Actress Karishma Tanna, who has bagged the 'Best Lead Actress' award for her work in Netflix's series 'Scoop' at the Busan Film Festival 2023 

so how is the series Give me your thoughts on it, I'm thinking of watching it.

A song that takes you into a fairy tale

Mission Raniganj   is based on a true incident so there is nothing to say. But when something is created by taking inspiration from a true incident, then instead of adding fiction or entertainment element to it, if it is made from the same reality then it would become more thrilling and interesting. Because of this I felt lacking otherwise it was good. Since it is based on a rescue mission, it would have been better if all the facts and steps related to that rescue mission were kept in detail. Many things have been told in brief through songs, which I feel would have been better if told in detail rather than in brief.   6/10

I had seen Thai Cave Rescue  some time ago in which almost every rescue detail was taken care of. Some extraneous elements were added to this too but it did not seem too far from reality. Which was engaging and thrilling for me.

Maybe web series could justify Mission Raniganj  instead of film. 

Gangs of Wasseypur so how is the film Give me your thoughts on it, I'm thinking of watching it.

शुभ प्रभात! MDLer's

Thanks for such a long list   @fml1117 . I have seen some, some have not, your suggestion will be checklisted, I will be waiting for your suggestion in future also.

Indian movies are 2.5-3 hours long, full of colors and emotions, in which no one can get bored. Movies from other countries could not impress me like this even though they are 1.5-2 hours long.

The best example of this is  3.5 hour this movie

 fml1117:
Khabhie khushi khabi gham

Every moment of it is describing the relationships and emotions very well, especially the unexpressed emotions in relationships.I have seen this movie many times, but even today tears come out as I did when I saw it for the first time.

God bless your day and life :)

recently finished Dil Hi Toh Hai , A good family romantic drama. That's 7.5 from me

Satyaprem Ki Katha  watched a decent movie 4/10.  The screenplay lacked the character of the katha. The creator kept an open ending which felt close to the real world situation. I liked it.

Satranga Song Detail

Song: Satranga
Movie: Animal
Singer: Arijit Singh
Lyrics: Manoj Muntashir
Music: Pritam
Featuring: Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna
Label: T-Series

Adha Tera Ishq Adha Mera, Aise Ho Poora Chandrama,

Half love from me and half love from you fills the moon.

Ho Tara Tera Ik Tara Mera, Baki Andhera Asman,

One star is yours, the other is mine, and the rest of the sky is black.


Haan Tere Sang Lage, Bandhe Jo Pipal Pe Dhage,
To become one with you, I made a wish and tied it to a Peepal tree.
Yeh Surme Ke Dhare Behte Hai Nazre Bachake,
Your eyes are like hidden streams of Kohl.

Badrang Mein Satranga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
Your love is full of colors in this color-faded life of mine.
Jogi Main Aur Ganga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
If I were a yogi, your love would be like the holy Ganga to me.


Badrang Mein Satranga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
In this dull life of mine, your love is full of color.
Jogi Main Aur Ganga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
Your love would be like the sacred Ganga to me if I were an ascetic.

Mathe Se Laga Loon Hath, Chhu Ke Main Pair Tere,
I’d touch your feet, then my forehead.
Ho Rakh Loon Main Tan Pe Zakhm, Bana Sare Bair Tere,
I would wear all of your rage on my body in the form of wounds.

Rukna Ni Tu Hun Russna Ni Main,
I would wear all of your rage on my body in the form of wounds.
Tera Ni Reha Te Na Khud Da Vi Main,
I am no longer totally yours, nor do I belong to myself.


Duniya Tu Hi Hai Meri,
You are my whole universe.
Par Na Ana Ab Na Ana, Main Ni Ana Shehar Tere,
But I don’t want to return to your city.

Jo Phere Sang Lage Rakhte Woh Humko Jalaake,
The time we spent roaming around together bothers me a lot.
Woh Vade Jhoothe Vade, Le Ja Tu Kasmein Lagake,
Please take back those unfulfilled promises.

Rag Rag Mein Malanga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
This reckless, inconsiderate love runs through my veins.
Kyu Lahu Mein Hi Ranga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
Why is love infused in my veins?


Ho Badrang Mein Satranga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
The color of your love brightens up my dull life.
Jogi Main Aur Ganga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
If I were a monk, your love would be like the holy Ganga to me.

Tu Meri Sari Yadein Pani Mein Aaj Bahaade,
Please dump all of my memories into the rushing rivers today.
Yeh Teri Bheegi Ankhein, Rakh Loon Labon Se Laga Ke,
I’d keep your wet eyes visualization close to my lips and heart.

Main Samandar Parinda Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
If I am an ocean, then my love is a bird.
Mann Matam Aur Zinda Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
Despite the sorrow in my heart, love remains alive.


Ho Badrang Mein Satranga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
Your love is the brightest hue in this boring life of mine.
Jogi Main Aur Ganga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
If I were an ascetic, your love would be to me like the holy Ganga.

Ho Badrang Mein, Satranga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
The colors of your love bring life to my dull life.
Jogi Main Aur Ganga Hai Yeh Ishq Re,
Your love would be like the holy Ganga to me if I were a ascetic.

Have you  heard  Vaaste and Leja Re  by Dhvani Bhanushali ?

I always come back to these songs when I feel down

@fml1117  Not but I will see now

I hope there are English subtitles.

and thanks for suggestion

I have seen some Indian projects but one thing I don't understand is that in fictional stories the acting of the actors comes out naturally but in the case where it is based on a true incident, there is forced hard work. Why does it appear like this?

hope it Don't  disappoint like Mission Raniganj 

It is based on true events, so  know where the story and other things will go, then the thing to see is the performance of the actors and the direction of the director. 

lets wait .

I'm glad to find this forum since there's barely any information about Indian movies here in MDL.  Good to have a place to share views and discussion.
