The preface: This review is dedicated to all the front-benchers in the theatre who have kept so many of the boring movies alive by passing some wonderful comments. *
Sometimes I often think that the critics of the Indian cinema are not you and me who go to the plush multiplexes or sit in the balcony of the theatre. Its only the frontbencher who go religiously to the movies every Friday on black tickets and enjoy the movies in whatever form. The main motive behind these front-benchers to watch movie is to have fun by watching movies. We differ from them because we have many other ways of having fun and watching movies is just one of them. So, I will better write on the cameos appreciated by these whistlers!
-
A tribute to all Front-benchers i.e. the whistle-blowers
-
1. The frontbenchers always blow whistles when their cameo do some new trick or deliver superb dialogues.But this Cameo No. 1 got some different treatment. People pacified themselves by whistling when heart of this Cameo is broken at the end the movie. The reason: This guy literally fondled Urmila for entire movie and teased the taporis.So the audience is calmed down to see Urmila embracing the tapori Amir Khan in Rangeela. The cameo was delivered by the always manly Jackie Shroff in Rangeela as Kamaljee.
2. His powerful hath.aka.hathodaweighs more than 2.5 kgs. and he is none other than Sunny Deol in Damini. Sunny's role in Damini is really all about the crux of what a typical fronbencher likes to have in him someday i.e. the ever cool attitude, the muscle-vassal and the ability to silent their critics by their equally cold-blooded dialogues. Sunny deol's role in Damini in fact moulded his future career as muscled man.oops.two muscled man i.e one in arms and other in that deadly throat.Balwantayyyyyyyy!
3. I really dont know the name of this actor and still dont know whether his role qualifies to be a cameo. But I bow to the front-benchers and put him in the list sheerly because he is remembered in this hillarious movie. Fat guy standing at bus-stop in Hera-pheri. Asrani is telling Taboo to woo Sunil Shetty by hook or crook so that sunil is off their neck. Shortly, Asrani is teaching Taboo to patao her. The bus comes, Sunil gets in and Asrani pushes Taboo into that bus and exults! And my cameo is looking at this entire episode with keen eye and smells somethign enticing.
The dialogues'Yaar sahi setting kiya yaar aapne.'
Asrani'Haan bhai, badi mushkil se ho gaya'
The Cameo'Apne ko bhi aisa Rapchik maal de do na*
Asrani is baffled'What do u mean? I'm a manager'
The cameo'Haan yaar.aap jaise logon ko bhi aajkal manager bulana padta he.Are yaar paise le lo na! Kuch album he kya?'
Asrani'Tum muze samjhate kya ho?'
Cameo'Dalal! Apne ko bhi rapchik maal do na.are paise le lo na.'
The poor Asrani runs from the scene doom dabake!
4.He is probably one of the best dancers in Bollywood. If u consider Prabhudeva as Dance-God, then he will probably will be the Best Dancer in India. I'm of-course talking about Javed Jafri in Meri Jung. Son of comedian Jagdip made a wonderful debut in this Subhash Ghai movie. The way he moved moved himself in this movie for the short time given to him qualifies for a cameo. And what about the front-benchers? They liked Bol Baby Bol!
5. The front-benchers liked his concept of big money and charged for the time he speaks and discloses the secrets. Paresh Rawal as Kashinath sahu in Mohra was outrageous. Take 1. The Champabai at the villain's adda and that falling tennis ball, 'Are gir gaya kya' was simply out of this world. Take 2. Kashinath goes to villain's base again and the colour comes out of his face. Take 3/4/5:Seth, mere paas ek andar ki khabar he.Lekin ek minute ka ek hajar lagega.Ek second ka ek hajar. The superb Paresh Rawal just goes on rolling in this movie. Kyun tapori log pasabd aaya ki nahin?
6. Remember the Mom is Kokil-kanthi(Sweet singer) and the daughter is blessed with those magical three letter words Abba-dabba-chabba. Need to say Upasana Sing in Judaai. The meaning of Abba-Dabba-Chabba. Abbane bulaya he, dabba pakdana he aur fir chabba-chabba-chabba. No real meaning of this.but dont u enjoyed this girl uttering them continuously.Abba-Dabba-Chabba!
7. This is for the first time any firang was so liked by the Indian public in Indian movie. This firang lady has worn a small bikini in the movie.but she was not remembered for that. In fact, she was remembered for taking off someone's shirt, camera, money. and made that poor guy to sit on the pillow in the night.Kyun? Are yaar.Mein kya har din Goa se Mumbai truck me aata hoon! Guessed it? Bingo.The dumb-looking smart firang Christine in Dil Chahta he!
After this scene in DCH, no Indian guy has ever fell in love with a firang chic in Goa
8. She emerged from the water in swimming suit and took hearts of several Indians away and that too in her first film. This tall and dusky dame has been looting the entire states of India since then. Shilpa shetty in Baazigar must have looked dumb, but the front-benchers cheered this bold and bubbly lady.
9. Well, this role might not be the tapori's choice. But this is what the author has taken the liberty of being the author. Madhuri Dixit in Lajja has performed par excellence. The careless woman asking Manisha to use the dark corner for finishing her nature's call, the loving Madhuri, the rebel Madhuri on the stage outlashing against the past traditions and the broken-down Madhuri! Par Excellence!
10. I was not going to include him since he is found his place in all the previous reviews on similar subjects.But this cameo is something to be watched and enjoyed. Watch Anil Kapoor in Taal Need I say More .
Thanks and adios.
I missed on some animal friends of mine. Doggy in Teri Meherbaniyan.Kabootar in Maine Pyar Kiya.Tuffy in HAHK.
