Comments on: My five favorite heroine roles http://memsaabstory.wordpress.com/2008/04/16/top-5-heroine-roles/ Hindi movies, and all the other things I love about India (plus some other occasional nonsense) Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:38:00 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Stuart http://memsaabstory.wordpress.com/2008/04/16/top-5-heroine-roles/#comment-12210 Stuart Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:57:37 +0000 http://memsaabstory.wordpress.com/?p=883#comment-12210 "I think Black was one of the most overrated movies in recent times" I agree, but with more gusto. On jaman, I limited myself to civil language and thus began with this temperate summary: "One of the few absoultely evil films I've ever seen. This awful manipulative piece of SLB bakvaas has nothing to recommend it." The review gets less complimentary after that. :) “I think Black was one of the most overrated movies in recent times” I agree, but with more gusto.

I liked Swades a lot, but didn't think Gayatri was anything special (or her role, to be more specific)...and LOL at your description of Mother India, which I really like a lot although I won't choose to watch it again any time soon!!!!

I would vote Nargis for Mother India but that six-month long ad for slashing your wrists as a fun alternative to living was just too much for me. Nandita in Pitaah, and for a lighter role Chitrangada Singh in Sorry Bhai. Also Gayatri in Swades (she's baaack!) Of all the movies I've watched, the one with the strongest female message was Nikaah, but the one with the most well-rounded female lead character was Teesri Kasam.

Even after so many years and having watched in so many times. its still funny. I remember watching it with my dad when I was young and him rolling on the floor laughing. thats something u never forget When it comes to comedy and actresses, Hema Malini in “Sita aur Geeta” deserves a special mention.
