Dear Bobby
This is an excellent web site and i am glad to have found it using random search. I am truly impressed with the format of your articles and also very happy to see excellent unbiased and true representation of your cinematic love.
Personally, I feel that you have avoided B.R.Chopra movies, but i strongly recommend "kanoon" in court room drama and "sadhna" in dramas. Also, Raj Khosla had some great movies like "woh kaun thi" & "mera saaya". I hope you cover them shortly.
Once again, thank you so very much for this tremendous collection and i hope i will go through each one in detail soon.
Is there a way we can get update notices so that we can come and check the site?
Thanks

Hi Raja,
Thanks for your appreciation and I am really glad you liked my articles at the site.
I surely like B.R. Chopra movies and few Raj Khosla too. And as you remindme of them, I will once again watch those movies (since i saw them long time back). Interestingly, "Kannon" was there in my mind from long.
But regarding "Woh Kaun Thi", it was not included as it was highly inspired from Hitchcock's "Vertigo" and couldnt be a better version than the original, though had some good melodies.
And yes you can just write your e-mail Id in the Subscription box at the right and then i will inform you whenever i have written some new articles for all my friends..
Thanks again for your appreciation and please feel free to give your comments to my works here.
Cheers!

Hi Bobby
I read your movie review for Kanoon. Thank you.
I now hope that you will also put director B.R. Chopra in your lists of Directors I love! Naya Daur, Sadhana, Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Aaj Ki Awaaz, Humraah, Ek Hi Raasta, Pati Patni Aur Woh etc. many movies were truly remarkable and way ahead of its times.
He was a brilliant producer as well.
Anyways, once again thank you for your sincere postings which i am so much overwhelmed by as it very many times meets my own thoughts identically about the piece of cinema i saw!

Hi Amr,
Thanks for visitng my site and loving it. Its really great that you also want to share your thoughts here with everyone.
Curretly we can have the excahgne of ideas through the comments section only. And many of our friends have already done that. (Chek out Kaminey Review Post)
Regarding the List of "Direcors I Love", thanks for making my remember one of the most lovable director "Yash Chopra" whom I missed out somehow. He is now there in the list as suggested. As far as Karan Johar is conecerned, I would like to wait for moreof his movies as till now he has made projects more on the glossier side of life.
Thanks once again and waiting for your valuabel comments.
Cheers!

dear i liked you did not put up yashraj and karan johar as their work is more of earning money they are not into making a good movie i m surprised you changed the list i do not like their work at all..
bobbysing

02 September 2009
Hi Amr,
I have only included Yash Chopra as I think he truly deserves a place there, not beaucse of his recent movies, but due to the great masterpieces he gave us in the 70s and 80s like "Daag", "Waqt", "Kabhie Kabhie", "Kala Patthar", "Deewar", "Trishul", "Silsila" and many more such movies which are all there in my "Movies to See Before You Die" list.
Hence Yash Chopra has to be there in the list and somehow it was my mistake to miss him.
But I couldnt include Karan Johar, as you yoursefl have given the reason for that.
Thanks & Keep Logging
Cheers!

It was my pleasure.
Dibanker Banerjee, Ashutosh Govarikar & Tigmanshu Dhulia are no doubt talented but Its bit too early to include them in your favourite Director's list. There are so many people in World Cinema who are & were exceptional directors.
Why not Manmohan desai in the list? Just because he made potboilers & not the serious cum sombre stuff?? he was the pioneer of commercial cinema. he has inspired many successful directors of today who have admit that they are hugely inspired by Manmohan desai. Some of them are farah Khan, David Dhawan, Anees bazmee & Rohit Shetty. You can see his impact on many more directors like SUBHASH GHAI.
He discovered the Commercial cinema &he was a mass entertainer. Which other director has inspired & influenced so many Successful director. Its high time that he should get his dues.
Infact, NEW YOTK time called JAMES CAMERON, the Manmohan Desai of WEST. What a tribute to a great man.
Even Ritwik Ghatak, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Clink Eastwood, Sergio Leone & Shakti Samanta deserve a place in your list.
Can you tell me why these legends are not in your list but Dibanker Banerjee, Ashutosh Govarikar & Tigmanshu Dhulia are enjoying this feat? Is Rajkumar santoshi a better director than SERGIO Leone or Clint eastwood??
Also, BREAKING AWAY deserves a place in your list of sports movies.

Hi Navneet,
Thanks for once again reminding me of some more names whom I loved a lot, but somehow missed to include in my list of favourites.
At the same time I would like to say that at one end you are very right in suggesting me some names, but on the other end I dont agree with your comparison of one director with another and questioning their presence in the list. Cause, each name in the list has a different identity and qualities for which he is loved by all the movie lovers.
Moreover, If a person makes 2-3 films and all are brilliant & good enough to be discussed in great details then he rightly deserves to be there in the list, even if he is a newcomer or a veteran director in the field.
Secondly if you insist of including Manmohan Desai in the list, then Prakash Mehra also has to be there as a compulsion because these two were the most famous competitors in the 70s and 80s competing with their cult films of Amitabh Bachchan.
From the other names I would certainly vouch for Ritwik Ghatak & Clint Eastwood.
Sergio Leone was no doubt a trend setter but that genre is not what I love watching a lot. Even Clint Eastwood impressed me more with this later movies, away from his famous Cowboy image.
Shakti Samanta again was a great director as his Rajesh Khanna cult movies & other hits are a great contribution in the Indian Cinema. I do love most of his movies but I still frankly would not go for a movie only because its directed by him.
And lastly I am still looking for Adoor Gopalakrishnan's movies DVDs with subtitles options.
So again I have added few names in my list after your kind reminder.
Would also comment on BREAKING AWAY after watching it soon.
Once again Thanks for writing in and Keep Visiting.
Cheers!

And regarding your recommendation of Sartaj, I feel greatly satisfied and happy looking at his success because he is known to me from many years now.
His talent was bound to be reconganised but the people took it many years to give him his due. Anyway he is now well seated on his plane of success and is ready to reach much higher state of success.

hey Mr Bobby,
I appreciate all of ur work as it takes lots of research to gather such a huge database.
Coming 2 the point, I read ur "Must See Movies" column today and all of a sudden, glimpses of movie "Kaun" surrounded me in my imagination.
I was wondering, why is it that this movie didnt find a spot in ur must watch list.
Its the most underrated but the most finest work of RGV THE GREAT.
Would like 2 hear something about this movie from you sir.

Hi Arshad,
Thanks for your kind words brother and regarding your obsevation, I will have to admit that you surely reminded me of a great thriller movie which rightly deserves its place in my list of "Movie To See Before You Die".
Actually I think when you are a die hard fan of a particular person then his works get automatically considered as already included in the list. And that is the reason why I think I missed on to this fine work of the master.
Now I will soon add it and then send you the link for the same.

Thanks for your encouraging comment as it really provides the power to continue in the same spirits.
What you have expresssed in your honest comment, the same I have been following and asking others too, to pursue their own interests and passions of life taking atleast few hours out of their daily routine.
But once you cross the twenties and move into the family phase of life, one simply forgets about himself and starts living a different life which he never had hought of (particularly in our part of the world). And thats what I try to do here at BTC writing straight out of my own without any influence of some big names or banners.
Would love to share more and more with friends like yourself more regularly. But if you can then do join me at FACEBOOK as there I keep updating some short posts along with the Links about the articles written at the site.

Sir,
I regularly follow your blog that's filled with your though provoking lines about various art forms. Thought of writing to you many times. But never got a chance due to my hectic college schedules. Am currently in 2nd year pursuing my Btech. Music (I believe Music Heals), Movies, creative art, performing arts and computers(am a certified graphic artist and web designer since my childhood) r my life. I am also keen to take formal training in Music. Sir, I have recently recorded few songs in my own voice (in a very small studio,-home studio with a shoestring budget) which I had written when I was in class 8 or 9. I have never learned music and whatever I have done till now just comes from within. But I understand that to get the nuances of the music correct, I need to learn.
In this regard, I would request you to kindly take a look at my work and give a judgement (or a review to my email address) on the same in a reply to me.

Hi Bobby Sir
Now that Yash Chopra has named his new untitled movie Jab tak hai jaan staring Katrina,Anushka etc...was wondering what it's story would be...there are rumours that it is a remake or inspired from Daag-Poem of Love starring the great Rajesh Khanna etc...
the story would go like this
SRK-Katrina are lovers (maybe abroad in London), get married. He kills some dude. BUT SOMEHOW HE ENDS UP IN THE INDIAN ARMY to start a new life far away from london and law, and marries or gets involved with Anushka(daughter of some army Genreal) ... But Katrina raises their son whilst his gone, and while she thinks he's dead.. SRK as an patrotic Indian soldier bashes up the terrorists and gets famous and is noticed by the law and Katrina, renters Katrina with their son(maybe not with their son as Gulshan Nanda is not alive) and the story (love triangle) begans...reenters interpol too..what happens next...get a cd of DAAG and watch it....

However DAAG itself was not an original story idea and this is an article at the site for the same written few years back....

Hi Bobby,
I was just going through with your list of "Directors I love"
Amongst them Hrishikesh mukherjee and Alfred hitchcock are my personal favourits and both are very well known so no need to say much about them, but i do think Vijay anand is the most underrated director of hindi cinema. He is truly a jack of all - just loved the trinity of Johny Mera Naam, Jewel Thief & Teesri Manzil, one can watch these movies N no. of times and offcourse Guide a real masterpice and definately listed in Top 5 movies of Hindi cinema.
Even Tere Ghar Ke Samne (comedy), Nau Do Gyarah, Kala bazar, Black Mail & Tere Mere Sapne(his personal favourite movie) were also good.
you can pick any of above movies no matter what is the theme of movie they all have decent music with Guide, teesri manzil & kala bazar have some all time best songs.
I think as a director he started to fail after he separated from his brother Dev anand.
I don't think he was managed to make films of his potntial after mid 70's but he will always remain one of my favourite director.
It's real sad that many people remember him just as a younger brother of Dev anand but reality is that vijay anand contributed a lot in Dev anand's success.
Through your page i just wanted to admire this great Director.

Thanks Abhishek for remembering one of the finest directors of Hindi film Industry which sadly is a fact accepted by the Industry people widely but not by the audience.
Vijay Anand was also one of the key directors who taught Bollywood how to shoot songs in Hindi movies along with other veterans.....And his song situations and their execution gets a deserving mention even today whenever the maestro is discussed or written about in the media.
Hope you would love reading many other articles at the site (Particularly in the Nostalgia Series started only few days before).
