And if every film based on friendship is inspired by DCH...then every film with any cross border theme is based on Gadar. Veer Zaara, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Deewar, Pinar etc etc. And Shershaah was clearly inspired by Border 😆
Also does this mean that Lagaan didn't have a cultural impact? Because nobody tried making anything like Lagaan again.
Gadar won numerous awards....not that it matters. It's the same 20 people patting each other on the back & getting "inspired" from each other. It's a joke.
DCH did absolutely nothing except maybe a few idiots kept that chin strap for a month or two. As for Gadar, the proof is in the pudding...not just once but twice.
Anyways I'm exhausted...have a good night !
Oh hello, U asked for names of buddy films …I gave them …u didn’t ask for examples of what impact Lagaan had…so I didn’t give them yet …
Most of the films I’ve listed have got filmmakers who’ve themselves claimed they were inspired by dch…or they adopted its syntax of naturalistic dialogues , less melodrama and dialogue bazi…simple..whether you like it or not is none of my concern …
And yea …Lagaans cultural impact is that it won 8 national awards, was nominated for the Oscar’s , not even counting the pan parag zee cine awards that don’t have much credibility anyways … soundtrack made it to the time magazines all time greatest soundtracks ……and no kjo didn’t buy the time magazine or the Oscar’s to make this happen…filmmakers from rakesh roshan to rajamouli have listed it as their fav film…and no kjo didn’t buy them…just because u chose to dismiss them as 4 people dosent make them irrelevant …
If u read up abt it , it also started several practices within the film industry that people adopted in terms of sound recording, budgeting and post production …
Both films forced people in the industry to rethink and change the way they think abt films and filmmaking….That is what breaking new ground is….so they will be held on high regard regardless of them making x crores less than Gadar …
Shit on them as much as u want 😄
