Movies in Fastforward

I have been watching movies on Airtel Digital TV+ after recording on pendrive.
And there is a way to watch the movies and that is through fast forward method.
You can makeX2,X4,X8,X16 and X32 times faster.
It is verily like old VHS tapes/VCR where we could watch video cassettes through fast forward method.
And I have watched two movies through that fashion.
"Revolver Rani" (2014).
This is such a bad movie, only way to watch it was through fast forward.
"Andar bahar"(1984)
I watched this movie through fast forward but did not miss anything in the movie. If anything got nostalgic because they have shown a world in the movie which does not exist anymore. They have shown Bombay in 1984.
I mean why the hell did Hindu brigade like Shiv Sena and BJP need to rename Bombay as Mumbai. Bombay was way nice, way good. Now even if we want things cannot go back to the way they used to be. This Hindu brigade is famous for extinguishing history and making things they want them to be. They are the real destroyers of history, art culture and legacy. They do not care for anyone. They have only their agenda and they work on their agenda alone without caring for anything.
Thus what was Bombay is shown in the movie and now Bombay has changed just too much. Earlier only Fiat and ambassadors and few scooters could be found and now there are many many models of cars on the road. Also the number of cars must have gone up several times over. Also, the streets appear so sparsely populated that it is the stuff of dreams and that was the case a mere 30 years ago.
Also the movie is too good. I mean they don't make that kind of movies in Mumbai anymore. The item numbers are too good. the villains are real villains and the heroes are real heroes not like the villain cum heroes we found today.
Certainly I find present day movies suck big time. Movies like Andar Bahar and other 80's movies were made in certain way that can no way be imitated today and hence it is a legacy that needs to be archived and protected.
