John Talks Indian Cinema: The Indian Cine-MANIAC!

Ok fellow MANIACS! I wanted to thank you all for joining the channel, for those who have been around since day 1, big shout out. 

Every so often I post questions to get the whole community involved. Since I have picked up some new subscribers I thought I would put one out today. It’s a very simple one. If you could pick one film that you think represents Indian Cinema the best, from any region, what would it be? Asking another way, if you could only watch one Indian film for the rest of your life, which would you choose? 

If I haven’t seen it and it’s available to stream, I will add it to my ever growing recommendation list. Join the community and give me your pick. Thanks again for the amazing support. - The Indian Cine-MANIAC!

Just wanted to give all you MANIACS! a big thank you. As of two days ago the channel has reached the 1500 subscriber goal!!

What a wild ride it’s been in less than a year.
Keep the recommendations coming and your ideas to build the channel. Together we will grow the MANIAC! community to a global institution. Now…on to 2000.

Hey all you MANIACS! First, as always, I want to thank you for your continued support. I plateaued a bit but I am inching ever closer to the 1500 sub goal. I wanted to give you a heads up on the next batch of 10ish-Minute Reviews that will be dropping.

Before I get to that I wanted to also let you know that I have upgraded my studio a bit. As my channel grows, I want to up my game. You’ll see it when the next review Ghayal Once Again Drops. I am also adding a new segment at the end of that review instead of the secret word. I want to get people to watch till the end (Damn algorithm) so I am changing things up. Watch for it near the end of Ghayal.
Here's the list of the next reviews in order. Now, if a new film drops or I do a trailer reaction, it could change a bit. The list consists of your recommendations and a few I am watching on my own. Thanks again for your continued support. Jai Hind!

- Ghayal Once Again
- Dosti (1964)
- Superboys of Malegaon
- Mary Kom
- Bandit Queen
- Billu
- Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins
- Rangeela
- Good Bad Ugly (This one could drop sooner)

I’m sure you’ll all have lots to say of some of these choices, so have at it. Please remember to SMASH THE LIKE BUTTON! Even if you only watch a little…it helps…I swear. ‪@johntalksindiancinema‬ #ghayalonceagain #dosti #Sueprboysofmalegaon #indiancinema #indiancinemareviews #marykom #Banditqueen #Billu

I just read a list of the top ten Indian Films of the past decade. Out of the ten, I have seen six of them. Not sure I agree with the list but in my opinion 12th Fail is the best one on this list. (Although since RRR started this whole thing, I do have a soft spot) What do you think of the list and is there another film you think should have made this list? Let me know all you MANIACS! Here's the list (No particular order...*Movies I've seen):

- Girls will be Girls 2024
- *Aavesham (LOVE THIS ONE!) 2024
- Three of Us 2022
- Kishkindha Kaandam 2024
- *Great Indian Kitchen 2021
- *Laapataa Ladies 2023
- Masaan 2015
- *12th Fail 2023
- *Kumbalangi Nights 2019
- *RRR 2022


Allright MANIACS! can't wait to hear from you. Have at it! ‪@johntalksindiancinema‬ #indiancinema #indiancinemareviews

To all of you in and from India, I just read about what happened in Kashmir. 26 dead and 17 injured in a cowardly terrorist attack. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and I hope the people who did this are brought to justice. Jai Hind!

Hey all you fellow MANIACS! First, thanks for all the support. With your help the channel is getting ever closer to the 1500 subscriber goal. Your loyalty and support is humbling.

Secondly, I am getting questions as to when I will get to your particular recoimmendation. Just so you know how it works, I watch it, edit it, then schedule the post. They are spread out every couple of days to keep the content flowing. I wanted you to know what's coming up. So here's what will posting the next few weeks. (This excludes out of the theater review like Jaat and Good Bad Ugly and any emergency trailer reactions) Here's the list: (No comments on my own horrible choices, I've watched it and I will review it...you'll know which one when you see the list)

- Khiladi
- Ground Zero Trailer Reaction
- Sky Force
- Force 2
- "I"
- Raajneeti
- Hum
- Happy New Year
- Raitu Ka Raaz
- Mathu Vadalara

I am requesting someone recommend a good Aamir Khan film that I haven't already seen. I haven't watched a film of his for a while. So that's the list now you can all start with "Why are you wasting your time with that stupid film?" Remember that most of these are recommended by fellow MANIACS! so please...be kind.

Hey all you fellow MANIACS! In my quest to expand the John Talks Indian Cinema I have created a new Facebook page. ON it we can have more conversations, and you can offer more in-depth movie or trailer requests. I hope this is another way to expand the subscribers and increase the number of MANIACS! out there. Take a look and I hope you will follow and like the page. Work in progress so ever changing. As always thanks for your continued support. I am humbled by it.
