From what I hear Vishal's heart is into his rock band and he's just in Bollywood for the cash. So it makes sense to do the rupaiya dance. I will most definitely watch although with those two around, no jhagdas to entertain me.

Celina says it was just a rumour.The lady who was really bhang-ed and displayed it on national tv was Shabana Azmi. The news channels were showing clippings of Shabana at SRK's Holi-party.She was tipsy and kept giggling and swaying. The channels simply loved it.

Joules, good question. As far as I am concerned the greatest Amitabh movies are (1) the old Deewar and (2) Amar Akbar Anthony. Whenever I think of Amitabh, those come to mind.

Is there a greater heartbreak scene ever filmed in Bollywood to rival Amitabh getting seperated from his lucky billa in Deewar? I think not!

SLB and Vidhu have a habit of crying everytime someone makes a joke about them. Grow up guys and act your age.

Amir Khan and SRK handle this so well. You can ignore it or respond back with humor.

Aspi, Yeh hai Jalwa is on 9X on Sunday primetime (not sure about the time) They have decent uploads on apnicommunity.

Joules, good idea. I grew up in the 90's but remember watching plenty of amitabh movies on several afternoons on good old zee cinema.

I concur on Milli, also Abhimaan, Chupke Chupke, Kaala Patthar, and more recently Aankhen and cheeni Kum.

2008-03-24T22:14:00.000-05:00

So I am wathching an old Amitabh movie (Ram Balram) on TV and started thinking, how many drifters here are old enough to be Amitabh Bachchan fans.

Aspi, I would love to see a write up on what your favourite Amitabh Bachchan movies are. As much as I hate Amitabh's public persona (the whole bahurani thing is turning me off) he is my all time favourite actor. Its very hard to pick his top movies, but here is my list (and I am trying not to pick his more popular movies like Sholay, Muqaddar.., Kala Pathar, Satta Pe Satta etc..)

1) Saudagar - this movie straddles so well between commercial and art - Amitabh plays a gurd trader.
2) Milli - Although Jaya's character stole the show as she was a cancer patient this was truly Amitabh's incarnation as an angry young man.
3) Trishul - Perfect in casting and perfect in the roles played by the supporting cast.
4) Bemisaal - Does anyone remember Sakhi?
5) Virudh - One of those movies that did'nt get as much publicity but Amitabh as a father stuggling to clear his son's name really stood out with his poignant acting.

Ok people the BIG CHEESE is here.

"Yeh hai Jalwa" the new reality show shows oodles of promise.

Combining a smattering of reality show alums - Prachi,Rakhi, Ronit-Rohit, Varun Badola etc a few hotshot Tv stars and Rozza(saif's ex), no judges, teams like Chillar Parrty, Bindaas bosses, Firangi fatake, Guru Kool(elderly), rangeele dilwale (Rozza's team of blue collar workers)and a couple of saucy OB's (Original Bahus) as hosts; yeh hai jalwa is one to watch out for in terms of intended/unintended hilarity.
