The time when their faces were not so familiar I had the suggestion to watch this drama. Today I know that both are the finest actors in Korean drama ever. In ‘Secret Garden’ if you like him, this role fits his personality! ( with the exception of ‘Negotiator’ I believe where he is at hisContinue reading “Memories of Alhambra”

With Kim woo bin the scene is not complete. Another actor who deserves mention is Kang Ha-neul. When I saw him in the first frame he is watching the show down from the rooftop with a lolly pop in his hand! He is amused by the confrontation between Lee Min Ho & Kim Woo Bin.Continue reading “Inheritors again”

Also called ‘the Inheritors ‘ is a 2013 show. It is too good. I was banking on Min Ho & I wasn’t disappointed. But the real surprise is Kim Woo bin! I can’t say I am his fan but now he is my most liked villain! I started the show with a feeling why hasContinue reading “The Heirs”

A film by Sai Paranjpe that stands out due to the extraordinary duo…Shabana Azmi & Nasiruddin Shah. Released in 1980 I had my first brush with black tickets then. I must have been the fifth in the row & yet I came home without tickets. Eventually I got to see it & it was worthContinue reading “Sparsh”

A 70s movie that made Sachin & Sarika stars overnight. Sachin had worked as a child artist in films & also was famous for his work with Raja Paranjpe. But Tarachand Barjatya gave him a break as an youth icon in this movie. With Rajshri productions he never looked back. The story is loosely basedContinue reading “Geet gata chal”

It said romantic film but it is a sad story with Hun Bin & Lee Yeon hee. When she comes to Seoul, she tells him she is pregnant & I actually believed her! I then thought the story must be in flash back or he has completely forgotten her. She had been bluffing! She isContinue reading “The millionaire’s first love”

After the 12th episode it began to accelerate & came to a crescendo at the 18th. But managed to reach the 20th comfortably. Lee min ho had foretold the end as a happy end but in the earlier birth they had both died in the sea with the harpoon. She feels betrayed & when heContinue reading “Legend of …”

Asha Bhonsle one of my favourite singers at her best. The film, ‘Imandaar’ in the 80s with Sanjay Dutt & Farah. The song has ‘dard’ that is so uncommon today. It remains one of my all time favourites. ‘Aur is dil mein kya rakha hai, tera hi pyar chupa rakha hai.. chir ke dekhe dilContinue reading “Aur is dil mein kya rakha hai…”
