Chupke Chupke
A 1975 Bollywood comedy flick ‘Chupke Chupke’ features great actors Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan and Sharmila Tagore & Jaya Bhaduri. As the director Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s rib tickling comedies are a fun to watch, this one is no exception.
It is family comedy which revolves round two characters Parimal and Sukumar. How Parimal and Sukumar are tangled in funny situations and try to come out of them is a real fun to see. This ‘Comedy of Errors’ and prankster Dharmendra’s hilarious performance, is worthwhile.

I like Rab Ne Bona di Jodi.
Shahrukh Khan makes Bollywood. Without SRK, there is no Bollywood. The whole world loves SRK; it is unfortunate that more Americans are not familiar with him and his movies. SRK’s movies are the best. No one, but no one can do a romance scene like SRK. His acting ability, his good looks, his charm, his charisma, his dancing, and his dimpled smile all combined are just unbeatable.
God Bless SRK for the pleasure and enjoyment he brings us through his hard work and passion.
