I saw Dishoom! It is NOT a Mumbai Police remake. Or if it is, it’s been re-written and re-written so many times as to be unrecognizable. Unlike Mumbai Police, it is just a super fun silly light hearted movie with no social content or awareness what so ever.
Slow Monday, with no big releases last Friday and no new Hrithik-Kangana news, or any other scandal coming up to oust them off the front pages. But there are a couple of interesting sort of industrial notes.
I asked for requests for Hindi films to write about, and someone suggested Hulchul. So, yay! I have an excuse to write about Hulchul! One of my favorite films, and definitely my favorite Hindi Priyadarshan movie. I understand it is a remake of a Malayalam film, but I suspect even after I watch that, I will still like the Hindi version better. Because what I like about it isn’t just the plot and direction, but how that interacts with the casting.
