Badshah was one of those films that isn't bad to watch on video - when there isn't much to do.
But it really wasn't worth seeing at the theatre. During the first 20 minutes I thought the film was going to be worse than Hindustan ki kasam, but thankfully it wasn't quite that bad. Shah rukh pretending to be blind was hilarious, but otherwise the screenwriters just took, Rush Hour (and probably 4 or 5 other Jackie Chan films), Nick of Time, the Man with One red shoe, and some Jame Bond films, and shook those scripts togther and came up with a meshed together story - which I thought actually worked better than when they try to copy one film.
For example Mann was a pretty good film, but it can't hold it's own against the film it copied - An Affair to Remember. Manisha & Amir did not have same chemistry, as Cary Grant & Debrah Kerr, and although even the dialague was copied right of An Affair to Remember, it did not have the same pace or humour. The biggest weakness, was that Amir's character was crass and plastic compared to Grant's usual sophisticated finesse.
I think that the best film of the year to date (or in the last couple of years), was Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. I think that this was almost as good as my favorite Indian film in the last decade or so - Lahme, and I even liked it better than Dilwale Dulanya Laigainge.
Taal was suberb up to the intermission. Not sure which was more beautiful - the incredible cinematgraphy, or Ashwaiyra Rai - actually in all honesty - Ash wins hands down. I thought she looked incredible in HDDS, but during the first half of Taal she looked unbelievable. She even looked good in those cheap/revolting Cher outfits (what was Subesh Ghai thinking?!!???).
The other really good film this year was Sarfarosh. It slams Pakistan, but it was an incredibly well made film. For an action film, it avoided the usual Indian film ritual of having a long drawn out fight that never seems to end. Amir Khan was great, and even Sonali did her job well (even though it was just window dressing).
I am going to see Kohram on the weekend, and since it's a long weekend I might go see Arjan Pandit, has anyone seen this film yet?
yup khurrams!!
totally agree with u , HDDCS was a superb one , really loved it.
TAAL wasnt bad either but i donno why it seemed to be based on pretty same idea as HHDCS (to me at least).
i think credit goes to ASH surely for both of them . she really is a beauty .isnt she ???
hummm yup seen both KOHRAM and ARJUN PANDIT . i liked both ,atleast the stories r different .
i,ll surely recommened both to u !surely r worth to be seen on the big screen i guess.
atleast both r alot better then MANN, BADSHAH etc.
SIGH !!!!!!!! (SHAH SWEETY U REALLY DISSAPPOINTED ME HERE. )
surely let me know what u think of the upcoming ones !!!!!
"KHUB GUZRE GI JO MIL BETHENH GE FIMLMANIACS DO "

Komal,
Taal & HDDS, were really variants of the same story - but than with a few exceptions there really only four distinct plots in Indian films, the difference only being on how well the story and the presentation is
Example:
-story revolves around boy winning girl's family
-see above
-love will bring them together (or in the better films like QSQT, hero/heroine die
-money is the cause of seperation - see above
-Usually two heroes loving same girl, where naturally they also happen to best friends since childhood, or they happen to meet and become best freinds. Since they are best freinds, one of them has to die (since he lost in love/for the sake of the freindship - ie. Sangam & it's clone Ram Avtaar).
-Unusaual case where there are two women in love with the same man (losing women almost always die's - usually saving the man she loves, because as everyone knows an indian women only falls in love once, and since she can't love anyone else, the director has to kill her off for audiences to find the ending acceptable)
Hero must avenge death/rape/torture of family/mother/sister, or the defrauding of family fortune by eveil uncle (Amrish puri can probably play this role in his sleep)
This usually manges to put all three of the first three plots and blends them with the storyline of the Godfather.
The new (if you don't count Manoj kumar films)disturbing trend is how Hindustan is at the mercyof the evil Pakistani insurgents that are responsible for all of the violence/looting/corruption in India.
So it really shouldn't be a great surprise that Taal, HDDS have similar stories. The only difference is that HDDS was exceptional presentation from the cinematraphy, acting (Ash and Ajay were suberb), presentation of the story and the direction.
while Taal had great cinematagraphy, acting (Ash, Anil, Akshaye - contrary to the reviews, I thought did a good job in his role , and I think that most of the bad reveiws he got were because he played against the norm - much like AK in Lahme - of the strong Indian hero who will forcefully win over the heroine, and his/her family). The weakness stemmed from Subesh Ghai's direction & script. The ending of the film was a disapointment to an other wise superb film. Considering the ending, I had to laugh at his quote explaining why Tall is doing well overseas, but is not a hit in most of India. With such a cliche & melodramatic ending for him to say that Taal "is a film for the classes not the masses" is laughable.
Anyways, I gave you the long winded explanation on your point that Taal & HDDS have similar storylines.
