My Cinematic Alphabet - Indian Edition

Perhaps you've seen this on some other film blogs already - it's a recent movement/ trend inside the film-blogosphere, and basically, all you have to do is write your favorite films, one for each letter of the alphabet. Me blogging means the nice woman where I live in Hamburg does have internet, but it doesn't mean you should expect more posts for the next 1,5 week(s); the internship and this big city is on my mind most of the time. Anyways, here it is, the Indian Edition of My Cinematic Alphabet (I'll do a World Edition as well, later on):


A is for Asoka (Hindi)


B is for Bumbai (Tamil)


C is for Chalte Chalte (Hindi)


D is for Dil Se... (Hindi)


E is for 1947: Earth (Hindi/ English)


F is for Fanaa (Hindi)


G is for Guru (Hindi)


H is for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (Hindi)


I is for 3 Idiots (Hindi)


J is for Jodhaa-Akbar (Hindi/ Urdu)


K is for my one and only favorite film ever Kal Ho Naa Ho (Hindi)


L is for Luck By Chance (Hindi)


M is for Main Hoon Na (Hindi)


N is for Nishabd (Hindi)


O is for Om Shanti Om (Hindi)


P is for Parineeta (Hindi)

Q is for... SYSTEM ERROR... NOT FOUND...


R is for Rang De Basanti (Hindi)


S is for Sholay (Hindi)


T is for Tere Bin Laden (Hindi)


U is for Udaan (Hindi)


V is for Veer Zaara (Hindi)


W is for Wake Up Sid (Hindi)

X is for... SYSTEM ERROR... NOT FOUND...


Y is for Yuva (Hindi)


Z is for Zindaggi Rocks (Hindi)
(due to ... alphabetical problems)

PS: Just filled my supplies of Bollywood DVDs, which I mostly buy in Hamburg. As I'm here for two weeks, it was a perfect opportunity. As a matter of fact, I have never before spent as much money on DVDs at once, as I have today.

Thank you for reading,
Mette M. K.

    @ Roxanita: I know, many people don't see the greatness of Asoka, but I think it's a really well-made and interesting film - I even watched it with some people that don't watch Bollywood otherwise, and they loved it.

    @ aham: That's probably the one I'd take if I'd seen the film - but I haven't yet.

    @ Arjun: Well, there is one Tamil film, but because I haven't seen many regional Indian films, there's almost only Hindi films in the list.
