Bollywood Round 2
Another Bollywood film, this time Dharam Veer. We thought it might be from the 80s, but it's from the 70s. As one of the reviews says, "its the special effects and poorly edited action sequences that make the film look a bit dated"...Special effects that include horses leaping down from castles to the ground below; fight sequences with tigers; lots of jumping onto horses (ouch); hands getting chopped off; re-used clips of belly-flops from ships into the sea; falcons carrying babies and a plethora of other awesome clips. There were midgets and gypsies and princes and princesses and did I mention the falcon? The same review says, "Various parallel well knit side tracks enhance the pace of the film"...hmm...but certainly did not speed the pace of the film! Three hours was a long time to spend on the broken seats. But it was enjoyable; it was crazy.
