It is often said that Hindi movie are enjoyed the best when you leave your brain behind. And when it comes to Dara Singh movies, it helps even more if one did not have a brain to begin with. 😀 Dara Singh movies are good brainless entertainment,and they are grade Z gems, as someone lovingly puts it in youtube.
