Stay alert of the flood of Bollywood movies coming your way

Coming winters will be a treat for the movies buffs! Yes, the largest movie manufacturing industry in the world, Bollywood has guaranteed the fans of cinema, a treat of lifetime. So, stand aback, because this hurricane of upcoming Bollywood movies will blow you away.

Coming December will see the clash of titans. Yes, Shahrukh khan & Aamir Khan will be setting the silver screen afire with their upcoming 70mm ventures. While Shahrukh Khan will be pairing together with Aditya chopra along with debutante Anushka Sharma to sizzle the big screen with their film 'Rab ne bana di jodi', Aamir Khan will be seen packing the punch in his latest 8-pack abs, bald avatar in 'Ghajini'. Touted as the biggest releases of the year 2008, both the films will be releasing in December within the space of two weeks from each other. The two former icons, now legendary actors have made sure that the audience gets the value for their money spent.

Bollywood movies are not only limited to the khan dynasty, but comprise of several other genres and of course actors. However, till few years back, movies for children were a passe thing. But after the success of animated films like Hanuman, Hanuman 2, Ghatotkach and the recently released Roadside romeo has bashed all these perceptions. This is the chief reason why several children centric movies namely Toonpur ka Superhero, Arjuna, the warrior prince and others lined up.

If that was about children movies, then worry not because Bollywood has its kitty full with other alternatives too. Yes, horror genre is still very much in. Over the years, horror has been one genre that has seen a drastic transformation. Gone were the days when horror movies were only made by the Ramsay brothers. With the passage of time, many directors have experimented with it, majority of them failed and only few succeed. Presently, Vikram Bhatt has usurped the title of 'horror film maker' from the Ramsay brother. The marvellous director who has films like 'Ghulam' under his belt experimented with this genre with 'Raaz' which was a super hit. His next venture 1920 again repeated the same success story. However, Mohit Suri who is ready with 'Raaz 2' can prove to be a tough competitor for him. Other eminent name in the horror film genre is 'Ram Gopal Verma'. The excellent director who rephrased the dimensions of horror shot to fame with 'Raat'. Thereafter, he made 'Bhoot', 'Darna mana hai', Darna zaroori hai and the recent 'phoonk'.

All in all, if you are movie lover, then make sure that you have enough money in your pocket to satisfy your appetite for entertainment in its purest form ie Bollywood movies.

Bollywood Movies: Beyond Imagination!

It was the dawn of February and the beginning of March, when the Mogul Empire was about to unleash its marathon history on poor Indians by the name of “Jodha Akbar”. For the majority who apt to get confused with the whole story line of Akbar and his Princess Jodha, better ruffle through the history books once again. Well I still fail to understand what’s wrong with the people. The director of the movie “Ashutosh Gowariker” is making something on his own term and that too for the people to get entertained, still he can’t be left aloof from the scorching heat of comments and protects.


For the rest who want to scream from the roof top regarding this whole issue please stop! Let the poor guy live his life and let him show his own capabilities as a director. Even if he is manipulating things on his own terms, I say, let him do so. What’s the harm? He is indeed a fine craftsman and we have already seen this in “Lagaan”.


Sometimes just to prove their worthiness people go to any extent. I wonder what difference it would make if the actual story is little tampered. Well, setting my case apart and few others like me, there are people who are extremely conscious about the historical derivates. For them history should always be produced as it is. No matter how hardbound it is. Coming back to Ashutosh Gowariker and his portfolio of fine craftsmanship, I am sure his latest release won’t be disappointing as predicted.


Personally, Gowariker’s way of translating opulence is something beyond words. Last night when I went to the nearby CD shop for the latest Hindi movies the shopkeeper was ready with his own share of perception on Jodha Akbar. Overhearing whatever he said and regardless of all the drama and chaos by the so called “Rajputs,” I still prefer watching the movie.


Bollywood movies are meant for entertainment and they should be treated on the same line. After all I have a huge collection of Bollywood DVDs and who is going to watch all my favourite movies? What? You still wondering? My friends of course! They do trust my choice regardless of the fact that I buy French, Spanish, Roman, Hindi and English DVDs.

Bollywood Movies: My Cup of Tea

Bollywood movies have always created a sense of freshness and zeal, and I am proud to be a true Bollywood fan. To me, these movies are the true reason of life and it will be really hard to live without them. I am really glad that a movie-buff like me is offered with unlimited quality as well as quantity of movies each Friday.

I recently watched two latest Bollywood movies, Superstar and Mithya. Superstar is out and out a typical Bollywood masala flick while Mithya is an unconventional Bollywood movie with a great sense of humour and freshness. Both these latest Hindi movies perfectly fit my taste and I am glad that I am a part of a country which is one of the leading names in the world of movies. One reason for which I don't prefer Hollywood movies as much as I prefer our latest Hindi movies is that Hindi movies offer complete entertainment to every movie-goer in terms of entertainment, action, thrill, relationships and tenderly love. The songs are perfect icings on the cake and at times, the songs are what lead me to the cinemas to watch the latest Hindi movies.

One movie that I am looking forward to in the forthcoming week is the epic tale of Jodha Akbar by Ashutosh Gowariker, the same director who was in the Oscar race for India with his movie "Lagaan". This film has my favourite Bollywood actors, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. I am just waiting for the 15th of February; after all, it is my gift for this Valentine by my beloved.

One thing is for sure, these movies offer much resemblance to the realities of life than those science-based failed attempts of Hollywood. Well, this is my personal opinion and I don't want anyone to follow it, after all, we all have a different mind frame and to me, our Hindi movies are much more meaningful and appealing than any other movies.

I just hope that I get my regular dose of Bollywood movies each and every week.
