- DirectorAshutosh GowarikerStarsShah Rukh KhanGayatri JoshiKishori BallalA successful Indian scientist returns to an Indian village to take his nanny to America with him and in the process rediscovers his roots.Ashutosh Gowariker's 2004 drama was often considered 'boring', but the truth is no other film captured serenity of a motherland return the way this film managed to do. Shah Rukh Khan sheds a superstar image and completely looks the part as Mohan Bhargave as he delivers arguably his career-best performance as a long-lost child of a nation struggling to develop its rural areas.
The film explores much more than what it appears to explore on face value, and is much more than just a homecoming drama. The film grips you so well that the trivially-written climax becomes an avoidable glitch.
But after hitting an all-time high with Swades, director Ashustosh has since gone on a downwards career graph, as the fans are waiting for another masterpiece from the director.
AR Rahman's magic helps the film in leaps and bounds. - DirectorKamal HaasanStarsKamal HaasanShah Rukh KhanRani MukerjiSaketh Ram's wife is raped and killed during direct action day riots in Calcutta. He is convinced that Mahatma Gandhi is responsible for all the problems happening in the country and sets out to kill him.The most creative, thought-provoking political drama ever made in India remains to date an under-rated gem. Written and directed by southern genius Kamal Haasan, the film explores a certain Ram's obsession with killing Mahatma Gandhi and his later realization regarding Gandhian values.
Amidst a spew of films that promoted Gandhian values like a PR stint, Hey Ram works big time because the screenplay weaves reality and fiction magnificently, and tells its story from a non-believer's point-of-view.
Shah Rukh Khan evokes empathy in his brief appearance while the film remains a pinnacle of brilliance. - DirectorVishal BhardwajStarsAjay DevgnKareena KapoorSaif Ali KhanA politically-minded enforcer's misguided trust in his lieutenant leads him to suspect his wife of infidelity in this adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Othello'.Ram Gopal Verma was often considered the king of violence, gore and revenge. But no film in this decade portrayed revenge and jealousy in a better way than Vishal Bharadwaj's adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello.
Saif Ali Khan's cold performance is the crippled Langda Tyagi is probably the performance of the decade, and the mood of the film engages the viewer like no other. - DirectorRakeysh Omprakash MehraStarsAamir KhanSoha Ali KhanSiddharthThe story of six young Indians who assist an English woman to film a documentary on the freedom fighters from their past, and the events that lead them to relive the long-forgotten saga of freedom.The movie that awoke a generation- literally. It became the flavor of en entire generation, even for those outside India.
It is a cult film mainly due to the realistic portrayals of contemporary youths in India, and the subsequent relation with the fight for independence. The film also makes no bones and doesn't sugar-coat the prevalent problem of corruption in this country and how it affects people- and how a failing system no more recognizes martyrs.
AR Rahman's brilliant music added, this film scores perfect marks in technical departments.
Paint it saffron. - DirectorAnusha RizviMahmood FarooquiStarsOnkar Das ManikpuriRaghubir YadavShalini VatsaAn impoverished farmer's threat to end his life invites attention from politicians and media.Peepli Live scores for one reason and one reason only- there's NO other movie of this genre in India for the whole of the past ten years. You need to go back to Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron some 27 years ago to find a comparison.
The film is a sattire and a dark comedy, and a good one at that. Contrary from the what the DVD cover might say, the film is not exactly rib-tickling funny, but it rather shows the day-to-day stupidity that consumes the people nowadays.
It unsettles you rather than making you laugh. And that is the film's biggest achievement. Looking forward to more works from Anusha Rizvi. - DirectorRajkumar HiraniStarsAamir KhanMadhavanMona SinghTwo friends are searching for their long lost companion. They revisit their college days and recall the memories of their friend who inspired them to think differently, even as the rest of the world called them "idiots".Again, Aamir Khan and a generation's favorite movie. But 3 Idiots stands out mainly because the film tackles an issue that is not only prevalent to Indian youths, but also in some other Asian countries that emphasize on exams in the education system.
Aamir has been championing 'creativity' and though slightly sugar-coated, the message gets delivered seamlessly in what was the best all-round entertainer in the last decade or so.
No wonder it turned out to be a top-grosser. - DirectorNeeraj PandeyStarsAnupam KherNaseeruddin ShahVeerendra SaxenaA retiring police officer reminisces about the most astounding day of his career. About a case that was never filed but continues to haunt him in his memories - the case of a man and a Wednesday.Being an under-dog worked wonders for this small-budgeted thriller starring Nasserudin Shah and Anupam Kher. A perfectly-written thought-provoking thriller, this film is sure to start a new trend for thrillers, but just like The Sixth Sense, this might only come once.
So cherish it. - DirectorShimit AminStarsShah Rukh KhanVidya MalvadeSagarika GhatgeKabir Khan, the coach of the Indian Women's National Hockey Team, dreams of making his all-girls team emerge victorious against all odds.Another power-packed performance from the King Khan. There have been ocassions where he proved that he is only a commercial king, but an actor of great proportions too, and this film demonstrates that fact.
The notable factor is that the film had hockey scenes which are totally believable, meaning that the team got the finer details right, and thus film comes out as a soulful, yet good-looking end product. - DirectorAnurag KashyapStarsAbhay DeolMahie GillKalki KoechlinAfter breaking up with his childhood sweetheart, a young man finds solace in drugs. Meanwhile, a teenage girl is caught in the world of prostitution. Will they be destroyed, or will they find redemption?Well- what do I say? Anurag Kashyap's boldness hits its highest note in a drama that is disturbing to say the best, which portrays the present-day Indian attitude with such scary accuracy. How would a melancholic Devdas be if he was born in today's world?
Anurag shows us the inconvenient truth with aplomb.
And Abhay Deol looked ever so natural in his role. - DirectorAamir KhanAmole GupteStarsDarsheel SafaryAamir KhanTisca ChopraAn eight-year-old boy is thought to be a lazy trouble-maker, until the new art teacher has the patience and compassion to discover the real problem behind his struggles in school.Again, Aamir Khan and near-perfection. It is not a perfect, but the film is a fresh attempt as it tried to depict the state of the education system and the pressures that a child has to go through. At parts the film is conveniently etched out, but nevertheless highlights an important issue without compromising its entertainment value.
Aamir's products have gotten bolder as of late, and the foundation started somewhere in TZP.
