Oz, a quick question.
Are they the movies or the characters in movies? And are thay all Bollywood?
- Sumeet, they are scenes from movies showing certain characters. You have to identify the movie and the character of that movie. No they are spread all over, not just Bollywood.
S = Thakur from Sholay
E = Gabbar Singh from Sholay. Amjad Khan
R = DDLJ, SRK and Kajol
N = Zanjeer, Pran
Ohh so, it works this way huh!! and i was thinking that P is for the name of the character in a movie and that character’s pic is in P.. Well in that case i guess it… P has a pic a random pic.. Like, P can stand for Mogambo in Mr.India, and all i have to do is identify the actor and the character he plays in the movie.. Alright.. i am going that way.. unless i am wrong
- HG, You got 2 right. Which ones… you’ll get to know on September 30
but you can keep trying.
- Sumeet, :d ok here’s another attempt to simplify it: Every alphabet in the logo has been cut out from a movie poster. All you have to do is look closely “inside” the alphabet and identify the movie and character that you think you see inside each alphabet.
P= Kamal hassan, virumandi
A= Not sure.. is it Citizen Kane(movie)
s= Marlon Brando, Godfather
S= ??????( amol Palekar, Gol Mal?)
I = charlie Chaplin
O= Amitabh Bachhan, Deewar
N= E.T
F= I am not sure if it is viru and jay from sholay, but looks like some war movie though(cud be a Hollywood or Latin american also)
O= harrison Ford, Indiana Jones
R= Kajol, SRK, DDLJ
C= Verru and Gabbar from Sholay
I= Sanjeev Kumar, Sholay
N= Charlton heston, Benhur
E= Gabbar, Sholay
M= Star Wars
A= Jaws
Now when is the dinner bro?
- Sumeet, Nice attempt, but not all are correct :-? Now I’m going to shut my mouth and let others answer it. ;)
P = Kamal Hassan, Virumandi (I’d also hazard Ajay Devgan in Hum Dil De Chuke)
A = Orson Welles, Citizen Kane (I know I’m wrong)
S = Marlon Brando, Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather
S = the small kid in Cinema Paradiso (no I don’t know his name)
I = Anil Kapoor in 1942, A Love Story
O = Amitabh, Deewar
N = Elliott and ET in ET
F = Che Guevara (Gael Bernal), A Granado (Rodrigio DLS), Motorcycle Diaries
O = Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford, Raiders of the Lost Ark/Temple of doom/Last Crusade
R = Raj and Simran (Shahrukh and Kajol), DDLJ
C = Veeru and Gabbar (Dharmendra and Amjad), Sholay
I = Thakur, Sanjeev Kumar, Sholay
N = Ben Hur, Charlton Heston, Ben Hur
E = Gabbar, Amjad Khan, Sholay
M = Darth Vader, (Voice of James Earl Jones), Star Wars
A = Shark, Jaws.
I know most are correct and I also know that PAI (in Passion) and I (in Cinema) are wrong.

Bang on target… Dinner or no dinner i am planning to come to South Cal and meet you and Mo and T somewhere in about 3 months.. Planning stage.. but might work out as well… Voila!!!
The date is 30th Sept Today… So, who won Ozzie?
OZ…its 3rd of october….dont tell me there are controversies abt who gets the award….dont tell me (gasp gasp) the secret name was leaked out (omigawd! and its now in the hands of pakistani ISI agents – do we call for gunamster G9 or gopi as he is better know to retrieve the precious envelope?
And the winner is……..(:|… Common Oz still waiting!!!!
- Sumeet in his 2nd attempt got all of them right. But since it was his second attempt and since he is an “in house” guy – co hosting desi talk with me… I can’t simply give the award away to him… ummm… on second thoughts he gets all that whenever he visits Orange County.
Do you guys want to make this quizzing thingy a regular feature?
:(( maine kya Galti ki? But.. \:d/ any time any day… wow.. looking forward for it.
Lets make this regular… one one condition.. i wont be the the in-house guy…lol
i would love to make this thing a regular feature – count me in if u want any help OZ. but, lets not keep open answers – let people mail them in – instead of a month – keep th contest on for a week – etc. LETS DO IT!
i was going to post a Caption Competition – A still of ShahRukh Khan from his forthcoming movie Don. The one that looks a bit gayish.
but you can guys do it as answers via email sounds a good idea.
(i even decided to do a bit of spoof of that picture, but….)
:((
Gaah….there goes my free dinner and all bcos I got Charlie Chaplin wrong..
Oz, make this regular, its great fun and
Honhaar Goonda – (intriguing handle!) the caption idea sounds good. And talking of remakes, has PFC taken a house view on remakes ? I am completely anti-remakes esp. when directors change essential stuff to their liking and are hence using a well-known brand name (of a film) to dish out trash. Oog..sorry for the rant.
:-?
