Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost...

I'm a little bit filmy.
Ok. Maybe more than a little bit filmy.
I don't know if I can be classified as Drama Queen or anything, but filmy. Yes. Definitely.
Unless you meet me and are subjected to my constant talking, you will never really understand how truly I love dialogue.
Impact hota hai boss.
And  this is of course limited to Bollywood. (With special reference to 90s Hindi Cinema)
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
This is a list of my ABSOLUTE favourites.


Exhibit A.
I actually feel for this movie.
It gives me a real adrenaline rush.
Who needs a Ferrari when you have Hindi Cineme.
Awesome. Just. Plain. Awesome.
They thought they could recreate the magic with Rok Sako to Rok Lo.
But seriously?
Why would you even try?

I <3 Juhi Chawla in this movie.
So many insane scenes.
Like the one with the egg-fight.
And hiding under the table and passing the food.
Stealing Jalebis.
And the romance. I love.

need i say anything?
Need ANYONE say anything?
What-A-Movie.
Nach Gaana Romance.
Bas.
I'll confess one thing.
There used to be a time, when i knew this movie by heart and re enacted it with my friends and cousins.

So cute. With the flashback and all.
I cried for kajol you know.
And I think I had goosebumps when little Anjali wore the white salwar kurta with the red bandhni dupatta.
Dude.
Goosebumps again.
Even thinking of it.

Aye Haye!
Even I want a Raj.
Now.
Please. Fast.
Though the train scene in the end is admittedly a little bit ridiculous, but how can a hindi film be succesful without ridiculous?

Best movie EVER.
End of Story.
And the music. OHMYGOD.
And the dancing.
and the romance.
And the dog.
And everything else. So SO SO SO beautiful/

One of the few Latesht movies i loved.
The horse riding was the ridiculous element needed.
I'm telling you.

Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye!
Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye!
Thakur to giyo.
<3


if not raj and simran,
my love life HAS to be like Geet and Aditya
Drama.
ah. what would life be without drama?


I'm going to die if i list out all.
But I must list out my honourable mentions-

Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya
Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
Love
Hum Saath Saath Hai
Judwaa
Pyar to hona hi tha
Vivaah
Kal Ho Na Ho
Chak De! India
Taal
Hum dil de chuke sanam
The David Dhawans

Bollywood.
in the 90s.
No one did it this well.
The music, the story lines, the dancing, the craziness.
Only Dabangg comes close.

Ok.My 2nd comment on your blog in less than 48hrs...But, woot, chod na, we all like comments right.Did the 'Kahin to hogi Maya' comment make u come out with this one?

Anyway,to the point.Where were u?I thought i am the only dandy fop whose a 90s ka buff.Except the last few on the list, i gel totally with it(no David Dhawan and Govinda for me).
Pehla Nasha...woww.N haan, dat was da first time i saw a lip to lip(hawww,with hand on mouth)2 gud 2 gud.
Dil to pagal hai + all SRK works,common love i suppose.Must add, 'ANYONE' was sweet.
N except Jaane Tu, i detest all Imran khan celluloid.
Yeh, 'Love' kya hai.And Vivaah.Seriously??
Anyway, the list maniac is back and how.Happier this time round? =D
Geet 2 or Senorita 2? I think Geet 2 suits u well.

Yes!!!
After i saw your comment i just had to write this post.
just HAD to.
I just am the kind of person who might break into humming "jaanam samjha karo".
Nothing will ever beat 90s Hindi cinema.
i <3 Blog Stalkers. Thank You!
See- David Dhawan did a good job without Govind also like in Biwi No. 1.
And really, don't you just feel for Hero No. 1?
Love
is that Salman Khan movie.
Where he's in love with this girl called Maggi. Its beautiful. her mom didn't want them to see each other. i love it.
And come on, for a fimy girl like me, you should expect a wedding oriented movie.
And CRAP!!!
i forgot Hum Aapke Hai Kaun.
Insane!!!
I <3 that song.
You totally get me.

As I saw each movie's title, I was thinking of my own fav. dialogues in each movie!!!
Punch dialogues, songs, dances are an integral part of not just our movies. But have grown into us, hasn't it???
Fashion Panache - My Green Shrug
Tiruvarur Temple Tour - Part 4
