Bollywood makes
more than 100 movies in a year, many belonging to big production houses, some
with popular stars, some with great music, hype, publicity etc etc etc….
But not all
movies get same kind of attention, some time due to lack of big stars, some time
due to lack of publicity and some times just because the timing is not right,
which causes some good or even fantastic movie to go unnoticed, so today I
would like to list a few movies that I like a lot but may not be very popular,
but I believe if these movies were given the right platform they could have
landed in the category of hit movies when released.
Sehar: Arshad Warsi is
known to be funny; he is part of many comedy franchise movies like Golmal,
Dhamaal, Munnabhai. It may be hard for people to believe that he can act in a
serious role, but he did exactly that in Sehar (2005). A realistic thriller
with UP’s Mafia-Political collaboration as the back drop. Watch this for Arshad
Warsi’s subtle performance and for Pankaj Kapoor of course. (Genre: Drama,
Politics, Crime)
3 Deewarein: When I
first heard about the plot of this movie, I was horrified as it was story of
three prisoners who have been awarded capital punishment in a jail, waiting to
be hanged and how they interact with a journalist. I thought it was a
documentary wrongly classified as a commercial movie, however I watched the
movie due to the director i.e. Nagesh Kucknoor, and I was so wrong, this was a
beautiful movie with virtually no melodrama and a great story with an amazing
climax. (Genre: Drama, Crime)
Via Darjeeling: A few friends
are sitting in a house in Kolkata, sipping tea and coffee, just a casual get
together; however the things become interesting as soon as one of the friends
who is a Police Inspector starts telling them about an unsolved case where a
man disappeared from Darjeeling, and the Police could not find any trace of
him, and suddenly all the people in the room starts throwing their own theory
of what actually could have happened. (Genre: Suspense, Crime)
7 ½ Phere: It is one movie
where Irrfan Khan starred opposite Juhi Chawla, interesting combination by all means.
Story is about Juhi who wants to make a TV show about a real Indian wedding
while actually shooting the program during the marriage ceremony, the problem
is that no one is allowing her to do so in their home, how ever our hero Irffan
falls pray to Juhi’s charm and allows her to shoot the marriage ceremony in his
house secretly by installing cameras in different rooms of the house. And chaos
begins… (Genre: Comedy, Romance)
The above mentioned movies although not
very popular may still make a good watch rather than some highly hyped but
content less movies which are popular these days. So take some risk and make a pick.
