Unseen and unheard

I wanted to write a 'best of 2009' or 'worst of 2009' kind of Bollywood post, so I looked up the list of all Bollywood movies released in 2009.

Neha said...

maybe its because of the names no one noticed!! :D
I did hear (i think) of these though:
Aao Wish Karein
love khichdi

~ Lopa said...

I fail :O

Didn't hear any of them... may be they are B or C grade movies not with known names associated, that's why !
Don't know !!

iyer-the-gr8 said...

"The Stoneman Murders" - thats a bollywood movie? and did you already take out the ones that everyone's probably heard of?

Love LJ Joshi said...

strangely i have a vague idea of checking out some of the rushes on TV... even better, have seen a couple of them from your list :)

LoSt iN tHe cRoWd said...

:O..so many unknown movies

Stone said...

..know what...my answer is mostly all, except the few ones you've mentioned but actually never got released in 09.

Anyway, seems like you've missed some real good ones like..
Barah Aana
Firaaq
Little Zizou
The Stoneman Murders

and some timepass comedies likes Aaloo Chaat and Straight.

Swathy said...

I proudly announce I have actually seen jugaad , aloo chat, jai veeru(just the titles),42 kms(just the dvd cover as a filler movie)..
and heard of love khicdi.:D
am I the winner??
LOL!!
waise Aloo chat is ok,ok..

Sowmya said...

I think most of them are remakes of regional movies..

buddy said...

aalo chaat is worth a decent watch actually
and the rest of the list is priceless ROFL

Macho Girl said...

Vaada Raha was a weird movie that had bobby deol discover a cure for cancer by reading basic science text books and watching animated tumor cells on his laptop :-/ Makes me wonder why I struggle so hard in lab when all of life's medical questions have their answers in humble text books :P :P :P

Neha said...

Where did u get this list from? What happened to the famous ones?

Maybe its a list of B and C grade movies :(

Anonymous said...

Oh no... I have actually heard of 12 movies from this! power of watching trailers on showbiz ;)

Anonymous said...

Chatur Singh Two Star LOL!

Bhavya said...

Herad of 16 of them and actually saw three of them. Barah Aana was quite good actually, with Vijay Raaz n Naserruddin Shah. About a lower middle class guy's struggle to live.

Jass said...

I have heard of exactly three movies.
I knew I sucked at movies, but yeh to kuch zyada hi suck ho gaya bhai.

@Piggy Little:

WHOA! You are one bad ass bollywood fan!

Ashwin said...

Have seen three of those. Aloo Chaat and Straight were funny one-time watch.

"Vaada Raha...I promise" cracked me up. Funny how the tagline for some movies is just translation of the title. Either the makers are completely devoid of imagination (which says a lot about how the movie is gonna be) or they take their audience to be severely challenged in Hindi/Urdu (Which doesnt make sense bcos these movies dont normally release overseas).

May be they were expecting a blockbuster run in Tamilnadu. :)

#Mythalez,
Impressive! :)

#Art,
Yeah! Tell me about it! :|

#NePo,
Hahahaha! :D

#~Lopa,
I failed too. :P

#iyer-the-gr8,
//did you already take out the ones that everyone's probably heard of?

Of course I did. The post is about unheard movies. I only retained the names that had me stumped! :)

#Love,
Hahahaha, awesome! :D

#LoSt iN tHe cRoWd,
I know! :O

#Piggy Litte,
Hahahahaha! Mogambo khush hua. So many hours did you spend on google huh? ;)

#Stone,
Will try to catch them on DVD. Thanks! :)

#Swathy,
Everyone seems to have liked Aloo Chaat. :D

#Sowmya,
Really??

#buddy,
Yeah I'll definitely try to catch that!

#Macho Girl,
You watched it? Hahaha! :D See, how Bollywood can help you get that PhD faster?? :D :D

#N,
I googled for all movies released in 2009 and filtered out the ones I knew of.

#julykatrae,
I should totally start watching TV again!!

#ramya,
:D

#Bhavya,
Wow! I'll try to watch some of these. :)

#Jass,
Hahahahaha, haan yaar SSSK ki bhi izzat mitti mein mil gayi. :P
PS: I think Piggy Little cheated! :P

#Ashwin,
Love your point about the taglines. Though I am also amused at some taglines that have nothing to do with the movie like 'Daag the fire'! :D

Thousif Raza said...

dulha mil gaya.... still have to be realsed.. and lil zizou is a good movie i liked it....


but nice list... merry christmas... and aa very happy new year... take care

Rahul Katarey said...

Hehehehe.........
Guys i guess you forgot Bollywood produces almost 300 Movies per year (irrespective of grades).

Ashwin said...

Yeah. If they just dropped the D in Daag the Fire, it'd fall in the same category I mentioned before :)

Shadow: Lead character was a blind guy in real life who isn't blind in the movie. Ah I remember the tagline, "Pehli baar ek andhe aadmi ne ek dekhnewali aadmi ka kirdaar adaa kiya hai"

rt said...

Even i have heard and seen the shadow trailers on the TV.
the title song has really amazing hand movements to go with (may be some call it dance :))
have heard 3-4 of the above!!
looks like the other bewdas have got better exposure to bollywood than BHAI?!!!

I want not concur on it. I think nice post. Particularly the title-deed attracted me to study the intact story.
