Those old Indian classics, and some not so old classics. Like the good old days of watching movies on TV and no Cds and DVDs. As a kid, we used to harass the so called cable waala to put a good movie on. And then stay up till late (which was 12 am btw), ahhhh so much stress for one movie.
Even though I can just buy a DVD and watch a movie, I just stay up changing channels with my sister, and watch 2-3 movies a day. The Rajesh Khanna's 70's, Amitabh Bachchan and Rish Kapoor 80's and Anil Kapoor's 90's. Brings so many memories back.
I have always been a movie buff, a big hindi movie buff. I was seven years old, and where we lived, there was just one movie theatre in the area (20kms or so radius..). And since movies took ages to come on TV or on tape, watching it in a theatre was a must.
Since I was seven, scoring nicely on a test was very important to my mom. I remember I had a maths test, and I was not very keen on studying. My mom, being very smart, and knowing how I love hindi movies, promised me if I score A+ on the test, she'll take me for the movie I desperately wanted to go to (going to watch a movie was an event in the house).
Well, I never scored an A+ in math before, so she did no think I would manage that, but atleast get an A. And then..it happened..my need, yes yes need, to watch that movie drove me towards an A+..
lol!!! I am one of these. I got to watch my movie, which is btw called Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, and my mom was all smiles.
I dont know why I remembered that story. Things are so different now. All these memories just come back whenever I come home (which is not too often).
I am watching Lamhe right now, it was a long long movie, and ahead for its times (1991 in India), but I really like it.
ok back to the movie now... Anupam Kher just got slapped by Anil Kapoor..lol
