Che

We've got to move on. Kolo Toure is still there as is Gilberto. We sure are not going to win the League this year but in time, yes.(T)

The two Ram Gopal Varma movies I've seen have been good, Satya was decent and Company was awesome.

Any other good underworld related movies I should lookout for??

(((I cannot see anything in movies that win awards etc.)))

Should have been " I sometimes cannot see anything in movies...."

Whole different look on things. :)

who directed movies produced by Shashi Kapur? was it Shyam Benegal or someone else? (Junoon, Vijeta, Kalyug etc.)and who made Muhafiz on Ismail Merchant's novel?

Rahul , Ana
I do agree, its very subjective and some movies remain with us because of the circumstances and the times and the age we see them in. Other's don't. I cannot see anything in movies that win awards etc.

Mr. India was a good film, but I'd say the same about Chalti ka naam Gaadi too.

I've no doubt Shekhar Kapur is a good director, it's just that he hasn't done enough pathbreaking for me to put him in this list.

Anybody seen Halo by Santosh Shivan? Not a Hindi film though. It's amazing how a man who made Terrorist and Halo could make Ashoka.

The reason why i mention RD is that that is all I remember about Gulzars movies.I dont care about message;its just that there are so many moments that stay with you from say masoom,I dont believe Gulzar ever made a movie like that.

But Shekhar Kapoor also directed Mr. India, and just for that madness, I would put him somewhere on the list. Aur iss baat ko sunte hi. . . Mogambo khush hua! :)
