Bheja Fry (2007)
Dinner Game?
I am amazed at the reception this movie gets. All you need to do is watch the French movie Le Diner De Cons (Or Dinner Game) to understand why I have given this a rating of 2. It simply is a frame-for-frame copy. I haven't seen plagiarism so blatant in a Bollywood movie.
Even simple scenes like showing the doctor the bathroom, the dogs in the car, reference to phrases like nymphomaniac are straight lifts. All Sameer Bellary and his team has done is to hire translators instead of screenplay writers.
Bheja Fry beats everything what people like Sanjay Gupta and Anurag Basu have done before. However, watch the French movie. Highly recommended.
Short Cut to Nirvana: Kumbh Mela (2004)
Beautifully crafted documentary
"Kumbh Mela: Short Cut to Nirvana" is a beautifully crafted documentary that details the organized chaos and curious piety surrounding the Kumbh Mela, an Indian religious festival held on 12-year intervals for the past two millennia. The most recent festival attracted an estimated 70 million people.
The documentary is handsomely photographed, beautifully edited, and constantly absorbing glimpse into a unique corner of the human experience. Western audiences may not understand everything they see in this film, but the film nonetheless makes for absorbing viewing and is highly recommended for anyone in search of a different answer to universal questions of faith and hope
