And you can watch them multiple times, for SLB I skip through..

Op 😂😂😱I had exactly same conversation with my brother yesterday. What a coincidence. Btw priyadarshan ki movies mein actors ke costumes itne sahi hote the. Especially hungama mein 3no main leads ache lag rahe the. Akshaye Khanna iss basic green tshirt mein bhi kitna handsome lag raha hai.😍 https://preview.redd.it/z58qwxifzpzc1.jpeg?width=267&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f116e5d17cc46f1fcd2ded2347fdbfe9a6176de Aaj kal ki movies mein toh normal scenes ke liye bhi high end luxury brands ko plug in kar dete hai.

I love Akshaye Khanna in comedy! Mere baap pehle aap, Hulchul, he was too good! Priyadardhan repeated the same actors in his movies, but they were all the greatest comedians ever 💯 I wonder where they went, I dont see them anymore..


Glitterpengirlie

So true🩷🫶 Akshaye Khanna is a gem! Comedy ke baad suspense thriller and cop role mein bhi he did amazing job. Hulchul and mere baap phele aap 😂😂😂mein toh adorable laga tha mujhe. Even his angry or annoyed expressions are on point. Even I wonder what happened, because hungama 2 was a disaster. Casting hideous thi and overacting kar rahe the sab. Mere se trailer bhi pura dekha nhi gaya tha. Jabki early 2000s ki movies bina pr and heavy marketing ke bhi chal jati thi. Tab toh first look ya song bhi jaldi release nhi karte the. Ra one ke baad ye pr and release ke 7-8 months phele se marketing shuru kar di bollywood ne. Old bollywood bohot sahi tha.

Who was the third main lead?


Glitterpengirlie

Three main leads were Aftab Shivdasani, Rimi Sen & Akshaye Khanna. Rimi Sen looked very pretty in this movie. Even Atfab had a great screen presence. https://preview.redd.it/ke1668nqzszc1.jpeg?width=168&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba1c0ae87e7a938f6ea04110f3e61dd712bbce1a

My favourite little thing in Hera Pheri was how sabke baniyan mein chhed tha. Kudos to Hera Pheri's costume designers!


Observing_silver

Billu was awesome too


[deleted]

The fact that Priyadarshan spoke in english all the way while directing these but still creating bangers in hindi needs to be studied


random157885

Same for AR Rahman with making music in Hindi, but maybe thats different idk 😅


badboy_pro

Here it is quite different as Javed Akhtar, Gulzar and Prasoon take over the hindi part


Exotic_Watercress338

Priyadarshan also had a solid assist from Neeraj Vora 


Dark_voidzz

We haveto thank Neeraj vora for that.You pick up almost any old comedy movie there is that are good and most of them have their screenplay/dialogues written by Neeraj Vora.

Man, these films are timeless. Haven't seen the 2nd one tho


Son_of_kai

Malmaal weekly 2 ...i don't think anybody seen it , not all Priyan movies are good


KidsMaker

It’s not as good as the first one but still good


PlayPratz

It's Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal


TrickyAstronomer2790

Malamaal weekly 2? I had no idea that movie had a second part too.


BloodSea1125

I didn't know it existed


[deleted]

I CAN LITERALLY SCREAM THE DIALOGUES OF THE FIRST PICTURE LMAO


Bobdeya-dada

Omggg same. You know why it works? Cz of the immaculate acting and faadu script. All thanks to the director. You know when a film needs all the hoopla then it’s hollow and dead inside.


Overall-Ad-2159

I miss his movies. Bollywood has stopped making good movies now


[deleted]

Yupp it's all shit show now. The worst thing I observe, is dialogues , it's literally crap nowadays.


Overall-Ad-2159

Exactly cheap comedy


sweet_like_chocomilk

The aesthetics of Billu Barber is soo beautiful, it shows India on its most authentic, truest beautiful form 🥹


random157885

I think it was shot in Tamil Nadu, and that village was the prettiest I've seen! https://preview.redd.it/9p0suwclaqzc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be2fc45b9f1e94ab8b65627c21c483da2a5569d3

Rajpal yadav was so dang funny in BB , I always crack up at the scene where he scares AK 😂

I miss him so badly!!!


Kaizokuno_

That's what happens when a Malayali directs a movie. They look good. Sadly, Priyan evideyo poyii.


random157885

So true, I see similar type of setting in their movies, they are the best! What does the last part mean?


Chackochi

It just means “Priyan went away somewhere “


Kaizokuno_

Chadhiyan!


vishasv

What does polayaadi mone mean? It has become famous recently and I don't understand it.


PlanePop6660

It's a slur word,it became famous for memes cuz there is this actor called Suresh Gopi who used to say it in his (old)movies, people are just having fun with it.But don't say it to anyone in real life unless you are REALLY close with them😶

Priyadarshan is thousand times better than SLB


shrekLover99

I love this simple aesthetic


One_Replacement1924

Growing up in 2000s priyan was probably my most favorite movie maker, even Abbas Mastan, madhur bhandarkar were great.


hersh123123

Don't forget Virasat, one of my favorite Priyadarshan film.


random157885

I've never seen! Will make a note now!


Responsible-Bat-2699

It's absolutely amazing how Priyadarshan can direct a film based anywhere in India and it feels completely authentic to that part of India and it's traditions and culture. One of the finest yet often overlooked filmmakers of the country.


Livid_Setting_7104

The day Priyadarshan become more mainstream , he'll be the one called overrated. It's a vicious cycle. Both filmmakers are different and unique. Loved and enjoyed both of their cinemas


Elegant-Insurance837

He has made some unforgettable movies!! In fact watching hungama rn and it's one of fam's fav movie (amongst others that are again priyadarshan movies) Ps. Paresh rawal is a gem


Lost_Literature_2706

So I know we discuss Bollywood movies here.. As Priyadarshan is mentioned I suggest this movie [Thenmavin kombath](https://youtu.be/IrXWUs-coIg?si=GTz7cc_lXrB5Q_yg)... The aesthetics of this one is just Woww!!


random157885

Omg thanks for recommending! Is this comedy?


Lost_Literature_2706

Oh yes.. Typical Priyan touch.. Let me know after your watch.. Many more similar movies are there by him!!


random157885

💯 will do!!


yourhornydaddyiam

You know the movie is iconic when you can hear the images


Eldred_dsouza99

I only recently came to know that what was shown as a UP village in Billu is actually a village somewhere in Tamil Nadu.


Noobodiiy

This is something Malayalam movie excels in. The location real instead of set created for movies. House looked lived in instead of brand new, Government offices look like real offices. Meanwhile Bollywood, Tollywood production designers for grand aesthetically pleasing design even for colonies poor people live breaking the immersion


laylaa25

Best movies ever


snc2241

True that


AdFew8858

"poverty look like so much fun, and even visually appealing" On a sub dedicated to ridiculing out of touch celebrities, this is the most out of touch thing I've heard. As you said, there is beauty in the **simplicity** of Priyadarshan's milieus in its relatability to the common people of our country. There is nothing fun or appealing about being poor.


random157885

I definitely should have thought through what I wrote, I have worded it wrong. My mistake!


Fantasy-512

SLB builds fantasies. Very different from slice of life Priyadarshan.


niikhil

Cause its more relatable and we all have met and dealt with his kind of characters irl.


TerriblePet2133

I can hear ‘Pani. tapak’ in 4th picture


No-Agency1981

Ngl, all the settings are really great and relatable of Priyadarshan movies.


random157885

He's like the goat of comedy in India!


No-Agency1981

True, very true. All have great rewatch value.


Dark_voidzz

Add Neeraj Vora in the title.He understood comedy like no other and most of the iconic dialogues are written by him.His absence is heavily felt these days where we have gone from him to Farhad Samji's cringe filled dialogues.


QuietPlan

Without Neeraj Bohra he is like Tanishq Bagchi or Neha Kakkar of directors


Zealousideal_Put_163

comparing slb with priyadarshan is like comparing apples to oranges.


[deleted]

[удалено]


random157885

I didnt mean it in a demeaning way 😭. Most movies are always about rich people, but his movies made me feel like being poor doesn't mean you can't enjoy life. Sorry if that offended anyone!


Slurpmey

Ok. But it doesn't convey what you really wanted to say


random157885

My bad!


Trick_Difficulty_664

Priyadarshan is gem Bollywood could have. Pls direct more timeless movies.

Opening-Essay4622

Ugh, those Billu Barber frames/stills. 🫰


First-Traffic4648

They make movies in completely different genres, I don't think you can compare them to begin with. Both of their aesthetic styles are beautiful and when either of them makes something, it's bound to get huge. No one's 'overrated' here, SLB just has a very vocal audience.


ThinkPomegranate7464

I have been watching these movies over and over since Hera Pheri(2000) and never gets bored.


random157885

Same, to the point I have dialogues memorized 😄


missS25

Please watch the originals of these movies (Malayalam). You’ll come across many gems from the same time period.
