bomma hit kavalani masala topic la theesadu. ade edo art form laga pedha ajit ki evo feelings vasthunnai and simran is trying to understand/change him annattu theesthe lechipoyedi. I agree that this is not a perfect analogy but the basic idea remains the same.

anthe mari. chinna sridevi di infatuation ani start cheyyali and at some moment true love ani anil kapoor realize ayyettu cheyyalsindi ( not sridevi forcing it on). ala kaakunda she is so sure of her love annattu choopinchadu, asale koncham delicate concept - public ki mandindi. D annaru.

vaali lo entha explosive subject mama ? ela hit chesaadu ? ikkada direct attack annadu, no beating around the bush and that worked.

Phani mama,

You are 100% right about critics appreciating Teesri Kasam, kaani naaku adi assalu nachaledu.

Lamhe maatram yee list lo tappakundaa vundaali. Thats also a classic movie in my view.

Kaliyug movie choosaava mama nuvvu, I think that also deserves a spot in this list. Also add Utsav.

LOC and LAJJA doesn't seserve a place in the list..bemisal is better than than these movies, but antha great emi undadhu..
GAALI mama..nenu teesri kasam choodaledhu kaani critics aa film ni eppudoo baga appreciate chesthaaru..and i personally like basu bhattacharya films..
kaagaz ke phool and shakti are my favrts from that list..
yeah cinejeevi mama..shakti was a flop.. people expected a lot from the sholay combo of ramesh sippy and amitabh and also a film from the two giants, amitabh and dilip..and were disappointed..
film too much untundhi..naa amitabh top 3 films lo untundhi..but chala slow gaa, commerciality etc lekunda untundhi..a very good intense drama.. aa article lo kooda baga cheppadu movie gurinchi..

Silsila deserves a place in that list..lamhe too..first release lo flop kaani, when it was released after 10 years it ran for a whole 100 days in bombay..
one of the best films by gulzar is HU TU TU and was a flop..

Some Bollywood films have everything going for them — the best banners, talent, intentions and integrity. But still they fail.

Here's a list of 10 films that deserved the sky, but were stomped and razed to the ground in the history of Hindi cinema:

Teesri Kasam (1966) - Director Basu Bhattacharya's first film was a masterpiece. Set in Purnea district of Bihar it was a gentle and elegiac parable about a bullock cart driver Raj Kapoor and a village dancer Waheeda Rehman.

Told mostly through the two brilliant actors' interactive encounters, the wordy film had great moments of insight into the bonds that bind the downtrodden.

Award-winning performances by Kapoor and Rehman and a brilliant music score by Shankar-Jaikishan, striking cinematography by Satyajit Ray's cameraman Bimal Mitra, plus the authentic locales made this adaptation of eminent litterateur Phanishwarnath Renu's novel a tour de force.

And yet Teesri Kasam wiped out its producer, the lyricist Shailendra, while his songs in the film are hummed to this day.

Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959) - Apparently when poet Kaifi Azmi saw the film at its first trial he point blank told director Guru Dutt it would bomb.

A treatise on celluloid defeatism, Kaagaz Ke Phool told the semi-autobiographical story of a director, who falls in love with his protégé (Waheeda Rehman), loses his family and career and dies as a junior artiste on the sets of his discovery's film.

The autobiographical elements were so pronounced that the audience felt uncomfortable watching Guru Dutt achieve a creative catharsis on screen. In retrospect, Kaagaz Ke Phool became one of the biggest creative successes of the director's oeuvre.

Today it is accepted as an epic in every sense. And the song Waqt ne kiya kya seems to epitomise the ephemeral glory of showbiz and life.

Mera Naam Joker (1968) - Are autobiographical films doomed? Raj Kapoor's three-part magnum opus, again containing perceptible elements of the self in the presentation, was declared a thundering flop after a massive opening.

In hindsight many see Raj Kapoor's Mera Naam Joker as his finest work ever. Going into the three crucial chapters of the protagonist's life, Mera Naam Joker constructed the most unusual spiral of sound and light ever.

Perhaps the newness of the format really hit the audience hard. In hindsight it became one of the most viewed and discussed films.

Bemisaal (1982) - The Hrishikesh Mukherjee-Amitabh Bachchan combination came up with many winning films, including Abhimaan and this grossly neglected film, based on a Bengali novel about an orphan who dedicates his life and energy to looking after his guardian's son.

Amitabh Bachchan's performance conveyed that clenched conviction that makes him the biggest star of our times.

Though Bemisaal was partially flawed, the Bachchan magic was in full flow.

Shakti (1982) - Another unsung Bachchan classic released during the same year as Bemisaal, the father-son conflict has never been charted out with such enchanting lucidity in any film. Between Dilip Kumar as the self-righteous law-abiding father and Bachchan as the obdurate, rebellious son, there existed a chemistry that was never again visible in any Bachchan film.

Writers Salim-Javed and director Ramesh Sippy went beyond Sholay in search of a more intimate study of human relationships. The film was seen to be too taut for mass appeal.

Namkeen (1982) - Gulzar's most lyrical film somehow failed to find the audience that it deserved.

Never mind. It's his favourite from his oeuvre, and mine. The Brechtian story of three sisters and their mother whose desolate existence in a scenic wilderness was shattered by a stranger in their midst was elevated to unparalleled excellence by the performances.

The film saw Sharmila Tagore in a role that Rekha walked out of, Shabana Azmi and Kiran Vairale as the other sisters and Waheeda Rehman as their senile mother.

Sanjeev Kumar played the stranger. It all added up to a classic for all times.

And who can forget Shabana singing Phir se aiyo badra in the misty mystique of Himachal Pradesh? Delicate and delicious.

Khamoshi: The Musical (1996) - Sanjay Leela Bhansali says the title was his tribute to one of his favourite films - Asit Sen's Waheeda Rehman-Rajesh Khanna starrer Khamoshi.

But Bhansali's film about a normal girl with normal desires trying to cope with the over-possessiveness of her deaf-and-mute father was an emotionally shattering experience. So emotionally depleting was the film that it was rejected outright across the country.

But no amount of rejection can take away the power and glory of Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala's performances. As father and daughter they raged and protested each other's emotional tyranny. One of the most underrated films in the history of cinema.

Hathyar (1989) - Though JP Dutta is celebrated for his war trilogy, he made one of India's best gangster films. Hathyar is the earliest proof of what Sanjay Dutt could do when given a chance.

As the innocent in Mumbai who gets sucked into the underworld he's vulnerable, tough and heartbreaking. Dharmendra and Rishi Kapoor were also exceptional and so was the films violence-begets-violence thesis.

Lajja (2001) - Raj Kumar Santoshi's film took feminist cinema into totally uncharted territory.

Formatted as a picaresque journey, it presented a gallery of brave and unforgettable women, played by Manisha Koirala, Madhuri Dixit, Rekha and Mahima Chowdhary, who represent various facets of middleclass womanhood.

LOC (2003) - The critics went at it with hammers and tongs. But what was LOC guilty of, apart from recreating the Kargil war realistically?

The war footage, which many found repetitive, was actually a documentation of the real-life battle.

Director JP Dutta created an epic of war and peace that is destined to get its due recognition in times to come. Just like Kaagaz Ke Phool
