As I was reading your post, it occurred to me that I associate dishoom so much with Amitabh that it also, for me, connotes some lankiness or otherwise "unlikely to be super strong" physicality. Which is why it seems right that Shashi and Shammi dishoom, as neither looks very strong. Or Mithun. But Dharmenda looks like he could actually fight somebody. <BR/><BR/>PS My verification word is "rembo." SO CLOSE.<BR/><BR/>But I'm not going to take that up as an actual point. It was just something rattling around in my head. <BR/><BR/>Though I do love idea of rounds of dishoom matches among opponents matched up by various classes - height, dancing skill, whatever.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-10413894958136542312009-02-15T08:26:00.000-08:002009-02-15T08:26:00.000-08:00Beth: Wait.

As for the variety on display here, it is indeed the usual Dharmendra-style meaty-fisted pummeling, combined with Mithun's typically chuckle-inducing kung faux moves, that brings the death trap to its knees.<BR/><BR/>House: I like where you're going with this. Sample dialog: "He calls that a death trap? I wouldn't put my worst enemy in that thing." Also, instead of poisoning themselves at the end, the two lovers can run on a giant, spike-covered hamster wheel or something.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-21885296532449211802009-02-15T04:11:00.000-08:002009-02-15T04:11:00.000-08:00I can see the base for a wonderful film here, the ...I can see the base for a wonderful film here, the tale of two families of death trap builders, trumping and hating each other in death trap designs for generations until two of their children fall in love.houseinrlyeh aka Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548069611516508274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-57743999408620675612009-02-14T13:35:00.000-08:002009-02-14T13:35:00.000-08:00First, how could you resist hte joke MOUSEala Deat...First, how could you resist hte joke MOUSEala Death Trap?<BR/><BR/>Second, LOVE!<BR/><BR/>Third, was dancing involved in beating the death trap into submission, or was it heavier on the Dharmendra-pummeling sort of technique?<BR/><BR/>(Can Dharmendra be said to dishoom, or is he too beefy?)<BR/><BR/>Fourth, I will take up the charge with detailed documentation of <I>Azaad</I>, partly becuase that was my favorite thing in the movie and partly because I don't have any other watched-but-not-written-up lairs in my backlog.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-89928756975620783552009-02-14T13:06:00.000-08:002009-02-14T13:06:00.000-08:00Though I love House's artisanal model, I'd also su...Though I love House's artisanal model, I'd also suggest that perhaps there was some kind of death trap arms race going on between Bollywood villains at the time -- sort of a "keeping up with the Joneses" effect -- with a great many of them competing to top one another, which would explain why, by 1986, things had gotten to such an insane level.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-59891305735430237772009-02-14T11:41:00.000-08:002009-02-14T11:41:00.000-08:00Just fabulous!I think I read somewhere there's som...Just fabulous!<BR/><BR/>I think I read somewhere there's something called the "Guild of Death Trap" builders, hiring their members out to Evil Genii in need of a good trap or two.houseinrlyeh aka Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548069611516508274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-2975410495461028352009-02-14T11:31:00.000-08:002009-02-14T11:31:00.000-08:00OMG!!!!!
