I faintly remember the backdrop of a movie which I saw (partly) when I was very young. I tried to find it punching some keywords on Google but that didn't yield any fruitful results.

Does anyone remember a movie where a doctor had to make a choice between operating a patient road side or take him to a hospital (both options being risky). Doc chooses to operate/ treat him on the roadside but patient dies. Later the doctor is charged with negligence etc.

If anyone knows about it, please let me know- I have been searching this for long. The movie has to be from the 70s or 80s. Don't remember any actor from it.

ChatGPT to the rescue. According to the AI the movie must be "Anand (1971)".

Haven't seen Anand but just read the plot on Wikipedia. Seems the story is very different from what saket77 mentioned.
ChatGPT got it wrong this time.

Thanks but no, not Anand. Anand was pretty mainstream movie. I believe, given the efforts I have put without any results, the movie I am looking for, may not be as mainstream. I am looking for the movie as to see the moral vs professional conflict that might have been portrayed in it. At that time, I was too young to understand this, but now this interests me immensely.

Thanks.

Any chance you remember the actors? Also are you sure the movie was originally in Hindi and not a dubbed version from any other regional language?

I tried searching using Gemini and Perplexity. Gemini hallucinated a lot giving me non existent movie names and fake plots of other movie. Perplexity atleast told me it didn't know. Your query has not only stumped humans but a lot of powerful cutting edge machines as well :)

Unfortunately cannot remember any actor from the movie. I must have been 5 or 6 when I saw it. As you pointed out, this could be a regional dubbed movie as well. It must have been telecasted on Doordarshan as back then, it was the only TV channel we knew!

:Drl:
Exhausted my smiley quota of this post!

The answer must be buried someplace impregnable and very secure.

Why else would chatgpt suggest that the name I was looking for was Drishyam starring Ajay Devgn!!!

Seems AI is too busy taking over jobs and hasn't got time or interest for movies.lol:

The Crew on Netflix

A sufficiently entertaining movie with enough moments of laughter, and a storyline that you don't have to think too much over. It is at the right balance of being realitistic and taking creative liberty. :D A nice movie you can watch at home with family.

3.5/5

Off late, movies seem to be overhyped. Few movies which were released in the past year and had "good" reviews that I wanted to watch them in a theatre. Due to one reason or the other, we never could and finally caught up on the OTT. Never quite liked them and we were glad we didn't visit the theatre. Shaitan, Zara Hatke Zara Bacchke, Mudgaon Express are few such examples. Worth 2-2.5 stars at max.

Laapata Ladies was the exception!

True that- recently watched Madgaon Express and both me and my wife were like, what is the hype all about ? Apart from a few moments with Upendra Limaye, I did not get even a single giggle. If there was humour intended here, it would have to be an acquired taste. I think the decade old Chennai Express was a bit more valiant, albeit extravagant effort.

On the other hand, I thought "Do Aur Do Pyaar" starring Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi is a decent watch, a take on extra-marital relationships without being judgmental. Again, not the best movie I have been in recent times, but we aren't spoilt for choice these days.

Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout



This was just decent. Nothing exceptional or great. They do try to bring in lot of twists but the execution was bland. Could have made it better. Acting was pretty ordinary as well.

Rating - 2/5 (Zee5). Watchable.

Maidaan



I have always enjoyed biopics and this was good as well. After a long time, I liked Ajay Devgn's acting. Not many expressions, but he did it well. The players were exceptional so was the cinematography. End credits were pretty special too.

Rating - 4/5 (Amazon - rent). Recommended.

Crew



Nothing new here - Same old "heist" story with some leading ladies. It's definitely watchable but too many unnecessary elements like plugging in some famous old songs and ad placements. At times, the ladies were over the top with their acting. Just watch with zero expectations - then you will enjoy it.

Rating - 2.5/5 (Netflix). Watchable.

Crew on Netflix.

Typical heist story. The 3 leading ladies have done a decent job. Intermittent moments of laughter. All-in-all, a one-time watch with family.

Rating: 3/5

Yodha on Amazon Prine - 1/5

Full of Flaws. The movie is full of hundreds of technical mistakes and baseless aviation science. There is not a single ounce of logic in this terrible and senseless movie.

House of lies



Tried a typical whodunit movie but the execution was really bad in this. Everything was wrong - direction, acting screenplay etc. The investigation didn't make sense at all as well. Why would ED join in with the murder investigation? Won't it be done separately?

Rating - 1/5 (Zee5). AVOID!
