That (movie) don't impress me much
Very very very few of the latest movies have made the cut for me. I think I used to enjoy movies better when I was younger. Probably because I was more ignorant and less demanding. The perplexing thing is: I still love the movies I loved when I was younger! Guess I just remember the aftertaste more than the movie itself. I can't fathom.
I love the movie Mr.India { most from my gen do :) } . But, dint like Koi Mil Gaya that much. Kids of KMG's gen apparently enjoyed it a lot. But Mr.India was more fascinating, I say! From the red coloured glass funda ( beats the physics laws of eternity, ergo, magical ) to Sridevi dancing like Charlie Chaplin; from the witticisms ( which kept the audience glued to the movie ) to the supremely gut-bursting-funny encounters between the editor and 'wrong number' callers. The movie had it all for me. All to wonder and gush about when it was over. And, all the enthu to watch it all over again! The movie's still entertaining today. All the actors were very natural. Mogambo terrified the hell out of every kid, and became a scarier substitute for Bogey Man. Bogey Man - nobody knew what he looked like. But knew Mogambo's bloodshot eyes staring at you, which made the inner recesses of your soul and body grow very cold and dark. Brrr!
Amrish Puri - the quintessential villain! Nobody dare replace him!
{ Ah! the joys of childhood! It (childhood - extending from 0 to 16) was a perpetual picnic. Until adulthood happened and gave to you: there is no perpetual machine. That's why many adults turn to sarcasm, I suppose. There's a lot of joy bursting somebody's bubble :D }
Well, to all those movie makers out there: Entertain me!
Note: There was one movie however, in 2008, which I loved - Snatch. Make more like 'em.
