Underdog

This has been the safe bet for making movies for ages now. People have been complaining that indian movies lack the freshness . There are a handfull of themes and movies have been , are being and will be made only these themes. Revenge , love and the main most famous themes we come across. If we watch closely , even hollywood too have a set of themes and movies on these have been coming out from ages now. 'Underdog' is one thing which i feel has not lost its freshness yet. The latest example is 'Glory Road' and its box office collections. Movies on this topic are coming from ages now. Infact some movies are even being remade , the latest example is 'The Longest Yard'. There have been serious movies like Coach Carter, Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights, Rudy etc and there were comedies like Happy Gilmore , Tin Cup , Mean Machine, Longest Yard etc and there have also been some insane movies which will leave your mind blank for atleast few hours after you see them like Kicking and screaming , Rebound , Dodgeball etc. The great thing about this is all the movies have the same theme some person or a team which is supposed to be good for nothing and have no scope of making to the top ends up victorious and the wierd thing is 90% of these movies are hits...even the so called insane movies have also done a decent business.
Out of the bunch if i had to pick one , my pick will be 'RUDY' . A great movie , and i felt really bad that i didnot even know this movie till last week . If you have not seen this movie yet do see it!!!
