Considerign this is a forum for movie lovers, I have decided to start a Quiz series on movies. Oh by the way, i do have a name in the Quiz world for my Movie Quizzes. But am just trying to keep them simple and guessable. So have fun. And if you still want to check out my earlier movie Quizzes, you can check at my blog.

after seeing the first response, I understand how Farah Khan fits in
Arthi: Raj Kapoor would dedicate his on film to himself?
@Aditya Pant
Arthi: Raj Kapoor would dedicate his on film to himself?…..LOL ;)
Im excited!! Just one quiz q from my side….Who acted as the assistant director in Rangeela & was one of the real assistant directors of the film?
so sorry..that was a real dumb fluke..:-(…
@ Aditya – I am not sure about the Farah Khan connect though – Just figured it out ;)
Aditya: Tomorrow is another Day, an Oscar nominee ;)
BTW there was an old 50’s flick, called Tomorrow is Another Day, but that was way too obscure one.
hmm good going, am waiting to see who would crack Q3, thought it wud be guessable.
3. Casablanca, Usual Suspects
1 Raj Kapoor : Anand, City of Bombay : Taxi Driver (or rather the city of Bombay was in the cast of the film)
@5 Sridhar
Ans: Madhur Bhandarkar
3. The last dialogue in Casablanca: “Round up the Usual Suspects”
@ Swarna, Shahul – Last dialogue in Casablanca “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. “
@ Ratnakar – Minor crib about Q 3 though – The question was clearly last lines of which movie and Round up the usual suspects comes long before the last lines before End.
It’s not even close to be qualified the last line of Casablanca. :(
@Priyam- Hmm ok, guess i could have worded the question in a better way.
Peace…
Good quiz though…
