In the bygone era, filmmakers often opted for concise and memorable movie titles, believing that brevity was key for audience retention. However, there was a shift in this trend, leading to the emergence of some of Bollywood’s lengthiest movie titles. These titles, characterized by seven to eight words, deviated from the conventional norm, often deriving inspiration from popular Bollywood songs. While these lengthy titles did not necessarily encapsulate the essence of the storyline, they succeeded in capturing the attention and amusement of moviegoers.
Ghode Ko Jalebi Khilane Le Ja Riya Hoon (2022):
Director Anamika Haksar’s 2022 release, with the enigmatic title of eight words, took a daring approach to storytelling. Despite its unconventional nature, the film garnered attention and received praise for its distinctive treatment. Starring Raghubir Yadav and an ensemble cast, it left audiences both amused and intrigued.
Ghar Mein Ho Sali To Pura Saal Diwali (2001):
This C-grade romantic comedy from 2001 dared to have an eight-word title, presenting a storyline that justified its unique nomenclature. Featuring an unfamiliar cast led by Amit Pachori, Sanjeevani Gupta, and others, the film struggled to find a substantial audience, primarily limited to small-town single screens.
Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai? (1980):
Saeed Mirza’s venture into parallel cinema resulted in the creation of a movie with a seven-word title. Starring Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, and Smita Patil, this film became one of the early contributors to the trend of lengthy Bollywood titles. Its unconventional nature piqued the interest of audiences inclined towards art cinema in the early 80s.
Andheri Raat Mein Diya Tere Haath Mein (1986):
Directed, produced, and acted by ace-comedian Dada Kondke, this seven-word-titled film ventured into double-meaning humor. Featuring Usha Chavan, Mehmood, Amjad Khan, and others, the film appealed to audiences who appreciated Dada Kondke’s unique brand of comedy, making it a notable entry in the list of lengthy Bollywood titles.
Paap Ko Jalaa Kar Raakh Kar Doonga (1988):
Despite boasting a cast that included Dharmendra, Govinda, Farah Naaz, Anita Raaj, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, and Shakti Kapoor, this revenge action drama faced censorship challenges due to its original seven-word title. The film was eventually released as “Jalaa Kar Raakh Kar Doonga,” disappointing Govinda fans who anticipated a different title.
Raja Ko Rani Se Pyaar Ho Gaya (2000):
While not the lengthiest, this film’s seven-word title stood out. Starring Arvind Swamy and Manisha Koirala, it borrowed its title from a song in the Aamir Khan-starrer “Akele Hum Akele Tum.” Directed by Rajeev Kumar, the film, featuring children and an elephant in prominent roles, took a considerable time to release.
Tu Bal Bramhachari Main Hoon Kanya Kunwari (2003):
Director Bhupeshwar Tyagi’s romantic comedy, with its seven-word title, explored themes of celibacy and religious beliefs. Despite the film’s focus on unique aspects, it failed to make a lasting impact at the box office, fading into obscurity.
Humein Tumse Pyar Ho Gaya Chupke Chupke (2003):
This romantic action drama, also featuring a seven-word title, followed a predictable narrative of boy-meets-girl. While boasting a decent cast with newcomers Siddharth Dhawan and Meghna Desai, the film went unnoticed, eventually sinking without a trace.
Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara! (2013):
A sequel with a tweaked title, this film, featuring Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, and others, attempted to replicate the success of its predecessor. However, it fell short of expectations, marking its place not only in Bollywood sequels but also in the list of films with lengthy titles.
Hey Ram Hamne Gandhi Ko Maar Diya (2018):
Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violence movements, this film directed by Naeem A. Siddiqui was a testament to historical events. Starring Jatin Goswami, Subrat Dutta, Pratima Kazmi, and Samiksha Bhatnagar, the film received critical acclaim despite facing challenges in reaching its desired audience.
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019):
This recent release, with a long title, embraced the theme of unexpected romance. Directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar, the film starred Rajkummar Rao, Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Seema Pahwa, and Regina Cassandra. Tackling themes of identity and acceptance, the film presented a unique narrative within the framework of Bollywood.
Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai? (2019):
Starring Manav Kaul, Nandita Das, and Saurabh Shukla, this film, despite sharing its title with the 1980 release, offered a distinct plot. The storyline, involving the mysterious disappearance of Albert Pinto, added a layer of suspense and intrigue, making it a noteworthy addition to the list of films with extended titles. The movie took nearly five years to complete and release, evident in the continuity jerks and the aging of actors on screen.
