Meta... Self Referencing in Bollywood

A compilation of tweets in which film buffs discussed the references (to previous events) filmmakers and directors slipped in. In continuation to something I wrote on my blog (http://diptakirti.blogspot.in/2013/02/more-meta.html)

  1. A post on self-referencing in Hindi movies. Now up on the blog. Read. Think. Add. diptakirti.blogspot.in/2013/02/more-m…
  2. @diptakirti Good one. Also remember one in Andaz Apna Apna about Sholay? Tere baap ne likhi thi? :))
  3. @SukanyaVerma Yes, of course. Brilliant. Also, "Papa kehte they" when Aamir was arrested!
  4. @diptakirti Yes! And Mehmood's Wah Wah Prouctions from Pyar Kiye Jaa to AAA.
  5. @diptakirti In Luck By chance, Ranbir Kapoor said to Rishi Kapoor, "Romi Uncle, you are like a father to me". Does that count reg last post?
  6. @dasCapital_ @diptakirti in fact @ghaywan can provide more insights. Neeraj this is in ref to Diptakirti's last blogpost.
  7. @silverlightgal @dascapital_ @diptakirti Dev.D has Ek do teen char chey.. Paanch omitted. Gulal's Raja Choudhary seen in Dev.D
  8. @silverlightgal @dascapital_ @diptakirti GoW Sardar's house is the same one in which AK and all grew up. Nawaz's romance scenes were his own
  9. @silverlightgal @dascapital_ @diptakirti Nagma's brothel seqnc was a real life incident of a very popular villain of Indian cinema :)
  10. @amitabh4000 @ghaywan @diptakirti @dasCapital_ Most of these are relatively new.Do u know of any 70s movie that had self-refs or other refs?
