If Movies were Made on Topical Issues

 If they were made on current happenings, their titles might be-

1. Khul ja Hormuz

2. Mamata ki Kshamata

3. Hormuz- Kabhi khushi de kabhi gham

4. LPG- a Neverland

5. Hormuz ki dum Tedhi ki Tedhi

6. Iran Yuddh ka Kahufnaak Sach

7. Israel ki Giraft mein Trump

8. Vijay hi asli cheez hai

9. Keralam aur Raga- ek Prem Kahani

Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai

 What's it about the titles of films? There was a producer-director who insisted on starting his titles with an A. No, he did not direct Awara, but many other films later- Aap ki Kasam was one I think, Aasha another, and several others.

Rakesh Roshan liked K better, so he made Koyla, Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Krrish, and so on.

Then there was another K fan who was also a Dharmendra fan, and made Khel Khiladi Ka, and so on. I think his name was Arjun Hingorani. Rekha sang Maine Ais to nahi kaha tha, to Dharmendra's Rafta Rafta where they are hanging on a JCB a few hundred metres from earth.

Not sure if there were any fans of B, C, D or E. But B.R. Chopra seemed to like one word titles- Hamraaz and Gumraah being examples. Both also had Ravi as their music director, and great songs by Mahendra Kapoor. Neele gagan ke tale and Chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi ban jaayen hum are my favourites. He also made Dhund, and Ittefaq, and Kanoon, I think.
