times), sing and make plans like "hum jante hai hume kiya karna hai, par yeah nahin jaante Shakal kiya karega" Edited April 4, 2021 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) @zen Hum is not in the league of the other four movies that you've posted. You have to be trolling here. Hum is a completely cringe movie where Amitabh just shakes his head violently to become from a civilized sheheri to a don. Captain Zatack? Really? Come on now. Hum is in the category of movies that Amitabh must have done purely to raise funds or for friends. Hum, Kohram, Lal Badshah, RGV ki Aag, And that movie with Rishi Kapoor based in some place in the Middle East where a dolphin? is Amitabh's mother. - Ajooba! These were his worst by far.
