Good acting skills. Well directed. Realistic. Good camera work. Melodious music. Ok, the movies that are labeled as well made, good, and "critically acclaimed" have all of these. Yet where is the "entertainment" value? Just a few double meaning dialoges? Or a few punch lines? I recall watching a Karthik Aryan movie some time back that had got good reviews, and was a hit also. Yet the entertainment value was missing. So much looked artificial. Hark back to 1980s. Movies lacked sophistication or logic in stories in some sense. Yet they entertained. Now, I watched this movie : Bond 303 again, after almost 26 years (I watched on TV then). It has Jeetendra as a spy named Bond 303(obviously inspired by James Bond). The story is predictable. Bad guys in India, financially aided by some Foreign elements(Tom Alter- the anglo Indian, who played the bad Foreign connection in many 80s movies)want to ruin India. And Bond 303, aided by one of his colleagues sets about to tackle them. Blasts, gun fights, hand to hand fights, followed by some Twin sisters: One good, One bad, but bad becoming good in the end, fighting the evil before dying. And good sub machine gun fighting in the end. Well Action and masala and entertainment. So are you game for such an "oldie"? Youtube link:
Watch #Bond303 1985, a classic adventure crime movie. Starring Tom Alter, Vikas Anand, Chandrashekhar, Prem Chopra, Iftekhar, Jeetendra, Parveen Babi. Direct...

I have never watched a Bollywood film. I'm still trying to catch up on all the American films here. I'm only used to the James Bond movies.

It seems that this is a James Bond-inspired movie in India. I have not heard of this. Thanks for sharing.

@amitkokiladitya Yes Bollywood movie. Not a very popular. I had watched it on DD in October 1994 for the first time, and was keen to watch it again.

@CarolDM Well, not everyone would be interested in this genre. And I am not sure if this has the subtitles.

@Nakitakona It wasn't a competition but just inspired by Bond movies.
