Channel V called House Arrest and along with Jaaved Jaffrey's Flashback (a truly funny, engaging show about songs from old movies), it was the show I watched all the time. They weren't very VJ-y either which is why I liked them. <BR/><BR/>They have (had?) another show a couple of years back too which I didnt know about until recently.<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqBFMLPhWgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-62858342212056314512009-02-09T16:13:00.000-08:002009-02-09T16:13:00.000-08:00Awww, but I *loved* Bheja Fry!

Vinay is my favoritest actor EVER. He is the sugar to my coffe, the Bunty to my Babli, the Pran to my P-PCC ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-87618637440240087692009-02-09T12:04:00.000-08:002009-02-09T12:04:00.000-08:00Memsaab - I actually did laugh quite a bit at Ranv...Memsaab - I actually did laugh quite a bit at Ranvir's performance, but it was from waaay out of left field. Vinaaaaay: so freaking ADORABLE.<BR/><BR/>Gauri - What an idea! At first, I thought, no way, Anil is way too goofy to play a believably sinister Bond villain. But then, maybe if he channeled an EVEN MORE SLEAZY Bhaiyyaji from Tashan, that would work. Anyway, it'd be a movie to see, that's for sure! (And if they resurrected Giancarlo, it would be THE BEST FILM EVER MADE.)<BR/><BR/>Filmi Girl - Meh, I would say it's quite good, at least worth one viewing. Thanks for the recs! I've asked DVDwallah to scrounge out Waisa Bhi... I like Arshad a lot, but he's never taken over the PPCC (as you may have noticed). Maybe he'll be next!<BR/><BR/>Amrita - I can't believe they were VJs! Actually, no, I can believe Ranvir was, but Vinay?!a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-39260270231177565802009-02-09T08:39:00.000-08:002009-02-09T08:39:00.000-08:00The downside of the Ranvir Vinay pairing is that w...The downside of the Ranvir Vinay pairing is that when they get together they immediately slip into this chemistry that sometimes makes you think these two are in a different movie than the rest of the cast. or maybe I'm projecting because I remember them from their VJ days. <BR/><BR/>Bheja Fry 2 is apparently in the works right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-20476348888453388812009-02-09T08:10:00.000-08:002009-02-09T08:10:00.000-08:00I didn't know this was based on that French movie!...I didn't know this was based on that French movie! I saw that a few years ago - it's very funny. I might skip this one if it's not as good AND if Ranvir is off his game.<BR/><BR/>Vinay Pathak was good in <B>Manorama Six Feet Under</B>, as well. Indie Stand-by Sarkia was in that one, too.<BR/><BR/>I really want to know what you think of <B>Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part II</B> - maybe Arshad will become a PPCC fave after that...Filmi Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292362161639177666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-25797345936175171652009-02-09T06:07:00.000-08:002009-02-09T06:07:00.000-08:00I remember Ranvir and Vinay doing a sketch-comedy ...I remember Ranvir and Vinay doing a sketch-comedy routine on MTV India when I was a kid many many years ago and they have lots of residual goodwill from then,<BR/>Your reference to Mathieu Amalric made me think that it would be wonderful if Anil Kapoor can use his new found fame to be the next Bond villian.
