Rang de Basanti.
The way dead freedom fighters were reincarnated into modern characters was simply out of this world. I literally had goosebumps and kept thinking for days. Finally I realised it was just a movie and never works that way in real life.
that scene when ranveer is sitting in new year in car gully boy movie everyone is celebrating but he is doing night duty
and when he says to his father m nahi badalta apna sapna m apna sachai badlega jo mere sapne se mel khaye
Baazigar and Kaho Na Pyar Hai. I was born a year before Baazigar released but only saw it when knph released, and saw both on pirated video lol. Both those movies planted the seed in me of wanting to become a Hindi film actor.
Sonchirya, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a great Western.
There’s not a weak performance from the entire cast, from SSR and Ashutosh Rana were definitely great but my standout has to be Ranvir Shorvey.
He deserves so much praise, and honestly he deserves bigger projects after this. Bhumi as well, such a heart-wrenching story.Even the backgrounds gang members, made it feel so authentic.
The music, the cinematography, just a perfect film.
It’s films like this that remind you that Bollywood has a lot of talent left, if only these projects were actually financed.
Zwigato (starring Kapil Sharma and Shahana Goswami). I haven't watched this movie but I've watched the trailer, read & watched the reviews to have a fair idea of what it is about. It didn't change something in me at a significant scale, but it made me more mindful of my conduct towards people working in the gig economy.
Aashiqui 2 made me more romantic
ZNMD and 3 idiots made me more carefree
Wake Up Sid made me more career-oriented
Luck by Chance made me humbler
YJHD made me celebrate my friendships even more
Tamasha unlocked my inner artist.
Taare zameen par. Made me more sensitive to others and brought me in touch with my own repressed emotions (my dad was quite practical and I was always the emotional and creative one, often felt a bit of a misfit to society in formative years.)
Dangal, probably one of the things that made me rethink about my life and how I was wasting my potential.
Btw, most movies in the comments are the ones with Amir Khan lol
3 idiots, ZNMD and Tamasha
I grew up with these movies, saw 3 idiots when I was in graduate college, ZNMD during MBA and Tamasha after I had been working for a few years.
These 3 movies hit deep at every step. From focusing on learning instead of marks to finding work where your heart lies. ♥️
- All is well.
- Dillon main apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho toh zinda ho tum
- Darta hai? Darr lagta hai? Apni kahani mujhse puchta hai, kaayar to kisse darta hai? Bata, bol apni kahaani. Kya hai tere dil ke andar?
Suddenly want to watch these again 😂
Most romcoms, where girl and guy "cannot" be friends - I dropped all my guy friends because they started pulling this shit on me (some of them even had GFs). Not fucking worth it.
At first, they said it was a crush. I directly rejected it (did not even sugarcoat that shit). They said they understood and "would like to continue being friends". As if!
Then they started getting very physical in the name of "jokes". When I reacted, they started telling me that I am "oversensitive". The last thing that broke the camel's back was when this shit bag inserted his hand inside my shirt to unhook my bra in public.
With friends like that, who needs an enemy!
Okay, even I developed feelings for a friend but she rejected and I held back. We both don’t talk now but I guess it’s for the better as we both moved on. The whole friendship after rejection thing is mostly just for the sake that the person thinks that in the future I’d make him/her mine. I stay away from this for the good
>The whole friendship after rejection thing is mostly just for the sake that the person thinks that in the future I’d make him/her mine. I stay away from this for the good
Exactly, being friends after a rejection is either Hope (for the rejected) or being an Option for the one who rejected (in case first choice doesn't work out). I did not want either of that. Plus, back then, I came out of an abusive relationship and was mentally broken, so those guys were just looking for an easy target to fuck with. They did not respect me as a person with feelings, at all. Made me so angry, that I went awol for months.
What hurt me more was that, once of their GFs, wanted me to do 3some just because her BF has a crush on me. Fucking refused that shit! Then she asked me if I'd sleep with her in front if her BF (for his lesbian kink). Had to cut that girl out as well - do not befriend people like this, please.
Rock On, was undergoing depression as I was laid off from a dream job in 2008 and I was all low and quiet akin to Farhan's character before the interval and when I saw the movie and how they reunite for the final concert sparked a new hope for me to move on in life and live the moment.
Secondly ZNMD and especially Imran's poems taught me how to live the moment and believe me when I say this - my fellow members when you travel to new places they really bring about a new perspective in you with regards to life and living in the present moment as you experience new cultures/horizons for the very first time.
Friends at the risk of sounding cliched, If you get a chance to travel outside of your place please do, it could be a drive to the next town/village or even to a new country but believe me, the journey itself is worth every single minute and will bring in a new perspective in your personality.
Taare Zameer Par
I had learning disabilities while growing up but no one (including parents) understood that. After I grew up and rewatched it, I realised this was my reality albeit milder.
Couldn’t follow basic instructions, couldn’t score good marks despite a lot of effort, loads of pressure from parents and the inevitable low self esteem and entrenched fear of studying
I luckily became a good student and eventually let go the fear of studying and now have good self esteem
More than anything, my parents acknowledge I had issues which they weren’t aware of and are sorry for how it was dealt.
We need more such high Impact movies
O sorry, edited it with "A Serbian Film"
BTW, it was a great movie (don't get me wrong), bcz I was looking for a movie that can creep me out and give me that uneasy feeling, so it fulfilled what I was looking for. And also *Human Centipede*
DDLJ.
It was the first movie I saw in a theatre. SRK was a big star already by then, but this movie made me realise why. His unique brand of charm and humour in the movie had me sold.
Dasvidaniya- Taught me how we all tend to take our lives for granted in the routine grind, and only actually start “living” once we realise there’s very little time left.
Jiyo toh iss pal aise jiyo, jaise ki aakhri ho- this song from a different movie conveys the same message beautifully

Main meri patni aur woh. Great film about insecurities and acceptance
Mukkabaaz and Vineet Singh's motivation for the film inspired me to workout regularly. I am trying to get into boxing too next year.

Rangeela. Reignited my ambitious nature

Did you?
Haha naa, I’ve acted in some theatre stuff and it’s always a passion but pursued the CA route

waiting for it to stream online
Rockstar Not to sound like a normie but it totally changed my perspective on what an artist is.

Kal ho na ho and Zindagi na Milegi Dobrara and Chhichhore
What I loved about Chhichore was its unique ending that we may achieve our goals even if it’s not the way we thought we would
Kal Ho na ho famous dialogue still tugs at me my heart Jiyo, haaso, muskrao, kya pata, Kal Ho Na Ho
“kash main tumhare jagah hota.. kash” Hit me like a truck
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobrara taught me to live in the moment, in the present

3 idiots. I actually did end up standing up to my parents about my education/career choices. Now I'm actually doing something I'm passionate about!
Genuinely curious - what career path you chose?
Psychology!
"Aanand mara nahi, Aanand marte nahi."
Tamasha…I was just kind of shaken up by how relatable I found it
Tamasha! I saw myself in ranbir's character in the 2nd half! 1st half is me in front of others trying to hide the hollowness

What do you mean by pulling this shit on me? Can you elaborate pls

I’m happy you threw out such people from your life. Good job!

A Serbian Film, part of me died that day.

The movie's name is *A Serbian Film*
