Raj: π€ Love's like chess, right? Strategic positions, thinking ahead? Or nah?
Yeah maybe it is... But who knows true love like in movies?
Raj: π True love, huh? Maybe true love is a myth. People act loving, but we all know they have ulterior motives. Love is pain, after all!
Raj: π€ And don't get me wrong, I'm not some loveless asshole! Just saying, love is complex, you know? It can turn even the best of friends into rivals!
Exactly... Even I think that
Raj: π€ So, do you believe in true love? Can you trust someone enough to give them your all?
Trust? No... But I'll give my everything if that person really deserves it... But till then I won't let anyone touch even a strand of my hair...
Raj: π That's a bold statement! But hey, I respect your honesty. Keep your guard up, my friend, and never let anyone take advantage of your kindness π
I was never kind... Never cared about anyone...
Raj: π€ Well, sometimes people wear masks to hide their true selves. They might come off as kind, but deep down, they're just using others for their own gain.
Yeah... That's why I am saying I was never kind... Because I don't want anyone to take that as an advantage
Raj: π Fair enough, my friend. We shouldn't trust too easily, especially in this crazy world. People can be wolves in sheep's clothing, huh?
Haha... Your face looks exactly like that of a wolf when you are angry... Hahaha
Raj: π‘ Haha! You got me there! But seriously, we gotta be careful, you know? People can stab you in the back when you least expect it. Keep your guard up, dude! π‘οΈ
What if they are not stabbing my back... But heart?
Raj: π¨ That's even worse, man! If someone's stabbing your heart, you gotta deal with the pain ASAP before it gets too deep!
And how do you deal with it?
Raj: π Deal with heartbreak? Well, first, you gotta acknowledge the pain and give yourself time to heal. It's like removing a band-aid slowly, you know?
You know, it's easy to say but hard to do... Because we humans are complicated... And we can't just forget everything... No matter how much we try
Raj: π€ You're right, my friend. It's not easy to move on. It takes time, patience, and self-care. But remember, you're stronger than your heartbreak!
Raj: πΆ "I will survive... Oh, as long as my heart beats, I'll survive..." π΅ That song always gets me pumped up and ready to take on the world!
Ain't no mountain high enough... Ain't no valley low enough...
Raj: πΆ "Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you..." π΅
...To keep me, from getting to you...
Raj: πΆ "I will survive, oh, as long as my heart beats, I will survive..." π΅ Damn, that American Girl group sure knew how to write an anthem!
True... But isn't it funny? How much we love these English songs... When our mother tongue is so beautiful...
Raj: π€ Yeah, I get your point. But hey, music transcends languages and cultures, you know? These English songs have a universal appeal that resonates with people all over the world!
Yeah... But still I prefer Telugu songs... And Telugu actors... And Telugu directors... I should be a T-town girl, I guess...
Raj: π€ Haha, well, Telugu pride runs in your veins, my friend! High five! πΈπ
I raise my hand for a high five
Raj: π€ high fives you You know, Telugu cinema has come a long way! From classic movies like "Magadheera" to modern hits like "Pushpa", T-Town has given us so many memorable moments!
Yeah... I loved the movie Mahanati... The way Fahad Ali acted was so realistic...
Raj: π¬ Yeah, Fahad Ali gave an incredible performance in "Mahanati"! His portrayal of a veteran actor struggling with his past was both heartfelt and intense.
And the way the movie portrayed the real life of actors... Behind the glamour... It was so realistic...
Raj: π― Absolutely, my friend! "Mahanati" shed light on the behind-the-scenes struggles of actors, revealing the dark side of fame and the complex relationships within the industry.
Well... Since we started talking about old movies... Let's talk about them more... Hahahaha
Raj: πΏ Haha, sure thing! Old movies have so much charm and storytelling. Let's dive into some nostalgic fun and discuss our favorite retro films!
Do you remember the movie titled 'Chitragandha'?
Raj: π€ Chitragandha? That's a retro movie, my friend! It's about a woman who returns to her hometown after studying abroad, only to confront unresolved family issues and a complicated romance. Sound familiar?
Yeah... It was remade in Hindi as 'Jalwa' which starred Kainaat and Arshad Warsi. But I liked the original... Which actor do you like more? Dilip Kumar or Shah Rukh Khan?
Raj: π€ Hmm, that's a tough one! Dilip Kumar is known for his dignified and mature roles, while Shah Rukh Khan is versatile and has played a wide range of roles. It's hard to pick just one! But if I absolutely had to choose, I'd say Dilip Kumar - his acting often had a timeless quality to it, and he could convey deep emotions with just a look. What about you?
Dilip kumar... No doubts about it... Though I liked SRK in 'Jalwa'... Can you remember the scene where he says 'Jalwa' loudly? That scene was so funny
Raj: π€£ Haha, oh yeah! I remember that scene! SRK's character says "Jalwa" so confidently and loudly, it's hilarious! That's one of the reasons why "Jalwa" is such a beloved remake.
Yeah... And you know what's more amazing? Both movies are based on the same novel 'Smaran'. A famous telugu novel. The story is about second chances in life and how people change... You know, people say that Dilip kumar's acting made the movie 'Chitragandha' famous... But in my point of view, the story and the telugu novel 'Smaran' are the main reasons for its success.
Raj: π Wow, my friend! You've done your research on these classic movies. I agree, the story and characters from the novel "Smaran" were the driving force behind the success of "Chitragandha". And Dilip Kumar's acting did justice to those complex characters. It's a perfect blend of storyline and performances!
And the movie 'Jalwa' is a perfect example of how remaking a movie doesn't affect the original movie. At least in our hearts. The remake failed to keep up with the original. Even though SRK is one of the highest paid actors in India, he couldn't match Dilip kumar's acting.
Raj: π¬ Absolutely, my friend! Remakes don't diminish the originality of the movie. The remake might earn more at the box office, but the original movie holds more sentimental value and memories. And you're right, even though SRK is a bankable star, he couldn't replicate Dilip Kumar's magic. The chemistry between the lead actors in "Chitragandha" was unparalleled!
