My Cinema - where are you???

Karz Chukana Hai, Anubhav, Ghar Ghar ki Kahani, Jamai Raja, Aakarshan, Commando, Tarzan, Dariya Dil, Akalmand, Khoon bhari Maang, Umar Pachpan ki Dil Bachpan Ka, Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni, Ameer Aadmi gareeb Aadmi... Ghar ek mandir, Farishtey, Kalyug aur Ramayan... if anybody has seen these movies would value these gems more than modern day ghajini's and dostana's.... Where are you my dear 'ham movies'??? 80's and 90's in my growing up days i have seen the world's trashiest cinema and i say it with utmost pride that i have seen 98% of the movies released during this time. I loved watching all the drama and utter trash that film makers made and we actually had the courage to watch it all. What made these movies really memorable is the melodrama and far from reality characters. The rich girl and poor guy drama, the cruel Mom in law, the sly sister in law who chooses to live with mommy and not the husband, the irritating bachhas of the seedhi saadhi badi bahu, the obidient devarji and the henpecked sasurji who plays nothing but a mute witness to the tyrant sasu's doings.
Yeah the villains who had a takiya qalaam, the side kicks who were always comic and had just one line in the whole movie, the andhi behan and boodhi maa saga, the bimar baap, the hardworking beta who always came first in his BA exam and the entire mohalla would celebrate with him, the munna, the munne ki maa, the gajar ka halwa.... where has it all gone?
The cinema now in being realistic has kinda lost its humour. I am not anti this change.. i love movies irrespective, but this trash was something else. Each and every dialogue was written in a way that it will be remembered for years. When have you last heard in a movie our actors saying ' maa ko chhor de warna...'
'Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di, uske baad to main khud ki bhi nahi sunta'!!!!!!!! Salman... this is what i was waiting for!!!!!!!! This is dhamakedar... i really wish the time from 90's and the cinema and dhinchak music with jhankar beats returns. I remember i owned a cassette of Rangeela with jhankar beats in it and i loved it everytime i played it. I also owned a Tridev cassette with dialogues... i know them all by heart!
I remember having seen this one really shady film Farishtey where sadashiv amrapurkar the villain opens this fancy looking box and pulls out cockroaches and eats them! hahaha imaginative! A film called Tarzan which is embossed in my mind as the most outrageous depiction of mowgli. Kimi katkar the lass meets Hemant birje the monkey boy and *tring* love happens! One scene where i din't know where to look, anywhere but the screen.... when our monkey boy rescues our lass from ze goons and places her on a high rise machaan for safety and suddenly his manhood prompts him to explore our lasses body and the rest is X rated! Nothing to beat this highly creative style of cinema.
Oh this one legandary scene from a Manoj kumar film Clerk where old man ashok kumar has a cardiac and son manoj kumar is chilled as ice! He at his own snail pace takes out a tape and plays on a tape recorder saying this is the cure to my dads heart attack. Our man dying of cardiac suddenly starts marchin in his bed as he is lying down and gets up looking at the numerous NETA posters in his house. First you tell me plis, who puts neta posters in their houses these days... how patriotic he is... and then he marches his cardiac arrest away as if it never existed! Miracle!!!! These happened only in the 80's, then miracles like manoj ji became extinct!

I really can go on and on endlessly but the bottom line is i miss this 'ham' cinema. I miss pure entertainment for the sake of entertainment. No more saas hits the bahu... no more ameer gareeb drama, no more kicking parents out of the house to appropriate the wealth..sigh!
