Yeh saali zindagi This is an irfan khan movie. It is somehow like fast english movies where there are many good actors, strong roles and everything gets solved at the end. It has a comic touch, irfan khan's acting is good. Besides him, aditi rao hyderi has done well, she is pretty good at slapping and abusing her husband in the movie.
A Wednesday : Nasruddin shah, anupam kher and a whole bunch of good actors make this movie worth seeing. The story is good. It is based on a terrorist plot where terrorist calls up police asking to free some of his gang members or they will blow up the police station. What comes out eventually is a surprise and show the misery of common indian.
Company : The movie is the story of a mumbai gang leader ajay devgan and his new recruit vivek oberoi. All the characters are well portrayed. The story moves fastly and there are no boring slow moments.
Fashion : Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, the movie focusses on fashion industry and models taking drugs, struggling to be on top. Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut are really fantastic in their roles. It shows the ugly face of glam industry.
Gadar : Gadar has sunny deol, bollywood's favorite action hero. This is a romantic story of a punjabi middle aged guy and teenage muslim girl in riots. The guy is forced to marry girl and they have a kid. But the evil grand dad comes up and tries to tear the family apart.
Life in a metro : Life in a metro as the name says circles around the life of individuals lost in the city. A couple whose marriage is in problem because of extra marital affairs, a girl who's passed the age of marriage and again irfan khan as the guy who makes her understand that you have to put yourself out to get through relations. There is also an old couple who realize at the end that they should have stayed together and not listened to their parents. The old guy played by dharmendra quotes as we are all running after something more special, when we get it we want something even more special. Desires never end, life ends. So be happy at the moment or you will never be happy in your life.
Khamoshi : A perfectly normal singing girl raised by dumb and deaf parents falls in love with a handsome guy and thus problems arise. How she makes her parents understand her love and compassion for them and for the guy is what the movie is all about.
Omkara : Omkara has that rough edgy village effect. It is based on some book I don't remember. It has saif ali khan, ajay devgan and vivek oberoi alonwith kareena kapoor and konkana sen. The movie is brilliant. The story of jealousy, betrayal, love, loyalty all encapsuled into one. It is one of those flicks you treasure in dvds.
Provoked : It is the story of a woman who is facing charges for burning her husband alive. She has two children and from jail she narrates her story. Aishwarya Rai plays the role of the punjabi wife.It gives a peek into the domestic violence and sick people who torture them.
Pyaar ke side effects : This is a funny movie based on a couple with height difference and their engagement, breakup, marriage, child issues taken in a light comic manner. How men pretend sometimes, how women overplay them most of the times. Rahul bose and mallika sherawat play lead roles, supporting actors are known faces.
Pyaar ka Punchnama : Again a funny movie on 3 guys and the girls in their lives, one of them opts for live-in, other guy is being used as stepni in relationship and third guy is in girlfriend dominated genre. Some of the parts are goofy and gay where guys roam around almost naked and ripping each other towels. But dialogues were good. And girls look so real,like some or the other girl we know.
No one killed jessica : This is a movie based on true story where a high class bartender was shot dead in a party full of high profile people but judgement was denied for many years. The witnesses are bought over and the family is threatened to stop the case as the murderer comes from a political party. Then media steps in and changes the whole scenario.
Rajneeti : Movie on political families who decide to fight against each other and the whole story gets bloody violent. A lot of people are tricked and lose life, lovers, kids. The sad part is it actually happens in india. Whole movie is shot in bhopal, which is my hometown too.
Swades : When Shahrukh khan had nice scripts, this was one of them. He plays an indian working outside india, he comes to india in search of his childhood nanny, she lives in a village with no electricity and various other problems. It is upto him if he stays or leaves alone.
Rocket singh : The major reason for this movie to be in list is Ranbir kapoor and gauhar khan. They are fab in this flick. It is about a guy who is below average and works as salesman in a company. Then he comes up with some idea and starts working on his own idea while working for the same boss.
Rockstar : Ranbir kapoor as rockstar simply is awesome and so handsome to just look at. But he is probably the best actor right now and with this right script, the movie just blows mind. Although sometimes the desperation for love or lust doesn't make sense to me. Nargis Fakhri's character is so confused, probably like a girl would be. Anyways movie is worth seeing.
Sarfarosh : This is an old aamir khan movie. It is on how people in border areas are affected by terrorism and how people inside country are influenced and misled to follow the criminals. On the side track is a cute romantic story emanating from college. Aamir khan plays the cop and sets out on the mission to find backstabbers of country.
Legend of bhagat singh : An ajay devgan movie again. He plays bhagat singh, the famous patriot revolutionary who fought against britishers through various violent plans. At the end of the movie, he and his friends die in the name of the country. After this movie, you will probably hate gandhi.
Shakti the power : Sanjay and karishma are a couple living faraway from their roots. Sanjay kapoor gets the call and goes back to his people alongwith wife and kid. But what he was getting away from catches up and he is killed by his father's enemies. Now karishma is jailed and her kid is taken. How she escapes with the help of shahrukh is the movie. The rural india they show is actually true portrayal of some of the parts of UP and Bihar states.
Taare zameen par : Movie by aamir khan has a dyslexic kid and shows how much pressure we put on kids to fare well in exams. Parenting is not for everyone and just because you gave birth doesn't imply you deserved it. Parents have to understand kids and not force things on them.
Wake up sid : This movie is again a ranbir kapoor movie. There is this irresponsible guy who fails in exam and has no ambition in life then he meets the girl who is from kolkata with hopes of becoming editor. His father throws him out of the house, eventually he gets focussed in life on photography and starts dating the girl.
