patti123 · Nov 10th, 2007, 23:31

Its on Channel 4 on Sunday at 1.20am till 4.20am . Has been said its the best Indian film ever made . I bought the dvd of it in India and watched it and its a great film .
Get your dvd/video recorders set up to record it . Well worth watching .

Just have to edit this. If your recording this movie set it for Monday 1.30 am.

Oh i have been moved again .Ok i see the link now for "Books Movies and music . I did wonder where to put it . Thanks moderator

Thought it would be more appropriate than in "Goa"

Btw, havent seen the movie, but many would dispute the greatest Indian movie thing.

I do know many, including in my family, saw it and liked it.

Thanks capt_mahajan.

At least they dont dance round a tree and i think the story is true , or it looks true at the end .My copy of it didnt have any sub titles but i still enjoyed it.

It might not be 'THE BEST' movie ever made, however it definitely is among the great works of Indian as well as world cinema..

ranjan154 · Nov 11th, 2007, 10:15

Yes definitely not the best ever, I would go for "Gandhi"

It's alright, gets way too, ummm, tangent towards the end now thinking of it. Interesting side note, I used to bartend with a guy who was an extra in that film.

My experience: when it was over at last, I was positively angry at the makers for making me waste my time in such a bad manner.

My experience in sequence:
The old Amir Khan cast as a student. Ridiculous. Nationalist pathos. Well, why not. Story gets crazier and crazier. More thick, fat, pathos. It drags on to a ridiculously implausible extremely violent finish.

This one has put me off modern popular Indian cinema for good.

I now take my dose of India from the mythological movies only. (Ram, Vishwamitra and so on.)

i don't think it is the greatest

although it is a great movie

New-South-Welshman · Nov 28th, 2007, 00:37

I still reckon the best Aamir Khan movie is Dil. Well, the first hour was great! Haha!

ChocolatNY · Nov 28th, 2007, 01:02

oh that movie irritated me too..

and the best Aamir Khan movie IMHO is Andaaz Apna Apna. My next choice is Dil Chahta Hai, and then Dil.

Rang De Basanti would have been a great movie if they didn't gaudily overdo the ending. It sounded and looked like a cheap D grade movie towards the the end.

Idli · Nov 28th, 2007, 02:12

I agree with extremely violent ending. I think Amir Khan's Best movie is "Qayamat se qayamat tak"

ChocolatNY · Nov 28th, 2007, 02:36

ooh yeah, he was a chocolate hero after that one..

NicoleM · Nov 28th, 2007, 03:44

The best Aamir Khan movie is Lagann.
