Baithe baithe bore hue karna hai kuch kam
Spanning Bollywood's most memorable films, The Movie Antakshari is brought to you by EatPrayLove and The Bolly Hood. The twist is - it involves no singing (though, I bet I could do it better than Bolly Hood ;), it involves Bollywood film titles.
Bolly Hood took off with Hum. (For the uninitiated, my obvious pick is 'M' - the last letter of the film title, and since I choose Maine Pyar Kiy'A', bollyhooha's next pick would be a film starting with 'A.')
If you're an EatPrayLove regular, you'd probably guessed my pick by now. I saw it a zillion times on my VCR (the pre-VCD/DVD era). The film introduced me to the world of Bollywood and how! Which is also why it has a special place in my heart.
Watch it for the story (as melodramatic as it may seem today), watch it for the heart-warming chemistry between the leads, watch it for the most amazing soundtracks (I can still listen to all songs and they sound as fresh), watch it for Salman!
I was in love with Salman after watching MPK and honestly, it was because of him,
that I'd watch it over and over. The sincerity with which he goes all out to woo his love is hard to come by in films today. Bollywood romcoms have come a long way since MPK. From Hum Tum to Salaam Namaste, Jab We Met, Dostana, Pyar ka Punchnama. But the 'old-world' me doesn't mind going back to MPK once in while. (Tidbit - The film ran for five long years on the theaters!)
Anyhoo, it's over to Bollyhooha now. And the letter is 'A'. Go go!
