Bulandi (2000)

Best movie of this year hands down!

How sad is this?

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film released at the start of 2000 alongwith MELA both disasters So sad to start a millennium with such nonsenseThe film seems to suit 70's but looks like an unintentional comedy for 2000Anywayz some classic gems from the film: Paresh Rawal I don't understand to laugh at his role or cry Reason: He goes searching his mother in the village worst part is when he realises a secret of Anil he keeps the secret in his stomach which becomes big and makes him look pregnant I remember in my childhood my teacher told me the same joke Urrf!!!! as a child i laughed at it that time but here?The whole film is a joke can't explain We have Anil in a dual role(One older and younger) and Rekha playing the older's wife and Raveena the youngers We also have reject Harish while Shakti playing the son of Aruna Irani who both fight on who has the worst wigDirection is outdated Music is badAnil tries hard looks too old in the younger role and too young in the older role yet good effort Rekha is adequate, Raveena too is okay Harish is bad Shakti Kapoor is terrible Aruna Irani is as usual Rajnikant is okay in a cameo

T. Rama Rao made some extremely beautiful films in the 1980s, but he seems to be a filmmaker who cannot mature with the changing times, styles and fashions. He's like stuck with the same old-fashioned film-making style.Actors are not bad, not good either. Anil Kapoor generally acts convincingly his two roles of a father and his son, but the flawed script often makes him look funny and pathetic. Rekha is good, but then - she's always good, and here she's nothing more than such. She makes the best of what she is given, but she always does that. In conclusion, nothing great at all. Raveena is OK, which means ordinary, not bad, not good, nothing.This film is melodramatic, occasionally stupid. Maybe it's a delayed film? Well, even then it still would be below standard. The script is terrible, the film is overdone, and the story goes nowhere. It feels like a film made in the early 1990s, but the script makes it look even older, the style is like from the 1950s.Don't recommend, unless you're a big fan one of the starring actors.

Relentlessly violent potboiler with no redeeming features. Not even the violence is original, save for the seeming relish in battering the female members of the piece in a variety of ways.Oh yes. You'll see most types of abuse here. Raveena Tandon a Meena tries to be sympathetic as the wronged heroine wife of the outcast(e) brother but just ends up looking like any other once-glamorous actress marking time before she ends up playing grey-haired sainted mothers. Rekha just looks depressed. When they aren't being beaten up by the predictably demonic villain. There is a final scene where the pregnant Tandon is battered in an open arena whilst trying to protect husband Arjun, and immediately goes into labour/miscarriage, culminating in local village women surrounding the stricken Meena, and Rekha reuniting the female family members. This culminates in a perversely orgiastic scene where her face is splashed, porno money shot style, with Meenas' breaking waters. That was the only new thing I could see in this trashcan of a film.

I watched this movie thinking it was an old one from 1994 but then was shocked to discover it released in 2000. Everything about this movies says early nineties, Anil Kapoor in a double role neither of which suit him one to old and one to young. Rekha looks great and still performs with vigour but she looked like she was competing with Raveena Tandon on screen. Raveena Tandon looked great also and being such a brilliant and professional actress she rose above Rekha's childishness and produced a good performances first spoilt brat and then pregnant wife. The movie overall was not good flop through and through 3 out of 10 the 3 for Raveena Tandon.
