REMAKE VERSION
Think retro, think 'Om Shanti Om.' This film that released in 2007 is a part-musical featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone and has over forty Bollywood celebs making their appearance in the film. The film is set in the 70s and the millennium. Some even call it an ode or a mock of the film industry at these periods. It has an edge over other retro movies as the film by itself revolves around movies so they portray Bollywood perfectly at both the ages.
The track from SRK's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' has appearances by several Bollywood celebs and is an ode to yesteryear film stars including Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Nargis, Helen, Sharmila Tagore and few others.
The science fiction stars Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles and takes us onto a colourful journey to the 1970s.
The song from Bollywood blockbuster '3 Idiots,' as the track lyrics suggest showcase Kareena's filmy sort of a dream track with Aamir. Although the visuals are part-retro, the peppy track takes you back to the 70s.
Loosely based on the lives of Haji Mastan and Dawood Ibrahim, the movie with Ajay, Emraan, Prachi and Kangana boasts off beautiful sets and costumes of the bygone era...
The song from 'Ready' is Bollywood's latest retro offering and has Salman and Zarine Khan. Salman had taken us back to the days of Raj Kapoor, Dharmendra and Dilip Kumar through this track, as Salman and Zarine play hit songs of this trio from the past.
The dirty picture also had retro foot prints. The dirty picture inspired by the life of Silk Smitha, a South Indian actress noted for her erotic roles.In this picture Vidya balan looking so stunning in retro look.
All these new movies kept the enigmatic era of 60s and 70s alive.
It would be fare to say that " HISTORY REPEAT'S ITSELF".......!
