Raj Kapoor could make grand socialist statements using the kaleidoscope ..no wonder he was an icon across the communist East Europe and China, people in those parts of the world still identify India with Raju ..as Mrs Medha has said, he gave lifes ideals to many and gave them reasons for survival.. read more...

As Dr saab already pointed out Pran's real name is not Sikandar Bhakt (Sikandar Bhakt was infact a senior BJP leader who died recently)..another interesting trivia, Pran refused to accept the filmfare for best supporting actor in 1971 when the jury refused to give Ghulam Mohammed the best music awar read more...

to Harsha Bhogle, ESPN-Star for infusing sparks in the dead engine called indian hockey..and to you as well, for spreading the good word..well the tangibles are already showing up..we finally discovered a penalty corner specialist, Len Ayappa and offcourse it was a treat watching Sohail Abbas, the read more...

With all due respect to your choices (and sad that it doesn't match mine) , i think that there's a degree of inconsitency in your ranking..i think Veer-Zaara is as good as (or ad bad as) MHN and Khakee or that Swades or Lakshya has more entertainment value than Phir Milenge..btw, agree fully read more...

'Khushboo' could've been a masterpiece but for the acting (or the lack of it) of the main protagnists..i honestly felt Hema Malini was too wooden at times and Jitendra, as you said when he isn't jumping around, is hardly alive..but hats off to Gulzar for putting faith on them.. Nice elaborate rev read more...

But hope you haven't confused the sexuality of Madame Sharma..'coz there's an altogether different category for worst actresses.. Regards Manash

You are absolutely right when you quote abt Jews,Cambodia, Rwanda etc..the US and USSR are second class powers and history is testimony of that.. Ironically, Germans don't have Hitler anymore on their textbooks..they are very reluctant to acknowledge that something as deplorable as holocaust happ read more...

Pretty comprehensive and neat..one minor correction: Sujata was composed by S D and not Salil Chaudhary..Bimal Roy is undoubtedly the best storyteller of Indian cinema Regards Manash

Commented on mariner2's review

and welcome back.. corrections: it's Kongkona (not Konica) Sen.. and secondly, they probably do it million times more in Monte carlo..Bombay probably is nothing..Money still buys everything and India still has a pitiable exchange rate :)) Regards Manash

Very valid points there..however, one aspect that bothers is that there is no real organic growth in the sector..also, very marginal value-add to other sectors of the economy..unlike say FDI in telecom which has just boomed up underground cables and routers business..the only people profiting are th read more...

then they would've said thank you for enlightening us..:)), just trying to be lyrical.. The movie was much ahead of its times..Honey Irani wrote a master script and every character was so unforgettable..however, one contention, it would be really bemusing if we had reverted the scenario that is l read more...
