GAJA GAMINI - ANYONE REMEMBERS?

It was a huge flop

I remember watching it as a kid and didn't understand it, apparently nobody has seen it and those who did never understood it..

anyone seen and udnerstood the movie?

It had big names like Shahrukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, and more.

My god, why do you remember this movie all of a sudden?

Gaja gamini means lady with a beautiful walk like elephant.

I liked that word and had high hopes on that movie but reviews are so bad i never dared to watch it.

The movie was M F Hussain tribute for Madhuri's beauty. Everyone know how smitten he was of her 😳

Yeah I watched it when I was a kid. Never understood it. Don’t even remember properly coz I was so bored. Maybe I will rewatch now. Probably will be able to comprehend better.

My god.. Awful movie. Kya yaad dila diya. I couldn't even sit through half of it. It was not even a movie, it was like the actors were enacting a play on stage and they recorded it. It was literally that. The theatrics, the shadowy figures denoting the mood of the scene, the acting, everything. I mean a play is a play because it is live, how can one try to pass the same as cinema? 😕

It was an art movie about art and artists and certainly not meant for children. Generally painters have a muse ("kissed by the muse") and for Hassain, it was Madhuri at that time...GG is a hommage to the woman (womanhood) she represents in his opinion.

The movie also shows that art isn't time-bound...Shakespeare's plays of the 15th century are still played in present times, paintings of artists dead since hundreds of years are still relevant. And so is musique, are sculptures and the sense for beauty.

The idea was/is commendable...unfortunately Hussain was not as talented as director as he was as a painter.

I liked the film as an art work but not as an entertaining movie.

I remember as a kid being so excited to see Madhuri + SRK together again. When it came on TV... my whole family sat around to watch it. Eventually my dad changed the channel because he said it was [*redacted]* 🥺
