1 1. PK
Undoubtedly best movie that
Bollywood produced this year is PK. This has the same director-actor duo
which gave us 3IDIOTS.So naturally expectations were high on this movie. Raj
Kumar Hirani is a well known director who is famous to make entertaining movies
with a sense of purpose to it. If Raj PK
has been compared to films like OMG-Oh My God but it has a completely different
plot. The film is seen through the eyes of an alien who is in search of God.
The alien questions the blind faith of the Earth residents in God. Anushka
Sharma ,Sushant singh Rajput gave their best in this movie. Music in PK is just
like an icing on the cake.PK is GEM of a movie. This one will obviously top our
listKumar Hirani and Aamir Khan collaborate for a film, the result is bound to be exceptional.
2.HAIDER
Vishal Bhardwaj’s brand of cinema is the most unique one which
is completely different from other Bollywood directors. Hider is
Bhardwaj’s adaptation of william shakespear’s
HAMLET. His other two films were Maqbool(2003),
which adapted Macbeth, and Omkara (2006), a hinterland take
on Othello.
Vishal Bhardwaj is a genius who can adapt the plot from
shakespear’s plays and make movies which suit Indian audience. This is story of
guy(haider) who returns to Srinagar in search of his missing father. He finds
that his father is dead and his uncle has a role in it. Adding to his pain his
uncle has an affair with his mother. Story is all about how haider takes
revenge on his uncle. Shahid kapoor plays the lead role .he does an excellent
job in portraying such a difficult character. Tabu plays the character of
haider’s mother which has many shades in it .she mesmerizes us with her
performance. Irfan khan in the special appearance adds that extra spark to the
movie. Music composed by vishal bhardwaj is soulful .excellent direction,
screenplay, plot, solid performances make it a must watch movie for the movie
lovers.
At the 9th ROME FILM FESTIVAL, Haider was
awarded the People's Choice Award in the Monod Genre category, making it the
first Indian film to achieve this feat3. QUEEN
4. HIGHWAY
This movie came in at a time when Bollywood audience got bored with hero
centric movies with routine action, comedy, romance. This movie has a
completely different story line which may not impress the masses. Directed by
Imtiaz Ali who famous for his romantic comedy’s (Rom-Com) .with Alia Bhatt and
Randeep Hooda in the leading roles this movie is all about a rich girl who has
no freedom in her home ,gets kidnapped by group of criminals. She finds peace
and solace with them. she starts liking the kidnapper(Stockholm syndrome). It
is In this captivity that she, for the first time, feels
Free. But they are not made for each other. She does not want to
return to where she came from. She
does not want to reach where he is taking her. She wishes this journey to never end.
does not want to reach where he is taking her. She wishes this journey to never end.
This movie deserved a better treatment from the director. Though the movie received critical acclaim for its
unique concept. Alia did a fabulous job in this movie which was unexpected. ‘MAAHI
VE’ and “PATTAKHA GUDI” were popular songs from this movie. This movie has a
great background score composed by Oscar winning director A.R.Rahman. Although
a number of films have been filmed at the panoramic locales of North India, the
visual impact that HIGHWAY creates is mesmeric. From the rough terrain to the
snow-clad mountains, every frame is a visual treat, no two opinions on that.
This movie deserves to be in our top 9 list for its wonderful music, acting,
plot, and the way they showed us the picturesque valleys of Kashmir.
It’s always an interesting story to tell
when two people from different traditional backgrounds fall in love with each
other. Inspired from Chetan Bhagat’s 2
states , directed by Abhishek
Verman with Alia and Arjun Kapoor
in the lead roles this movie is a complete
family entertainer. Krish played by
Arjun falls in love with beautiful Ananya , played by Alia. He is a Punjabi
munda on the other hand she is a tamil Brahmin girl. Story revolves all around how they both convince their parents for their marriage.
This movie successfully portrays the
beautiful bond between mother and son. With clean direction and screen play,
good looking couple on screen and soulful music this movie went well with the
audience. This character of ananya was an easy task for potential actress like
alia and arjun convinces us with his performance. Overall a good movie to find a place in our top 9.
Directed by Mohit Suri with
Sharddha Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra and Ritesh Deshmukh in the leading roles
it’s a romantic thriller which is not new to bollywood. But a high octane
performance which director was able to extract from his actors was worth
applauding. Especially the way Ritesh Deshmukh played the villain’s character
took everyone by surprise. Indeed he is the secret ingredient in the movie
which made it watchable. Shraddha and siddarth did justice to their roles.
Story is about a couple in which girl gets killed by a serial killer and the
guy sets out his journey to find and kill the murderer. Music composed Mithoon
and Ankit Tiwari was just awesome. They gave the best romantic album to
bollywood music lovers through this movie. Chemistry between sid and sharddha
is a high point in this movie. They both have a luminous presence on the screen
and we just can’t take eyes of this beautiful pair onscreen. All these plus
points dominated the minuses and it gives a good cinematic experience. Thus it
has to be on our top 9 list.
7. MARYKOM
This movie is a biopic on the MC
Marykom, an Indian boxer. She is a five time world Amateur boxing champion.
Directed by Omung Kumar, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali with piggy chops( priyanaka chopra) in the leading
role, this is a must watch movie for audiences irrespective of age. This is an inspirational movie well
written, directed with national award winning actress giving her best. Priyanka
chopra managed to convince the audience as a boxer keeping aside her sexy
avatar for which she is known for. She really worked hard to get under the skin
of the character, be it well built body as a boxer, the way she expressed the
emotions of mother and true fighter who
doesn’t like losing. Some scenes in the movie are inspirational. Instead of
making it as a pinpointed sports movie about a world champion director decides
to make it as an out and out Bollywood melodrama which was disappointing.
“Ziddi dil” song was good with other melodious numbers sung my Arjith Singh
were impressive. For the first time a biopic was made on the life of a true boxing
legend. This movie was a commercial success.
This movie is an example that
inspirational movies can do good business if it is treated well. For its
script, music, and priyanka chopra, this movie deserves thumbs up.
As movie name suggests this is a beautiful movie
to watch onscreen. Directed by Shashank Gosh (Quick Gun Murugan fame) with
beautiful Sonam Kapoor in the lead role this is a romantic comedy entertainer
with good humor in it. Story is about a middleclass physiotherapist who is given
an assignment to treat Rajput King suffering with paralyzed legs. The family of
king is completely opposite to her. They love leading an ordered, well
disciplined life unlike her who is a free, easy going girl. She meets the royal prince played by Fawad
khan. She falls in love. Story is about how she brings change in the depressed
royal family and adds happiness to their life. Sonam brings lots of energy to
the character. It’s a treat to watch her playing this character onscreen. Kiron
kher as mother of sonam and a Punjabi housewife adds a lot to the movie. Good
music, support cast, clean screenplay and direction make it a good movie to
watch. Interesting fact is that this is Disney’s first dream presentation in
bollywood. If you want to get refreshed this movie is just perfect for that. In
short it’s a “pisa wasool entertainer”. So it’s an easy pick to be in our top 9
list9.HOLIDAY
Akshay kumar is
the only actor in B-town who can make us laugh and cry in the same movie. With Akshay
kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead role directed by Murgudoss this movie is
about a dedicated Indian military officer who foregoes his vacation to hunt
down terrorist and sleeper cells under his command. This movie was first made
in Tamil by the same director and was a blockbuster. Adapting the same plot
without many changes holiday was made.
Akshay carried the entire movie
on his shoulders. His stunts in the
movie were jaw- dropping. He couldn’t get much of support from the co stars as
their characters were not well written. Sonakshi has been paid only for some
dance numbers, and comedy. She didn’t have much of a role to play. This movie
effortlessly shows various hardships experienced by Army men and their
families. This movie is a genuine tribute to “INDIAN JAWANS AND THEIR
FAMILIES”. Music by Pritam Chakraborty was decent. This movie collected over
100 crores at the box office.
Holiday is an
out and out action entertainer which Bollywood movie buffs would love to watch.
For its script, action sequences and for akhay kumar this movie deserves to be
on our list.
Unfortunately
many big movies like Jai Ho, Bhoot Nath Returns, Humshakals, kick, Happy New
Year, Bang Bang couldn’t impress the audiences. Let’s hope 2015 will be a
successful year for Bollywood with many good movies, raising the standards of
Bollywood J.
