Naughty ...Totally flipped on it's head, agreed. Naughty Amitabh agrees with me pretty well, and the Ajit stuff was pretty hilariously parody noir. <br /><br />I've tried to watch Professor a few times, but to no avail. Eventually I'll probably grow fond enough of him to see his films en masse, but I think I'm in the same boat with him as Rishi. In the right role--with restraint--they can be truly brilliant to watch. Those roles seem to be rare, but I'm willing to be proved wrong. <br /><br />Miranda https://www.blogger.com/profile/13418800569507952654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327094740848639572.post-60587151318408494972015-01-26T10:55:25.028-08:002015-01-26T10:55:25.028-08:00I did NOT like Shammi in An Evening in Paris, so i...I did NOT like Shammi in An Evening in Paris, so it's nice to hear even a Shammi fan maybe seeing that. With the exception--he has this one conversational scene with Sharmila that I thought showcased how whip smart he actually was. I am filing away your whole list, esp. the earlier stuff and Dil tera diwana (I love me some funny Mehmood).

Othewise she is too simpering and not much of an actress for me to like. I should check this one out - it sounds interesting. Amitabh as the bad guy, Ajit as a cop - has the world turned topsy-turvy on me suddenly? :)<br /><br />*Shammi pics to watch - Professor, Dil Deke Dekho, Teesri Manzil (to add to the others that the poster above me has recommended)Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327094740848639572.post-56573521606553385642015-01-24T16:49:25.151-08:002015-01-24T16:49:25.151-08:00Haha, I thought Mujrim was second tier initially b...Haha, I thought Mujrim was second tier initially because it had no wiki entry (I mean, which respectable film does not have a wiki-entry right :P) But it was much much better than the well known and apparently much loved Kashmir ki kali/ Evening in Paris (which did not agree all that well with me)<br /><br />Favourite rewatchable movies : <br /><br />* Tumsa Nahin Dekha (The character he plays is rather cocky and slightly obnoxious at first, but turns into a lovable one very soon. AND the heroine has plenty of spunk, so she holds her own nicely. And the plot is so Bollywood-iously convoluted)<br /><br />*[Half of] Basant (the first half, which is a great remake of It happened one night and some crackling camaraderie with Nutan. The second half thinks it is "An affair to remember" but then gets very confused)<br /><br />*Dil tera diwana - Shammi, Mehmood are FUNNY and not irritating. Mala Sinha is great too. <br /><br />* Andaz - A subdued (and pudgy) Shammi, a young Hema and a brief appearance by Rajesh Khanna. Actually this was the first Shammi kapoor movie I watched, and I really really liked him in this and was initially quite confused about why he was the "rebel" star etc :) <br /><br />I liked him in Jawan Mohabbat too (another 70s film with Asha Parekh, but I'm weird that way)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327094740848639572.post-75871884095634550642015-01-24T16:19:28.897-08:002015-01-24T16:19:28.897-08:00I'm forgetting how it went down exactly, but i...I'm forgetting how it went down exactly, but it included a wig and lingerie, and I can imagine Shammi doing the scene rather cheekily. <br /><br />Clarification: I didn't mean it was second tier because it was B&W, just because I had gotten the idea that it wasn't well known. I know you love him, which I respect, I just haven't got the bug yet. I feel like maybe I'll watch Chinatown tho or something with him and Geeta Bali when I do. D'ya have a favorite Shammi film, just in terms of rewatch-factor? <br /><br /><br />Miranda https://www.blogger.com/profile/13418800569507952654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327094740848639572.post-21078626484119642742015-01-24T16:13:43.296-08:002015-01-24T16:13:43.296-08:00Haha !

I hazily recall Shammi escaping the policeman by some lingerie technique (is it the same scene where you got the screenshot from :P) <br /><br />Erm.... B&W Shammi is mostly fun (and sometimes nice and less stalkerish!) You should watch some of 'em.

It would be interesting to compare the two, except that I'm a long way in fandom miles from watching second tier Shammi films. (I like his sketchy look in it, tho.)

Is it by any chance an official remake or are my brains just addled ? Mujrim was mostly good too and with a brilliant OP Nayyar soundtrack.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
