So many good Diwali releases but I dont think I've seen even a single one of them on (or a few days after) Diwali. When I was in India, Diwali holidays were too busy to spare any time for movies. And in Calgary, the difficulty of getting to a theatre that shows Hindi films just makes sure that I see very few until they come out on DVD. <br /><br />And I just remembered a Diwali song for your list (they are so rare in films!) - <i>Mele hain chiragon ke, rangeen diwali hai</i> from <i>Nazrana</i> (1961). Cant find it on youtube though.bollyviewerhttp://bollyviewer-oldisgold.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-88980719841745898552009-10-29T17:24:36.199+05:302009-10-29T17:24:36.199+05:30Thanks a lot Shell

LOL that you died and gone to heaven :D seriously , people went so crazy in the movie.

I think my bank account would be drained if I had the opportunity to see all the movies that peaked my interest. Last year I remember the Bolly theatre close to me had a full day of movies during Diwale, though they were all previously released films. I think I would have died and gone to heaven had I seen Om Shanti Om in the theatre! <br />Great post Darshit!Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758282383525747870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-37674016060984268652009-10-27T21:06:25.427+05:302009-10-27T21:06:25.427+05:30Thanks BollywoodDeewana , get back soon with that ...Thanks <b>BollywoodDeewana</b> , get back soon with that tune.

That's right, Bengali connections certainly.<br /><br />Funnily enough I saw, and greatly enjoyed Parineeta, a couple of years ago, otherwise that would have been a spot on recommendation.<br /><br />I loved the cinematography in the film and Saif Ali Khan's one of my favourite Hindi actors, all in all it was a big improvement on the Bimal Roy version.tangleofwireshttp://tangleofwires.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-11265578137642095572009-10-23T20:39:58.192+05:302009-10-23T20:39:58.192+05:30ajnabi

Hey, thanks for the crown :) I lo...<b>theBollywoodFan</b><br /><br />Hey, thanks for the crown :) I love history as far as it is releated to the big screen [and history of Egypt]. Aamir has always been different. And I think December is lucky for him that he always bangs on target during that period. Here's to the sucess of 3 Idiots. :)<br /><br />For some reasons, I liked JaaneMann. Music, the colors and the format was lovely. Remember one scene, when Salman get to know Akshay has got engaged with Priety - window glasses gets shattered behind Sallu! Many found it silly, but I liked those little things. And both leading men crying ;)<br /><br />I just don't know why no one is ready to take the risk of Diwali. Cause the festival has a lot potential as it is about 5 days long. A behen-bhai relationship possibility is there too. Home Delivery was so close to that. But somewhere it needed more maturity which was not there. I loved Boman Irani in it saying Happy Diwali to all. <br /><br />Happy Diwali to You too. And To everyone reading this blog. <br /><br /><b>tangleofWires</b><br /><br />Thanks a lot. And welcome to blog. That's great to know you have turned towards Bollywood. I assume you are from Bengali backdrop. I would recommend you to watch Parineeta starring Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan and Sanjay Dutt. It is most authentic movie of recent times, based on Bengali novel. <br /><br />Also you can head over to my blogroll links provided in side bar. They have got some great recommendations.dunkdafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140259719369169275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-54674198018420809302009-10-18T02:27:27.626+05:302009-10-18T02:27:27.626+05:30Great post, well worth a read in full.

So you're officially appointed the Bolly blogosphere's historian for releases on holidays! <br /><br />I mostly agree with your thoughts, through the years. Aamir doesn't seem to have that many Diwali releases at all, eh? Been on a roll with Christmas of late. <br /><br />Really liked Jaan-e-Mann over Don. And OSO and Saawariya was a good year too. When will they make a Diwali-specific movie, though?<br /><br />Thanks for the wishes, and again, HAPPY DIWALI!!!

Will be eager to know your thoughts especially on Saawariya. And yes, DTPH is the one which YRF has excelled in. Then what happened is history :P<br /><br />Happy Diwali to both of you.
