Some of my favourites!

Here are some of the additions to the list below from my side. These are those films which personally I am crazy about...(not to mention, all seen on numerous occasions). These films are not listed in any particular order as such.

1.> Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar - Starring Aamir Khan,Ayesha Jhulka
This movie is one of my all-time favourites. The perfect school love story combined with a competition in it. One of the most honest performances by Aamir and excellent music by Jatin-Lalit makes this movie amongst the best! The school atmosphere is perfectly created and the innocent love story makes it a winner!


2.> Coolie No. 1 - Starring Govinda,Karisma,Kader Khan
This is one of the craziest and funniest movies I have seen. After watching it umpteen no. of times, i still wanna see it again. The Govinda-Kader Khan combo is at its best in this one. An excellent stress-buster, this one is to be watched with your brains at home!

3.>Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam - Starring Aishwarya Rai, Ajay Devgan, Salman Khan
This movie although may get a bit boring in some parts, is an excellent one overall. Ash has never looked so divine ever. Ajay Devgan for me is a revelation in HDDCS, his eyes do all the talking in this one, one of his best performances to date......I simply love the way his character has been portrayed. Salman too is tolerable for a change.

4.>Black - Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukherji
This one actually stunned me.....I just wasn't ready for such a film to come in Bollywood. You just have to see it to believe it.Amitabh has given the performance of a lifetime......no one can even imagine to come even close to his performance in this movie. Here, he showcases all the emotions of joy, sorrow and anger to perfection. Perfectly matched by the awesome rani, This one's a winner all the way!


5.>Golmaal - Starring Amol Palekar, Utpal Dutt
One of the all-time great comedies of Indian Cinema, Golmaal needs no introduction. A wacky Utpal Dutt gets under the skin of the character &delivers a memorable performance. Amol Palekar is at his comic best. Not to be missed this one!..Also The song "Golmaal hai bhai sab Golmaal hai" lingers in one's memory whenever u think about the movie!

6.> Sholay - Starring Amitabh,Dharmendra,Sanjeev kumar,Amjad Khan,Hema Malini, Jaya bhaduri
No list can be complete without the mention of Sholay. All the characters of this film have attained legendary status...be it Jai, Veeru,Thakur,Basanti, Mausiji or for that matter even Dhanno. Amjad Khan as Gabbar redefines the role of a villain with a performance of a lifetime....That laugh of his is still inimitable! All in all a true classic is what Sholay is!


7.>Chupke Chupke - Starring Amitabh,Dharmendra,Sharmila, Jaya,Omprakash
I have always been a fan of Hrishikesh Mukherji's films. His movies are so simple, yet entertaining and also manage to strike a chord with one's heartbeat. Chupke-Chupke symbolises all of the above. Omprakash as the 'Genius Jijaji' is harassed all the way by the naughty biology professor-turned driver Dharmendra. Their antics are amusing to say the least and combined with Amitabh the movie makes you laugh all the way!......."G-o gooo kyun nahi hota"?

8.>Anand -Starring Rajesh Khanna,Amitabh
This is one of the most endearing stories told in Indian Cinema. Excellent performances from both the lead actors and a heart-wrenching story are the pillars of this classic. The dying, yet so cheerful Anand played by Khanna, teaches a lesson in life to everyone around....Life life to the fullest!....The climax scene is simply captivating with Anand's recorded voice lingering away even as he lies dead on the bed!

9.>Jhankaar Beats- Starring Sanjay Suri, Juhi Chawla, Rahul Bose ,Shayan Munshi
This one may be a surprise addition to many, but i feel this movie broke new ground in Bollywood. The ease of dialogue delivery, the realistic portrayal of characters and the awesome music make this unconventional story of a wannabe band of boys a must watch!...Also Shayan Munshi's character somewhat reminds me of myself!

10,>Swades - Starring Shahrukh Khan,Gayatri Joshi
To finish off this list, Swades was a perfect choice. Not only coz I am a SRK loyalist, but also the fact that he proved to everyone that he could think outside the box and come up with a restrained, yet mind blowing performance. Mohan Bhargav was played with utmost sincerity and one could see that in the movie. Gayatri Joshi too was commendable in her debut film.


So, here is a small list of movies which i like and can watch any no. of times. There are many more which could make the list, but somethings should beleft for later!
