Yo, why is Kesari trending? #desiwatch
@saudaminideo.bsky.social I wanted to boost your thread to #DesiWatch feed: bsky.app/profile/saud... (added you as a contributor to the secondary feed, if you can just use the tag as a reply, so it can show up on both feeds)

I think even shola aur shabnam, (both of these were movies I liked when I was a kid, but I don't think it holds well -- but definitely beats Raja Babu Y_Y and Haseena Maan Jaayegi, i really feel bad that you put yourself through that. #DesiWatch
both of those are rough watch indeed, just started the episode, and 3 min in I had to come and be like, I feel bad for both of you (RB was not so great even as a kid) A lot of early Govinda movies, and a few with Dhawan are good, but these... #DesiWatch

a man in armor stands in front...
I also feel Meghe Dhaka Tara puts the lens on a very specific world which might not be easy to relate to outsiders (this includes non-bengali audiences in general) Btw Titash Ekti Nadir Naam (is one of his most self indulgent work and on my watchlist) #DesiWatch
On the other hand Ray definitely created work which feels more inviting... Oh and apart from Mother India, you could add more of Dutt's filmography from back then as well. 😅 #DesiWatch
I feel Ghatak's work was very self indulgent which makes it a great watch, but I can kinda imagine why it might feel very distant for many (or disliked) I still need to watch a lot of his work. #DesiWatch
