How I spent Friday night, watching middle-aged wannabe Casanovas – Rascals

Take a Deewana Mastana story, twist it a bit so the third guy has a more active role in the film. Take two middle-aged leading men who have lost all sense of maturity, and throw them in with two young girls who are not afraid to strip down to their skivvies at the least provocation. Add lots of references to films past, gags using blind men, disabled men, and ethnic stereotypes, give up any pretense of having a coherent story or logic and you have a David Dhawan film in the 2000s.

Dabangg Bollywood cops

  With Chulbul Pandey soon to grace our silver screens, I was just wondering how our Bollywood has been showing cops on screen. I know most of the times they are the ones coming in the end, doing nothing but putting already battered villain into ambulance, but then there have been few times when our heroes have donned the uniform, lets see how they have fared while being our protectors...

Govinda and Sanjay Dutt - a riotous combination

Be it Haseena Maan Jaayegi, Jodi Number 1, or Ek aur Ek Gyarah - these two were perfect foils for each others and made for some wonderful moments of comedy on screen!

I love you Bol Daal - Haseena Maan Jaayegi:



2. Ande ka Funda - Jodi number 1:


3. Jo Ranjha The Woh Chale Gaye - Ek Aur Ek Gyarah:
