A must watch...

"Munni meri behen munni, munni meri behen munni, to tu mar gyee? Lambu ne tujhe lamba kar diya? Maachis ki tilli ko khamba kar diya?".
“There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who have seen 'Gunda'. And those who shall see it.” -- Roger Abhert
It is pleasure to have the opportunity to get into first kind of people after watching the highly commendable movie “GUNDA”. It’s a cult movie and you would be surprised to know that movie with such incongruous title is on IMDB at rating 8.4. IMDB is renowned website for Indian and international movies. That means it is uniformly accepted as a masterpiece and also I guess it holds the world record for being screened in almost all men’s hostels in India..!!! Each and every dialogue of this movie is work of genius in itself.
Let me take the pleasure to introduce the characters of this famed movie along with some of their punch lines (Just to mention that these lines may be offensive and to a extent indecent, so ladies and kids are advised to keep their eyes shut for one paragraph please): -
1) Bulla. "Mera naam hain Bulla, rakhta hoon main khullaaaaaa"
2) Chutiya. Bulla’s hermaphrodite brother
3) Lambu Atta
4) Pote. “jo aapne baap ki bhi naheen hote”
5) Ibu Hatela. “Mera naam Ibu Hatela, Ma meri chudail ki beti, baap mera shaitan ka chela, khayega kela?”
6) Inspector Kale
7) “kafan chor neta”
8) Bacchu Bagona and our own
9) Shankar, played by Mithun Da
Apart from these, Mithun Da has one sister and one girlfriend. Since they don’t have their introductory signature so they aren’t worth mention here. As you can observe, each and every character is able to raise an air of suspicion and curiosity inside you that you can’t resist to not seeing this movie. I had known about this movie since my engineering days and my days at IIT. The film offers distinct lingoes that people were often seen conversing in same fashion. The cinematography is superbly done with just one camera (must have been produced in recession hit period). All characters in movie are made to deliver their share of dialogue in front of the only camera and exactly no movement can be seen. To mention about the dialogues, as you have read in the title, it seems every character was paid peanuts to write their own dialogue in a minute and deliver it in a way as they wish. The movie present all sort of ‘gunda’s present at that time and the one and only messiah, Mithun Da who come for the rescue. He possessed an over weight girl friend who always tries to wooh him with ridiculous songs and her plump body, clutched with ill-fitted flashy dresses. Apart from her, he also has even fatter sister, and over-acting father, and a monkey who can understand his language.
There are many fascinating scenes and situations in this movie that can make you grip the edge of seat and wouldn’t leave you without watching the whole…Mithun as ‘coolie’ found on airport tarmac…rape scenes of ladies and then their murder, but without even removing their clothes…songs that have no remote relation with a scene before and after that…the dresses of the actors that can compete against all colors of the rainbow (even their shades too..!!)…all the characters in the movie are dead in the end but our Mithun Da still conquer the screen…and many more.
Out of many movies I am the big fan of comedy movie “Andaz Apna Apna” and now I think I need to update my data base with this cult one. This movie is best suited to be seen during honeymoon nights. The movie is one of the finest comedies ever made that can make you laugh for the whole night and keep you awake…!!!
