sharaabi

I have not been an ardent fan of Amitabh Bachan or hindi movies during my childhood years. My cousins who mostly were in northern states of India used to always praise about Amitabh's histrionics, which I never bothered to look at. We were more dominated by our AP Amitabh in form of chiru. Ok, but when I saw Sholay in around my 10th standard for the first time, I really liked the performance of Big B. Then onwards I used to sit b4 TV whenever his films were telecast but even then not an ardent fan.
Yesterday we saw Sharaabi(ordered frm Netflix), and again I was amazed at the ease with which Mr.Big B performs any character. Ok leaving aside his immortal charisma in Indian cinema, I was actually amazed to see the differnce in film making and style involved in the films than and now. Sharaabi was made in 1984, and almost all the elments of film-making has undergone a mojor change, I feel. Like the screenplay, sets, music, Dialogues, lyrics in the songs....
Actually in the beginning I felt it boring to see the movie as I was more accustomed to the generation-X movies, but when we sat down and saw the entire movie I felt it has its own effect on the viewer and may be in many cases a longlasting effect than compared to present generation movies.
Hope to see some more flicks of the golden era of Indian cinema.
