It’s raining VCDs/DVDs
The Hindi films released in the last few months have hardly inspired me to pay a visit to the multiplexes. So nowadays, I head for the VCD/DVD store quite often, to pick up some old Hindi films. The prices are very attractive (I got good Hindi film VCDs for a price as low as Rs. 30 while the DVDs cost a minimum price of Rs. 45). Also there are many good titles, thus I end up buying a large number of films, every time I shop for VCDs/DVDs. I hate the typical masala movies. Instead I go for the unusual ones. I have a great time watching most of them, as rarely do such movies get made these days.
Here are five movies which are total paisa vasool. Check them out as soon as possible:
Ek Ruka Hua Faisla: This gem has been directed by Basu Chatterji. It has an unusual storyline for a Hindi film. Watch it simply for the amazing performances by a number of talented Indian artistes. It is shot on just one location, and yet it holds your attention till the very end as the story and direction is top class.
Drohkaal: When a movie has been directed by Govind Nihalani and has performers like Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri in it, what more can you ask for? Watch this movie, when you are ready for something intense.
Baton Baton Mein: The acting by Amol Palekar (a true symbol of the Mumbai common man) is delightful. The story revolves around Christian families in Bandra, so that’s an interesting reason for everyone from Bandra to watch this flick. This movie is once again directed by Basu Chatterji.
Khamosh: Very rarely do you get a good Hindi suspense movie that too backed by performers like Shabana Azmi, Amol Palekar, Pankaj Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah. The pace of the movie never wavers and you will get a real surprise at the end when the murderer will be revealed to you. This movie has been directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra at the start of his career. Wish he would have continued with more such efforts.
Chhoti Si Baat: This is a wonderful comedy with amusing performances by Ashok Kumar, Amol Palekar and Vidya Sinha. Directors like Basu Chatterji and actors like Amol Palekar are truly missed by all true Hindi movie lovers nowadays.
