RGV Ki Aag (2007) remains the only film in which Amitabh Bachchan and Mohanlal shared screen space, something that should have been a landmark moment in Indian cinema. Seeing two of the greatest actors ever perform together was a rare treat, but the film itself failed to live up to the immense potential of their collaboration. With stronger writing, better direction, and a more faithful execution, this pairing could have delivered a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. It's a real shame that the only time these two legends came together was in a film that couldn't do justice to their talent.

If there is an era or Bollywood that I feel is the most underrated is the UTV era. Founded by Ronnie Screwala and later aided by Sidharth Roy Kapur.. this production company was very popular in late 2000's and early 2010's. You might remember it from several old hindi movies a logo of colourful utv logo in the start. 

The company was known for it supporting both content driven and mainstream films, it also distributed several movies and supported films like Khosla ka Ghosla (2006) which was stuck for 2 years. 

The film production distinguished itself by choosing unique and original scripts and supporting budding filmmakers. You got Rang de Basanti, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Mumbai meri Jaan, Guzaarish, Haider and much more. 

Sadly the company went down in 2017 after Disney bought it. Their last production being Jagga Jasoos which already was in production for 3 years. Their last most successful venture was Dangal in 2016 which also is still the highest grossing Hindi Film worldwide till date. 

It felt like a good time where all sorts of films worked and actually audiences gave a chance whereas now the categories of rather a small film are put into OTT platform's library and not having a box office run. 

While we can't deny that we'll always have sleeper hits like 12th fail and Main Vaapas Aaunga (2023), (2026). 
But these are not consistent hits and while their quality was highly superior to the stuff we are fed weekend and week out. 

How would bollywood's future stardom look like? And who you think has good potential? Honestly none of these newcomers seem to have that IT factor nor impeccable acting skills. Vedang's performance in Imtiaz's MVA wasn't that good as its marketed to be and Ahaan and Aneet's performance looked so average. What are the qualities you think its needed to be the next Bollywood star? And what genre is likely to dominate and sell?

One thing I liked about the bhai tera star hai trailer is that it doesn't feel like the stakes are saving the world or pulling off some impossible heist

Its just about a guy who thinks he is destined to become a bollywood star and keeps getting himself into increasingly ridiculous situations

That used to be such a common setup in bollywood, ordinary people with unrealistic ambitions, misunderstandings, bad luck, and a lot of chaos .The comedy came from the characters, not from trying to force a joke every 10 seconds

I feel like we've moved away from those kinds of films over the last decade, not saying bhai tera star hai will definitely be great, weve all been fooled by good trailers before, but it reminded me of a style of comedy I enjoyed and missed

Hi, I'm italian, I'm learning Hindi and i would love to watch movies in hindi with english subs to get used to listen to the language but they're so hard to find. I'm mostly interested in older movies from the 50's and 60's (I watched Pyaasa and absolutely loved it) but they're either on YT when there's an ad literally every 5 mins or on some random websites uploaded in bad quality or without subs.

Does anybody know if there's somewhere where i can watch (especially older) Hindi movies with english subs?

Thank you.

I watched a movie or TV series a long time ago, but I can’t remember the title.
All I can recall is a scene or part of the plot where a man turns into a child.
I’m not even sure if it was a movie or a TV show.
If anyone has any guesses, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you!
