Today I want to talk briefly about movies which after months, years and sometimes decades of hard work by famous Bollywood stars got completed but for some innate reason never got released. There isn’t much information about the plots of these movies or the exact reason for their fates but they have never seen the light of day or got the appreciation of their fans. Several movies get stalled or shelved every year due to financial concerns, ego clashes and unforeseen reasons but how can a completed movie starring Amitabh Bachchan or Dilip Kumar or Feroz Khan or Raj Kumar or Kishore Kumar or Shashi Kapoor or Rishi Kapoor sit in a box eating dust and rot away. That is truly mind boggling. Here are a few of Bollywood's unfortunate lost movies.
Shoebite is a movie starring Amitabh Bachchan, Sarika, Dia Mirza and Jimmy Shergill, directed by none other than Shoojit Sircar. The movie was loosely based on a story by M. Night Shyamalan about an old man on a journey of self discovery. The movie was completed by Shoojit after his debut feature “Yahaan” but got stuck in a legal battle due to story copyright issues and as a result it hasn’t been released yet. Big B himself tweeted "PLEASE .. PLEASE ... PLEASE .. UTV and Disney , or whoever else has it .. Warners , whoever .. JUST RELEASE THIS FILM .. !! lot of hard labour been put in ..? don't KILL creativity !!”. Shoojit Sircar has a 7 year gap in his filmography between his debut masterpiece “Yahaan” and next release “Vicky Donor” because of “Shoebite". Sircar and Big B’s collaboration Gulabo Sitabo’s successful OTT streaming release revived some hope that the legal dispute might get resolved in the near future and the movie may finally get released on prime. The wait continues….
Libaas is a 1988 movie by Gulzar starring Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and Raj Babbar which got completed and submitted to the censor board……and never re-emerged. Based on Gulzar's short story about a wife of a workaholic theater artist who falls in love with his friend and leaves her marriage only to realize that there is still love in her heart for her ex husband. The treatment of the adulterous theme was a bit too much for the censor board who had approved movies like Arth earlier that decade. R.D. Burman’s soundtrack with 4 melodic Lata Mangeshkar voiced ballads are available on spotify to listen and imagine what the common man of India may have missed. The movie was screened twice in International film festivals and was plann
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
You take away their little brooms

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
But nobody ever mentions his sister, Onya, who invented the starter pistol.
