Dil To Pagal Hai (1997)

 



The movie Dil To Pagal Hai is directed by the amazing producer Yash Chopra, who is known for his romantic comedies such as this one and many others like DDLJ, Fanaa and Veer-Zaraa. He has never let his audience down since his movies are filled with different story lines and various genres like romance, comedy, drama and can be watched by the whole family. This movie is about Rahul (Sharukh) who directs his own music and dance production who also dances in his own production as well, On the other side, his best friend Nisha, is one of the dancers in his production and she secretly has a crush on him but Rahul isn't aware of this. Later on, Rahul hires a new dancer in replacement of one his best dances and he hires Pooja (Madhuri). In the process of working along one another, they become attracted to each other but neither of them become aware of this and there is another character twist which you can find out by watching the rest of the movie. 

The music and choreography are two of the major things to look out for in this movie, the choreography is done amazingly for the songs and in the dance production. The songs in the movie will make you want to get up and dance especially the second song posted above. This movie teaches a big lesson on love and friendship, how there is a border line for both. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend you take out a few hours and watch this movie. It will change your view on love altogether and on love stories as well. A movie directed by Yash Chopra is never to be missed, you will be in for a big surprise from beginning to end!

PK (2014)

  

                 



This movie was directed by the amazing direcor Rajkumar Hirani who also made the movie 3 Idiots and has never let his audience down. Overall, this movie is about how this stranger who gets the name PK by the people in the city and he asks questions which no one has asked before. Also the questions he asks are child-like but but they bring about major catastrophic answers since they are based on big philosophies which most people believe in. Most people he asks these questions to have to look into their world and see it from PK's eyes. On this journey, he encounters the other side of God and religion on Earth. The major lesson to be learned by this stranger or alien as you will see in the movie, is how God is forgotten and how people are manipulated by the so-called religious leaders, which he calls Managers.

The rating I would give this movie is an 9/10 since the overall message is shown very well once again by Rajkumar after the movie 3 Idiots which was also a big hit as well. The people who loved a movie like 3 Idiots, will also fall in love with this movie because of the amazing story line, brilliant acting by Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma and of course the directing done by Rajkumar. Also, the music in this movie is composed very well too and goes along amazingly with the message of religion shown throughout the movie. The ending is something to look forward to, since I personally love movies which have an amazing and mind blowing ending. But of course I can't give away the ending, you will have to watch and find out.

Hum Apke Hain Koun (1994)


This movie has Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit as the main characters, it revolves 
around these two main characters finding out what their relationship is towards one another hence the title of this movie. The movie starts with Prem's (Salman) brother who is a very eligible bachelor and his family wants him to marry Pooja Choudhrey, which he agrees to. At the wedding events, Prem meets Pooja's sister, Nisha and from that point on they keep contact after the wedding. After meeting few times, this is where both Prem and Nisha decide to wonder- what is my relationship with you? This question goes through both of their minds and it may form a new relationship but to find out you have to watch the movie! There are some dramatic twists in this movie which lead to their new relationship. 

This specific movie is very comedic, romantic, and filled with little bit of drama as well to make it more interesting. The characters in this movie played their roles very well especially, Salman, Madhuri, Anupam Kher, Alok Nath and many more. The music in this movie isn't like the songs in hindi movies today but in the era it was made in fits very well into it. The songs are very catchy, entertaining and sweet. One of the tracks which will always remain catchy and entertaining years from now is 'Didi tera Devar Deewana' which is one of the tracks given above. This is also a family type of movie since it follows two loving families which go from family friends to turning that into a family relation. 


I would give this movie an 8.5/10 since it's a movie which can always be watched till this day and the story line of this movie is one of a kind. I would recommend this movie to all bollywood movie lovers especially those who love the classics and love these family drama or romantic comedy type movies which will never get old. I would've given this movie a 10/10 but I believe that some scenes could have been better and some of the dialogue could have been improved as well. Overall, this movie was amazing, classical, amazing actors/actresses and entertaining music as well. It's a movie not to be missed, never too late to watch the classics!

Mardaani (2014)


Mardaani is a movie based around a cop, played by Rani Mukherjee who is in search
of a missing teenage girl and this leads her into the world of sex trafficking. This senior
inspector played by Rani, takes on a case which changes her life, this is case is very dear 
to her because she finds out a girl named Pyari is missing who is very dear to her. She finds
out that Pyari has been kidnapped by a trafficking mafia and smuggled out of the city. The rest of the movie is a cat and mouse game between cop, Rani and the mafia kingpin. The main genres in this film include: drama, thriller and action as well. This movie is a must watch for non- bollywood movie lovers as well since its not one of those typical bollywood movies we watch because it takes on a real life story and teaches both men and women a lesson on child trafficking and how this issue needs to be solved in India and other countries too.

Since this movie takes on a while different issue and the role played by Rani is done magnificently and courageously by her, I would give this movie a rating of 8/10. I would give it an 8/10 because it shows a real issue which is affecting women and teenage girls in India but not many people are aware of this issue and its a movie you cannot take your eyes off of since its full of surprises and no scene can be missed. Also, this movie is very much realistic, powerful, and an intense crime-drama type of movie.

Dil Dhadkne Do (2015)




This movie is about two siblings which plan a cruise for their parents 30th wedding
anniversary and on this cruise the brother and sister both deal with the impact of
their family's influence and considerations on their romantic lives. The
movie has a star filled cast with actors such as: Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Farhan
Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma and many more. In this movie there is
both comedy, drama, romance and some crazy emotional family scenes as well. Some
may say this movie is a bit too long or the cast is too big but that's what makes the
movie more entertaining in my opinion. The bollywood movie lovers would love
this movie if they have an optimistic and open mind while watching it because
the movie does start out a bit slow but gets better while the plot opens up.

I would give this movie a 8.5/10 since there was never a dull moment in this movie
after the slow start in the beginning. Also because this movie is one of those funny but
complicated romantic and family type movie. I would recommend this movie for the
whole family since its one of those movies which everyone can watch and there
are some lessons to be learned for the modern parents of today. Once again the reviews
may say something else but I would say watch the movie once and maybe it will change
your mind. It was an amazing comedy, drama and a bit of romance as well.
Also the songs were amazing, fun to dance to, party type songs and catchy as well.

My Name Is Khan (2010)



This movie once is directed by the amazing Karan Johar who brings out the perfect

jodi of Sharukh Khan & Kajol, these two always bring a sizzling and amazing 
performance on screen. The movie follows the main character, played by
 Sharukh Khan, as someone who is suffering from asperger's syndrome (autism) 
and he sets out on a journey to meet the president of U.S. to clarify one
 thing about his religion. Along his journey around the states he meets a 
single mother, played by Kajol and this is where their  friendship starts, which 
may turn out to be more...maybe. This movie shows the effects
of 9/11 and the aftermath for different racial groups.

The movie is full of many different emotions, one moment there is happiness and few

minutes later there is some sad or emotional moments happening. While watching
this movie you will start to realize what the Muslims had to go through after the
9/11 attack. I would give this movie a 9/10, mainly for a few reasons which include
the amazing chemistry between Kajol & Sharukh Khan, emotional story line and 
the climax is something to look forward to. I would recommend this movie to any SRK 
fans and anyone who watches movies directed by Karan Johar, because as everyone
knows he will never let you down, all his movies are stunning, emotional, best story-
lines and never a dull moment in his movies.

Salaam Namaste (2005)





The movie "Salaam Namaste" is about how two individuals go away from their families to make a living on their own and end  up living together as well. The two main characters are: Saif Ali Khan & Preity Zinta and these two individuals have very different lifestyles. They try to live together without being married and this is a controversial issue in today's modern day society. The movie is a fun romantic comedy and has some emotional scenes as well towards the end. The chemistry between Saif and Preity is beyond amazing in this movie and they show how true love should be something we chase and never let
go of. 

This movie is full of bollywood entertainment with the amazing songs and romantic 
scenes between the main couple. There isn't any dull moment in this movie and is full of comedy especially between the few main characters. The songs in this movie are very well sung, my favourite song would have to be 'my dil goes mhmmm' since it has the best video to it and its sung by amazing and soulful artists. I would recommend this movie to all bollywood movie lovers and people who love this jodi of Saif and Preity, who as we know have amazing chemistry in every movie they have done such as- Kal Ho Na Ho. I would give this movie an 8/10 since it is an amazing romantic comedy, never a dull moment but I think some scenes could be changed or improved to fit every audience, making it more family friendly.
