The Greatest Hindi movie ever??
Am back after a week long break.. Exams do take a hell lot out you.. After the chatting, movie watching & finally studying, there is no time for blogging.
Well coming to the actual topic of the post..
No, no it is not a review of "Rock On", I have not seen the movie yet..
Well, just watched a movie - or part of a movie I should say. Had heard great reviews about it from my fellow college mates..
10 Minutes into the movie and I realised that I had to write a review for this movie.
10 Minutes? U say... How can one write a review about 10 minutes... I realised that the movie was so great that it deserved many more reviews.. Mind you I have not yet watched it fully.. Got to enjoy it slowly...
I don't think anybody could have guessed the movie name. The movie is "Gunda" by the great KANTI SHAH starring our very own national award winner " Mithunda".
How should I start??
I would restrict myself here to the first 10 minutes of the movie here.
The first thing which struck me about the movie is the extensive character profiling of each of the characters - especially the villains. Each character makes an entry with an awe-inspiring dialogue which aptly describes him.. Sample these
" Mera Naam hai Bulla, rakhta hu mai Khulla" - n he actually does have change!!!
"Mera Naam hai Pote, Jo apne Baap ke Bhi na Hote" - the true character of a super villain..
"Mera Naam hai Chandu Hatela, Maa meri chudail ki beti,
Baap Mera Shaitaan ka Chela, Khayega Kela??" - how lyrical and yet descriptive
In which other movie in Indian History would you find so many power-packed dialogues within the first 10 minutes..
And the acting displayed by all the actors!!! I am surprised why this movie didn't make it to the Oscar list from India...
Some wonderful scenes -
The dance of madness done by one of the villains just before his death,
the entry scene of Mithun, where he a coolie suddenly appears on an airport runway (do airports have coolies??),
the grief of both the villains at the death of their siblings.
Cant't stop the tears from my eyes remembering the last scene...
The vast locations for shooting -
The major scenes happen on an airport runway, all the people somehow reach the runway every 5 minutes or so.
And I don't even want to start about the story and spoil the fun for you... Go get a pirated print and watch the movie...
I hope to give a more comprehensive review after watching the movie fully. I will watch it only when I am in the mood for comprehending some truly fascinating and great movie experience..
Till Next Time

@ peter
u may say anything about Mithun. But when u r all down and out, there is nothing like a mithun movie to make you laugh.
I think u missed the sarcasm in the post dude...

and ROTFL @ d dialogues!
"lyrical and descriptive" ! :D

@bhai with chai
I am more or less certain that it is, but have to check other mithun movies also. Who knows, a master piece is hidden somewhere?
hey i din miss the sarcasm I had read the whole post and that way I criticize many actors for their stunts (Rajnikanth tops my list) but then I can't watch them wen i am down and out ..it vil depress me to the core !
...anyways it's me and i think that way it would hav been a diff case wid u I agree.
