The Days Before Nollywood Came by shumuel(m): 12:44pm On Aug 03, 2016 |
Do you remember the Old days of Indian Movies in Nigeria? The days before Nollywood came ? The days of Nagin (Snake Girl) Dus Numbri (Number 10) yeh vaada raha (The Promise), Mard Shooley Ghazab Amar akbar anthony Toofan, etc? Please be honest, aren't you missing these movies? Aren't you missing those very handsome Indian Heroes? Their very beautiful, sexy, yet decently dressed damsels? Their heart wrenching/heart breaking songs, and their mind blowing story lines ? I took time to arrange 12 of such Indian Movies of years past for my fellow Nairalanders and I ask you... 1. PLEASE KINDLY REMIND ME OF THE ONES I FORGOT TO INCLUDE 2. PLEASE SHARE THE STORY-LINES OF SOME OF THESE MOVIES BECAUSE THIS POST WILL LOOK VERY STRANGE TO SOME NAIRALAND

There was also Tu/Toofan. Funny enough in my household we hardly watched Indian cinema. The movies we had in bulk were oldschool American ones like Guess who's coming to dinner, Cleopatra, Sound of Music, Samson and Delilah, Roots (70s version), the 10 commandments, She and a few blaxploitation films. The Indian films I remember watching very well were Amar, Akbar, Anthony and a film where the protagonist was a dog very loyal to his master who went on a revenge mission after the deaths of both his master and wife at the hands of three hoodlums -- very interesting movie. |

For those who have at least 300MB to exhaust: http://vodlocker.com/62dvaqlns3ja It's the original 70s movie of Amar, Akbar and Anthony watchable online. Would've searched for others on the list but Indian cinema doesn't hit me with nostalgia especially knowing the average Indian's attitude towards negroes. Someone should remind me how we made sense of these movies, did they come with English subtitles or did we watch them repeatedly and understand the stories afterwards from actions depicted? |

charix:Those times are evergreen. I remember the first time I watched Titanic was with family and friends and it was only available then in a video cassette that contain a thin, flat, black film. You never want to miss any moment. @bolded: I remember that movie too. It was about a black dog avenging the unfortunate death of its master. And each time it lay to perfect rest one of the killers, he always places a flower atop his master's grave. There is this scene a brute was trying to rape the man's wife, but the dog arrived just in time to save the day. I cry tire that time sha. 1 Like |

Re: The Days Before Nollywood Came by Nobody: 4:18pm On Aug 04, 2016 |
charix:Amongst my friends and I, we used to call it "Dog Revenge". Lol. I think that's the English translation of the movie's title. |
