Tohfa (1984)
Of Love, Laughter, Tears, Songs, Dances,Matkaas, Latkaas and Jhatkaas
Revisiting 80s in 2010, Tohfa turned out to be one of the best, or shall I say the best SrideviJeetuJaya ventures. This movie has everything you ask for. A gripping storyline, an engaging presentation, excellent comedy, beautiful songs and dances and above all awesome Sridevi and Jaya Prada along with Jitendra. They look breathtakingly beautiful, give powerful performance and the ladies..boys can they dance? Although the story of two friends or sisters loving the same man has been told many times, Tohfa's take on this is different. This movie never drags ,you are on the edge as many unexpected things unfold throughout till the end of this movie. Kader Khan in his character role was flawless; Shakti Kapoor did the both hilarious and villainous act equally well. Who can forget Aaaaooooo Lalita . Tohfa did not miss one single attempt at comedy. All the lead actors got different shades to act and enough scope to showcase their talent. Jaya Prada's motherly love and care for his sister and negative shades towards the end were executed perfectly. Jitendra was good both at his playful act in the 1st half and as a father, a responsible husband and an estranged lover in the 2nd half. But as usual, the actor who remains in your mind from the start till the end and as time passes , the actor who makes you watch this movie once again is Sridevi. She is charismatic. She is powerful. Her screen presence is immense. You cannot see beyond her. She is makes you go ga ga with her naughty acts and dances in the 1st half, you can feel her agony, her sacrifice and you will feel her suffering through her sheer expressions through the end. Be it tragedy, comedy, dances, drama .she does everything perfectly. Overall, Tohfa is an out and out entertainer.
Dil Bole Hadippa! (2009)
Awful
I was surprised to find positive reviews of Dil Bole Hadippa here as I always refer to IMDb for unbiased reviews. So now that people liked DBH, I realize that if I didn't like this movie and rather found it pathetic, probably something wrong with me but still posting my own reasons. To me, it was extremely melodramatic, loud and shallow stuff for this age. I cannot tolerate the century old "Wrong English" comedy any more. It is too much clichéd. Their cricket was one of the most irritating parts of the movie. I mean in cricket, it doesn't have to be a six, a four or a clean bold on every ball. And please YRF enough of conning your audience with the same Punjab di Lassi or Sarson ke Khet.And how all the bindaas girls end up changing Shahid's thoughts and perceptions of life like Geet of Jab We Met and Veera of DBH was also not digestible. The worst part was DDLJ and HAHK drama. I walked away for a few minutes. Nothing was new the same old modern girl vs Gaun ki gori and bindaas vs polished, desh vs pardes. Not a single dialogue made me laugh or even smile for a moment. Rani is a very talented actress. She should choose intelligent multiplex movies. My Vote: 1 Comment: Awful
