Indian Film Festival 2010 - Bollywood and Beyond


I was pretty excited to know that the 'Indian Film Festival' is coming this year. It is not only showcasing bollywood movies but a few award winning regional movies as well. I' m looking forward to watch "Harishchandra Factory" a famous regional movie.

I think the idea of film festival is a good way to watch films that I missed specially the one's I enjoy watching on the big screen. It is a nice way to meet and greet a few celebrities.

I have short listed my favourite Top 10 bollywood films at this festival

My first pick is 'Dev D', a fantastic movie which is modern take of a classical novel. Love the songs, locations and the performances

Second pick would be '3 Idiots' , reminds my uni life back in India. A great comedy with few subtle messages and my personal favourite "...chase Excellence and Success will follow"

Third would be 'Wake Up sid', a fresh new age romantic comedy.

Fourth, is 'Love Aaj Kal' (Love these Days), a well made light hearted romantic flick comparing romance between old fashioned VS the new Gen Y

My fifth best film is 'Paa', a family entertainer with amazing performances especially the superstar star "Amitabh Bachchan"

My Sixth pick is 'Black', inspired by an autobiography. A well made film with great performances by Rani Mukerji and Amitabh Bachchan

Kaminey (Scoundrels) my top seventh movie. Striking performances, great cinematography, impressive editing and electrifying music

Saathiya (Partner), an unusual love story with beautiful sound tracks

Ninth will be 'Ghajini', an action thriller inspired from the hollywood movie Memento.

The tenth one is Dostana (Friendship), one of funniest movies in the recent times. Sure to have a great laugh


I would recommend most of you to watch these and Im sure you wouldn't regret it
