I actually came online with a specific request for Kwerky - I need to be ready with movies for when the Dabbey-wala comes back again. 😎 Do you have some suggestions for me too? I need Hindi movies - like, the really slick ones which can be appreciated by people unfamiliar with Bollywood territory. [For obvious reasons, "Queen" is out... "English Vinglish" was poorly received...]

@Children of Heaven: It is such a lovely movie. What also made me very happy was the few words of Farsi here and there that I could understand... 😳

@Wisu: I am back earlier than expected...😆...here is a list of movies I could think of from the last few years...

- A Wednesday - a nice thriller. Recommended. This was the first movie of it's director, Neeraj Pandey. His second movie - Special 26 - a movie about con-artists (based on true incidents) was enjoyable too...though there were flaws and you have to keep logic aside. I just watched his latest movie - Baby - last week. Another ok thriller but with increasing loopholes in the script.

- Taare Zameen Par - pretty good effort by Aamir Khan...do watch it if you haven't already.

- Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara - an enjoyable one-time watch...light comedy. On the lines of 'Dil Chahta Hai'...

- Lootera - Bollywood take on O'Henry's 'The Last Leaf'. Simple and effective...good music.

- Chak De India - entertaining and predictable. One movie of Shahrukh Khan that I could tolerate and found interesting. The other one is: 'Swades'. I thought they were excellent by Bollywood standards.👍🏼

- 'Lagaan' is a good movie too...though pretty long at 3hrs+.

- Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year - another one from the director of 'Chak de India'. It is a very underrated and under-appreciated movie...maybe because it is not over-dramatic. I liked it...Ranbir Kapoor was fantastic in this one. Have you watched it?

- Barfi - seen this? A lot of people find it outstanding. It is definitely different from the run-of-the-mill stuff...some great music. Though I can't stand Priyanka Chopra's performance. 😕

- Black - Rani Mukherji and Amitabh Bachchan...saw it many years back...thought it was excellent.

Has anyone seen 'The Lunchbox'? It has been celebrated and feted but I can't seem to understand the hullabaloo. Not to mention...the glaring discrepancy w.r.t. The Dabbawallahs' delivery system. I found the movie just ok...maybe because I couldn't stomach the discrepancy from the starting. 😆

So these are all that came to mind...a selection of rom-coms, dramas, thrillers. Hope it helps...😊

There are a couple of other interesting movies...don't know if you should show it to your friend...but you can surely see them yourself whenever you have time:

- Aamir

- Khosla Ka Ghosla - funny!

- If you like dark/serious/gangster movies...then I recommend Anurag Kashyap's movies - (Gangs of Wasseypur - 1&2, Dev.D, Black Friday, Ugly)... Sarkar, Sarkar Raj
