I personally find her performance more hilarious than touching, which is universally recognized as a flaw in my moral character, but no female drunking contest can be run without her.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888019230555832929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-53057830439086396942008-08-06T01:49:00.000-07:002008-08-06T01:49:00.000-07:00Ectp - Alas, I haven't seen Arth Satya yet, though...Ectp - Alas, I haven't seen Arth Satya yet, though I'm DYING to.<BR/><BR/>Eliza - Oh dear, I had to Google-define "neophyte", but welcome!

Shashi would definitely win that.<BR/><BR/>Forgot to mention; Colin Farrell said in the commentary for that movie about the CIA recruit that he plays an awful drunk, which is pretty funny considering his self-admitted fondness for the booze. So perhaps experience isn't the best way to play it well--maybe staying sober and observing the drunks is!ajnabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296593338690811213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-14167611731146730122008-07-24T05:56:00.000-07:002008-07-24T05:56:00.000-07:00Bollywood neophyte here voting for Amitabh and eve...Bollywood neophyte here voting for Amitabh and even though I love the reviews here, I simply don't share the Sashi love (except maybe for his eyelashes) yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-7159098905360645212008-07-24T01:30:00.000-07:002008-07-24T01:30:00.000-07:00I think you missed Naseeruddin Shah in "Ardh Satya...I think you missed Naseeruddin Shah in "Ardh Satya".<BR/>a sharaabi suspended police officer with a chirstian name, if I remember correctly.ectphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002385754890856023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-11972809272063935042008-07-23T22:49:00.000-07:002008-07-23T22:49:00.000-07:00In the Dance-off I think the poll was stacked with...In the Dance-off I think the poll was stacked with Big B fans. :-( For my part Shashi would get my vote for better dancing in <I>any</I> song against AB.

Amitabh's 'little Amitabh' in a bottle from Suhaag is actually my favorite scene to do with alcohol in general. But the winner is? A tie - given to both of them for the (pretend) drunken driving scene in Silsila :)<BR/><BR/>p.s. Karma is about as much fun as you can have with an 80's multi-starrer *Dilip Kumar, Naseer, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor & Sridevi.

If you liked this song, also, you might enjoy <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzafg-ZcpaU" REL="nofollow">Aur Nahin Bas Aur Nahin</A> from <A HREF="http://p-pcc.blogspot.com/2008/05/roti-kapada-aur-makaan-1974.html" REL="nofollow">Roti Kapada Aur Makaan</A> - it has a similar vibe of forced cheer, brooding undercurrents, and weird 70s clap-happy partying ("Ha <I>ha</I>!"), however all sans alcohol.<BR/><BR/>Jabberwock - Regarding SRK's teetotaling, I think I read this in <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/King-Bollywood-Seductive-Indian-Cinema/dp/0446578584" REL="nofollow">Anupama Chopra's biography</A> - at least, I recall her talking about how SRK was deciding whether to method act Devdas a bit (!) - can't remember what he actually decided to do. Didn't know about Amitabh, but I'm not surprised! I think my favorite drunken Amitabh scene is his temple-top tantrum in <A HREF="http://p-pcc.blogspot.com/2007/11/suhaag-1979.html" REL="nofollow">Suhaag</A>.

But he must win something - he MUST. <BR/><BR/>Filmi Girl - Ah yes, Prem Kahani! I need to see that, though Rajesh Khanna is sorting of putting me off. I think my fave drunken Shashi scene is from <A HREF="http://p-pcc.blogspot.com/2007/10/namak-halaal-1982.html" REL="nofollow">Namak Halaal</A>, where he gets drunk and tries to woo that Amazon assassin woman, ahahaha! Thanks for pointing out the PPCC's gender bias, as always. Kajol in <A HREF="http://p-pcc.blogspot.com/2007/08/dilwale-dulhania-le-jayenge-1995.html" REL="nofollow">DDLJ</A> is so fab, she would win it hands-down.

Interesting given that some of his most audience-pleasing scenes in films were drunken ones. My five-year-old self beseeches me to vote for the "Chal Mere Bhai" song in <I>Naseeb</I> (with a drunk Amitabh and a cutesy, collegey Rishi Kapoor as his kid brother). That song was one of my anthems when I was a child.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-5858459682310671282008-07-23T08:22:00.000-07:002008-07-23T08:22:00.000-07:00I had to vote Naseer for sheer realism; however, i...I had to vote Naseer for sheer realism; however, if we were voting for favorite performance rather than best performance I'd pick Shashi and whatshername all the way.
