Bollywood Romantic comedies (2007 - 2014)

Jab We Met (2007) Starring: Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Jab We Met redefined, or maybe defined for the first time, the genre of romantic comedy in Bollywood. Kareena Kapoor plays the Manic pixie dream girl in the first half, but post-interval things change dramatically. One of Imtiaz Ali's best. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) Starring: Imran Khan and Genelia D'souza Imran Khan's debut movie is a perfect little romantic comedy. And in some parts it is more than perfect. The casting director did an awesome job on the big supporting cast, and A R Rahman's music is perfect accordingly. This could act as a good introduction for the newbie. One of the best movies in this list. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009) Starring: Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif This movie proved that slapstick comedies do work with contemporary audiences. Director Rajkumar Santoshi created a tribute to classic comedies like Amar Akbar Anthon...

Phir se ud chala - Rockstar (2011)

'Phir se ud chala' hindi lyrics, from the man himself - Irshad Kamil http://www.irshadkamil.com/फिर-से-उड़-चला (In Devanagari script) My translation :) Again, I'm flying I've left the world below And surrendered myself to the wind Now everything is miles away... people, gardens, valleys My body is smoke again, and every cloud wants to touch me But one of those clouds might drench me I've never stopped at any destination, I've never met myself That's a complain, but I'm not peeved Every city seems the same, every village seems the same People and names seem the same Again, I'm flying Dreams are like dust on the eyelids No matter how many times you dust them off, they return again So many dreams I have broken and left behind Then why do they still sweep me in their flight Every branch, every drop, every doorstep they roam with me Whether in a forest or in lashing rain Like Ravana I die, and then live again Every branch, eve...

Worst Hindi Films of the last 15 years

This is a list I've compiled after going through countless lists on the net, and it represents the general opinion of film viewers and critics, not mine. I haven't even seen these films (except Devdas), so I can't form an opinion about them. Just wanted to share what I found that's all. 5. Trimurti 4. Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage 3. Boom 2. Yaadein 1. Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani Runners-up - Hello Brother Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon Neal 'n' Nikki Devdas Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag Mrityudata Lal Baadshah I don't know how Devdas ended up on this list, but it seems like a lot of people hated it. I found the film good (not great, just good) and I think this was Aishwarya's best performace ever (except maybe Provoked). Anyway this is the general opinion on the net, not my opinion so it's okay :)
