Bas Naam hi Kafhi Hai.................

Bollywood is known to give us classics and duds. The ideas of the filmmaker matters the most. But sometimes, they catch our attention only through names. After all, the public sees the full film, so is it true that “What’s in the Name”?

LADY TERMINATOR - FIRST SHE MATES THEN SHE TERMINATES.

This was a 1988 Indonesian movie which has his full plot and storyline copied from the original James Cameron’s sci-fi thriller, but this time, the lead was played by a lady as the title suggests but it incorporated a lot of local legend, aimed squarely at a largely working-class local audience in Indonesia. The cheesy special effects, horrendous dubbing, lame acting, and cheap production values are just icing on the cake.
Do watch it to know more about this timeless classic. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed….Hindi version is Highly Recommended which will give you, maybe more fun than watching India’s own favourite “Gunda” staring Mithun Chakraborty.


BASANTI KI SHAADI HONEYMOON GABBAR KA

Finally he decides to put down his arms and surrender himself so he can marry Basanti. However when he is all set to marry Basanti with plans for a honeymoon, Basanti disappears from Ramghad.

MERI IZZAT BACHAO

This is a movie released in 1984 in the action genre with a strong social message,
Producer Mohan T Gehani and Director Qamar Narvi put together some actors like Chander, Anu Dhawan, Ritu Khanna, Siraj, Zubeida to churn out this story. The title of the movie is self-explanatory where the hero has the perennial duty to do everything possible in order to keep the heroine’s character stainless.

BRANDI KA BOTAL

Though the name may suggest, it is a movie not based on the exploits of brandy which literally mean "burnt wine" but the story circle around a bottle of it.

The sick guy is also the brother of Malati , whom he secretly loves. Not knowing what brandy is, Bagaram gets embroiled in adventures, including a famous scene in a crowded bar. He eventually procures a bottle but his beloved persists in regarding him merely as a 'brother'. Directed by the lead actor himself Master Vinayak with a supporting cast of V.G. Jog , Salvi, Meenakshi and Javdekar, this movie is a decent watch but features in this list for its unique and eye-catching title.

PAAP KO JALAA KAR RAAKH KAR DOONGA

This 1988 multistarrer, directed by K.R. Reddy, invoked a lot of passion and vengenance in the soul of youngsters when we see such a aggressive title. The film had casted Dharmendra as CBI Officer Shankar Saxena with Govinda, Anita Raj, Farha Naaz, Kulbhushan Kharbanda in supporting role. Events unfold enveloping the family in a web of deceit, intrigue, distrust, and terror which makes the film at least one watch.
