Favourite Hindi movies Part 2

6. Josh (2000) -- Bollywood remake of Westside Story.













7. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi -- just a very nice, feelgood, heartfelt, beautiful movie. Exactly "my type" of film. Very nice music. Check out two songs from it:

Tujhe Mein Rab Dikhta Hai
Yaara Main Kya Karoon...
(I See God In You, Dear, What Am I to Do?)

interesting review

8. Devdas (Sanjay Lila Bhansali)

9. Dil Se (1998; Mani Ratnam) -- well, I already wrote at length about it earlier...

And there are a few others that I liked a lot (Yes Boss, Ram Jaane...) But maybe later...

These are almost all mainstream movies, with Asoka and Dil Se being a bit of art-films. They are all qute entertaining but of course it depends on your taste. There are directors in Bollywood that make more serious, gloomy, original, whatever, movies, like Mani Ratnam, Ram Gopal Varma (Satya, Company), Anurag Kashyap (Black Friday, No Smoking) but the thing is, they are not "my" movies. Those are often about terrorists, Mumbai criminal underworld and things like that.

Don't remember if I posted this before:

I've seen My Name Is Khan recently and thought it was great. In September it'll be released in theatres in Russia. Well, I'll write about it a bit later too.
