The movie based on the 1993 Bombay blasts as one of the most powerful performances by an ensemble cast. A movie so controversial that the censor board did not allow it to release for three years, a pointed history that still leaves Indians especially Mumbai residents in shock and shock being the movie hit all the right modes. tracing the motive of the blast and social unrest between Hindus and Muslims. This was in your face, ugly and real.
2. Rocket Singh
when repeat composer is cast in a Yash Raj production. It’s a no brainer, right? It’s going to be a super hit while you got it wrong. The problem here is that Ranbir is not romancing three women but is portraying a middle class Sikh boy who is going through the corporate struggle and issues all of us know and feel. movie directed by Shimit Amin focuses on the naive college student who has aspirations and goals which are immediately squandered in the nine to five world from office politics, corruption, personality clashes and the all mighty corporate ladder. The movies very underrated and certainly portrays our daily struggle to change the norm and amazing performance by Ranbir Kapoor and one of the most underrated movies in Bollywood.
1. Dor
Dor is based on a Malayalam film called perumuzak kalam, a movie Written and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor and starring Ayesha Takia and Gul Panag is a feed to women being protagonists in movies, a movie focusing on traditions and costumes set by society, ideological backwardness in Indian families. The fact that women have to stay strong and silently bear all the pain is so painfully yet beautifully depicted in the movie with stunning performances by the cast. This movie is an example to prove that if the script is powerful, the movie does not need star power to be a gem. A movie with so much critically clean, but very average box office numbers. Dor is also definitely a movie that every one should have seen.
