In this age of hype and aggressive advertising,Movie titles play a big role in creating interest in the viewers and sometimes its the titles that keep the makers from going under when the movie "is'nt quite there!!".But more often than not the movie titles sometimes picture the irony of the makers.Here is my countdown 10-1 of my interpretations of my favorite 10 films with such stud titles.
#10 Alam Ara- My favorite quiz question.Every quiz master i know wants this question in the Rapid Fire Round.The only reason why someone would have watched it was the first Indian talkie and the public had no other options because the next movie Toofan Mail was a good 3 years away!!!A recent poll showed that 76% of the people who had seen/heard of the movie did'nt even know that Alam Ara is an Urdu phrase meaning "The light of the world".
Though it wa much higher on my original list i give it #10 for the very fact that the makers did not have the luxury of adopting the genre of an already successful movie.
#9 Balu ABCDEFG- A fine telugu movie!!I have seen this movie at least half a dozen times (this movie was actually a hit!!) but i still have no clue as to what the hell ABCDEFG means!!!
#8 Do Aankhe Baara Haath-(2 eyes and dozen hands!!!!)No comments!!
#7 Aasoon ban gaye phool- I have no idea what kind of a miracle was this movie as the title suggests coz i did not want to risk my sanity and was a pure chance that i stumbled on this title will Channel Surfing?!!
#6 Zulm Ko Jala Doonga- Ya keep trying buddy!!!You will eventually give up!!!
#5 Yahan Wahan- Well the makers seem to be answer as to where the movie might do well!!
#4 RGV Ki Aag- A fire indeed because RGV got his hands burned big time trying to recreate the magic of possibly the greatest Indian movie ever made and ended up with a sarcastic spoof of the original.
#3 Ugly Aur Pagli- Well you could have called it Mallika Sherawat because these terms are fast becoming synonymous!!!
#2 Maine Pyar Kyun kiya? I've seen the movie and i have no idea!!
#1 Phoonk-Dare to Watch Alone- Well considering RGV's poor run in the box office if i ever decide to watch it in an theater(and not download it for free) i am sure as hell that i will be really lonely in the empty theater!!!
