They earned it!!!-LIST 1

There are more than 2 ways to get lost...I mean one need not be obnoxious to be asked to get lost nor the event be forgettable...one vanishes from memory unintentionally, titles buried under piling information, and simply therez apathy!!
I have periods of paranoia at times.This is not one of those.But this is when i get skeptical about human race and do my part by reclaiming the place of few worthy ones...its more like reassuring myself to optimism!!
And since i am penning this after a 48 hour wake up (of course it took naps of 4 hrs in between..i can't do drugs)....i starting with my first list of worthy titles

OF all the trash bollywood manages to churn out each year, few actually stick their way out of the crap...here's a blog to those contemporary movies
  • Hazaaron Khwaeisein Aisi- Dir:Sudhir Mishra....An awesome film about Love, Ideals,Pragmatism,Power and Bravery (Indeed)...Three characters evolve ,mature and find themselves during the emergency era (That's rite , then on-mythical era which people seldom mention nowadays!!!)
  • Kal-Yesterday and tomorrow - A finely made drama/suspense. The best part are again the people in the film,real,grey and raising up to the task in spite of their vanities.
  • Morning Raaga - This actually can be called a well paced entertainer.Amazing soundtrack and Shabana Azmi are few of the strengths of the film about strangers united in common grief and finding Closure!!
  • Khosla ka Ghosla - This is a real entertainer , novel script, funky filming (same goes for tracks-Chakde pattay for example), and engaging (rangeen) characters!! Addressing the turmoils of the middle class Kher trying to figure out the Khabja of his land...A real good catch this one is
  • Ek Chaalis ki last local-- This is the best dark satire i have seen in quite a while!! Amazingly original story, dark characters with the local flavor (the tamilian cop) and a quite few double crossings makes this a very engaging film!!
This list is no way definitive of the last 4-5 years but definitely the films are!!!

TBC,
