Flop Show (1989)
Best Hindi comedy serial ever
It's hard to find any other TV serial that matches Flop Show in its comic content. Each scene of the show has some unique and genuine comic value. This TV serial was made before the era of background laughter, so the laughter cues are very subtle. And the comedy itself is not forced, as other reviewers have already mentioned. But for me, the greatest strength of the show is how Jaspal Bhatti develops each character. For a 20 minute odd episode and each episode having minimum 7 to 8 main characters, you don't feel that any character was less developed or not required. In fact, you can identify with each character instantaneously. Vivek Shauq stands out in this regard. In every episode he adds his own unique flavor to each character. It's a shame that he didn't do well in Bollywood.
Mere Apne (1971)
awesome movie
This is one of those movies that bring tears to your eyes.
The movie with a vision and intention, so valid for today as it was for that time.
But I remember this movie for one of the best scenes I have ever seen. A scene in which Meena Kumari tells Vinod Khanna and co about the freedom fighters and says that they were the actual 'thag' and not you.
One of the most poignant scenes of the movie.
And then I am biased towards Vinod Khanna who is anyways one of the best looking stars of India and the detached look that he gives lends more to his character. And then I am biased towards Shatruganh Sinha :-) An actor I consider who has his own class !!
The weakest link of the movie is Meena Kumari which is way too melancholy for her role. Or may be I am again biased against her :-)
