- DirectorKaran JoharStarsShah Rukh KhanKajolSheetal MenonAn Indian Muslim man with Asperger's syndrome takes a challenge to speak to the President of the United States seriously and embarks on a cross-country journey.Many racists would do well to watch this... It is one of bollywoods most successful movies for a reason. It is one for the guys too as it is no chick flick (despite having the famous on screen couple that is Kajol and Srk.)
It follows the character Rizwan khan - an autistic Muslim, and his struggle and epic adventure pre and post 9/11. His Name is Khan, and he is NOT a terrorist. - DirectorAditya ChopraStarsShah Rukh KhanAnushka SharmaVinay PathakA breathtaking, goose flesh igniting, awe inspiring love journey of an ordinary man Suri and his 'total opposite' love Taani.Ok, How many times have i watched this now? I simply can't remember. This Movie is witchcraft in the way is successfully plays with every emotion. It could be the 100ths time i would see this, and there would still be laughter annoying the neighbors, and tears, enough to create a flood. I love EVERY song within the soundtrack too. :)
- DirectorNikkhil AdvaniStarsPreity G ZintaShah Rukh KhanSaif Ali KhanNaina, an introverted, perpetually depressed girl's life changes when she meets Aman. But Aman has a secret of his own which changes their lives forever. Embroiled in all this is Rohit, Naina's best friend who conceals his love for her.Such a sad film, yet i can't stop watching it. I can't get enough of the song "Maahi ve" either( my i tunes tells me that i have played it 101 times) :). In my opinion, it is one of Srk's strongest roles.
- DirectorTarun MansukhaniPunit MalhotraStarsAbhishek BachchanJohn AbrahamPriyanka Chopra JonasTwo straight guys pretend to be gay in order to secure a Miami apartment. When both of them fall for their roommate Neha, hilarity ensues as they strive to convince one and all that they're gay whilst secretly trying to win her heart.This is a laugh a minute movie with an amazing sound track. It is a nice relief from some of the normally emotional bollywood films. Its also nice to see that Indian traditions are being tested here with the theme of a gay couple.
- DirectorFarah KhanStarsShah Rukh KhanDeepika PadukoneArjun RampalIn the 1970s, Om, an aspiring actor, is murdered, but is immediately reincarnated into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise and find Shanti, the love of his previous life.A very clever story line, with a flawless soundtrack ( i love every song).
It will have you laughing crying and outright shouting at the "b******* that wrong the main characters. Suitable for men and women. ( And my little 9 year old sister who is also into bollywood.) - DirectorYash ChopraStarsShah Rukh KhanPreity G ZintaRani Mukerji"Veer-Zaara" is a saga of love, separation, courage, and sacrifice. A love story that is an inspiration and will remain a legend forever.I have watched this with my little sister ( so a lot of flicking the screen towards the bad guys was involved). The story is of a great injustice that occurs which gets in the way of love. It makes you just want to pick Srk up, and nurse him back to a good well being.
- DirectorKabir KhanStarsJohn AbrahamKatrina KaifNeil Nitin MukeshA contemporary story of 3 friends discovering a new world set against the larger than life New York City. But one day the world around them changed.This movie will really get you thinking DEEP. It is about the effects of being wrongly imprisoned for being a suspected terrorist. starring John Abraham.
- DirectorKaran JoharStarsShah Rukh KhanRani MukerjiAmitabh BachchanDev, a former football player is married to Rhea, a successful fashion editor. Maya is a kindergarten teacher who is married to Rishi, an outgoing event planner. These couples' lives intersect and they each question their own marriage.Long movie! ( 4 hours) But worth it. It portrays a realistic scenario i.e. "What if you fall in love out of marriage?" With an all star cast. Good sountrack too.
- DirectorA.R. MurugadossStarsAamir KhanAsin ThottumkalJiah KhanA short-term memory loss patient goes on a killing spree in order to avenge the death of his ladylove.
- DirectorKaran JoharStarsShah Rukh KhanKajolRani MukerjiDuring their college years, Anjali was in love with her best-friend Rahul, but he had eyes only for Tina. Years later, Rahul and the now-deceased Tina's eight-year-old daughter attempts to reunite her father and Anjali.You can never go wrong with a classic - where everyone wheres polyester sports wear and more importantly the story line. A relate-able love triangle that is seen to be helped out by Srks characters daughter.
- 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".This is one of the highest grossing bollywood films as it is great comic relief. And it is lovely to see a different mix of the famous stars. You will not get bored of following these three on their journey. ( Nor will you any longer be looked at weird is you start singing gobaldy goop... "Zoobi doobi".)
- DirectorKunal KohliStarsAamir KhanKajolRishi KapoorA sweet blind girl Zooni meets a flirty Rehan. She ignores her friends' warnings. It's her time to discover life. Is she making the right love choice?
- DirectorRaj KapoorStarsNargisRaj KapoorNadiraWhen a young man from a small town decides to make it big in a city, he faces several challenges.Though I would watch this film as there was a lot of reference to it in other films. And i loved it :) I even liked the songs, which is unusual for me as I tend not to like older songs.
- DirectorRamesh SippyStarsSanjeev KumarDharmendraAmitabh BachchanAfter his family is murdered by a notorious and ruthless bandit, a former police officer enlists the services of two outlaws to capture the bandit.
- DirectorRavi ChopraStarsAmitabh BachchanSalman KhanHema MaliniWhen his only son dies in an accident, Balraaj urges his depressed daughter-in-law to marry a man who has long loved her in silence.Throughout this I was questioning how the love of the characters can be replaced; yet they did not disappoint me as they did it in a respectable way. I believe that it is one of amitabh bachchan's strongest roles. Week soundtrack though.
- DirectorSantosh SivanStarsShah Rukh KhanKareena KapoorDanny DenzongpaThe epic tale of King Asoka's life is recounted.The very first Bollywood movie that I had ever seen about a year back. It is educational, it has very good cinematography, and a good star cast. Is one for both men and women as it has the war and gore, but also the romance.
No matter how much you want to hate the character Asoka, you can't because the film portrays him in a way that you can understand why he created so much blood shed. - DirectorRam Gopal VarmaStarsAmitabh BachchanJiah KhanRevathiA man, who has been married for 27 years, falls in love with his 18-year-old daughter's friend.Such an odd scenario that kept me in awe of the story line. A 60 year old and an 18 year old that fall in love. Sobering thought for me as i am 18. One of Amitabhs strongest roles i think. No music to it as it would be inappropriate them to include it.
- DirectorPradeep SarkarStarsVidya BalanSaif Ali KhanSanjay DuttThe lifelong romance between Lolita (Balan) and Shekar (Khan) is upset by the arrival of another man.
- DirectorPriyadarshanStarsAkshay KumarVidya BalanShiney AhujaAn NRI and his wife decide to stay in his ancestral home, paying no heed to the warnings about ghosts. Soon, inexplicable occurrences cause him to call a psychiatrist to help solve the mystery.I initially watched this because i was running out of choices on love film. I was not expecting much from it, but it turned out to be a very well plotted film. I also really like the song towards the end "I am yours..."
- DirectorImtiaz AliStarsShahid KapoorKareena KapoorTarun AroraA depressed wealthy businessman finds his life changing after he meets a spunky and care-free young woman.
- DirectorNikkhil AdvaniStarsSalman KhanPriyanka Chopra JonasAnil KapoorSix couples in love must face different problems caused by love itself. Do they resolve their issues and face life anew, or do they succumb under pressure ?Bollywood remake of the English film love actually. I was a bit worried at first to see if this film had done justice to such a successful film - but i was not disappointed. My fav couple was between the taxi driver (govinda) and the English girl who, together could speak very little of each others languages. Love the title song. Sad to hear that it was a flop - though my theory is that it cost too much to pay all the a lister actors that were cast in in - therefore the box office could not satisfy the profit needed.
- DirectorMani RatnamStarsMithun ChakrabortyAbhishek BachchanAishwarya Rai BachchanA villager, Gurukant Desai, arrives in Bombay 1958, and rises from its streets to become the GURU, the biggest tycoon in Indian history.These stars seem to make a good pairing, yet it has you weeping as money seems to get in the way of their life.
