<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three hours of entertainment. Some songs, dance, action and
comedy. Sounds familiar?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bollywood movies have always been
the most popular mode of entertainment in India. We are all familiar with the
on-screen running around the trees, high-octane action sequences, twins
separated at birth reuniting decades later with a sprinkle of romance and lots
of <i>mirch masala. </i>We leave the theatres after watching these movies
wanting our lives to be a perfect film story with a happy ending.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But sometimes, we want to
experience something historical, contemporary, something more deep rooted and
intense. This is when we wish to watch movies which leave a greater impact on
the society as they entertain leaving an impactful message that concerns all of
us living together in a society. Some of these movies actually change our
mindsets while some fill us up with emotional turmoil and some others, give our
life a new direction. Indian Cinema, over the years, has beautifully
transformed and re-invented itself. From socially relevant topics of child
marriage, dowry, female feticide, re-marriage to a simple love story,
film-makers have done it all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1988, <b>Mira Nair</b> made
her directorial film debut with <b>Salaam Bombay! </b>which chronicled the lives

its authenticity and unwavering portrayal of the life of Mumbai's abandoned and
homeless youth. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some <b>Ketan Mehta</b> will
always remain the man who made <b>Mirch Masala</b>. An attention grabbing film,
it rotates around the gender divide in the society. It is the story of Sonabai <b>(SmitaPatil)</b>
and her struggle to protect her sanctity from the evil Subedar <b>(Naseeruddin
Shah)</b> and a village full of sexist men. The dusty and dried surroundings of
Kutch shown in the movie probably are an illustration for the values of a male
and class-dominated Indian culture. </span></div>

rare film and an attempt to showcase the dilemmas faced by urban Muslims
thoughtfully but boldly. In addition to the portrayal of Bombay’s <i>mohalla</i>
life, it also shows the joys of friendship and camaraderie and pleasure of
loafing around. Salim Langda <b>(Pawan Malhotra)</b> is a confident petty thief.
Salim earns his livelihood by doing odd jobs for the big bosses of Bombay’s
underworld. His final ambition is to ape these underworld kings whose status he

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ek Doctor Ki Maut</b> is an
award winning film by the noted Bengali director <b>Tapan Sinha</b>, which
depicts the ostracism, bureaucratic negligence and insult of a doctor and his
research, instead of recognition and credit. This movie is loosely based on the
life of Dr. Subhash Mukhopadhyay, an Indian physician who pioneered the IVF
treatment just around the same time when another leading scientist, Dr. Robert
Edwards was conducting separate experiments in England.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Gandhi (1982)</b> was produced
and directed by <b>Richard Attenborough</b> and written by <b>John Briley</b>.
Starring <b>Ben Kingsley, Candice Bergen, Edward Fox, John Gielgud, Trevor

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gandhi is the highest
Oscar winning film of all time – claiming eight awards from 11 nominations,
including Best Film – although it almost never got made! The late director
Richard Attenborough revealed in of his interviews "It took me 20 years to
get the money to get that movie made. I remember my pitch to 20th Century Fox.
The guy said: 'Dickie, it's sweet of you to come here. You're obviously
obsessed. But who will be interested in a little brown man wrapped in a sheet
carrying a beanpole?' I would have loved to have met that guy after the
Oscars!”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Attenborough knew that he
would be telling one of the 20th-century's most remarkable stories, that of the
Indian lawyer who returned from racially segregated South Africa to drive the
British out of his home country through successive acts of non-violent protest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Mammo (1994),</b> a film by <b>ShyamBenegal</b>,
is the first film in the series of Muslim trilogy including Sardari Begum
(1996) and Zubeidaa (2001).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The film portrays the flinching
truths frequently confronted by the powerless, post-partition. It reminds of
the emotional torture of being torn far from one's roots over and over; in
spite of one turning a blind eye or making a noise for change in the circumstances
which they have no control over. It makes one appreciate something which is
frequently is taken for granted until it is lost or gone for good. The
character of Mammo<b> (Farida Jalal),</b> abandons her family and home behind
for love and moves to Pakistan. They live in peaceful co-existence until her
husband leaves Mammo defenseless and desolate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though the motion picture is
named after Mammo, the film tells two stories, one of Mammo, obviously, and
other of youthful Riyaaz…His life and companions, his trysts with cigarettes,
adult films, his shame that he is not as affluent as his companions, him trying
to find himself, his bothering on seeing a stranger trying to be a part of his
family and his ambition of turning into an author in the future. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This movie is also the recipient
of National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi and Filmfare Critics
Award for Best Performance by Farida Jalal and National Film Award for

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Massey Sahib</b> is a 1985 film directed by <b>Pradip Krishen,</b>
featuring Raghuvir Yadav in the main role. It was Pradip Krishen's
first film, and was based on a novel <b><i>Mister Johnson</i></b> written by <b>Joyce
Cary </b>in 1939. The film also has stars like Arundhati Roy, who was
yet to pen down her first novel and win the Man Booker Prize, alongside Barry
John and Veerendra Saxena.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This story revolves around a man who is stuck in the
crossfire where British Frontier principles smothered Indian freedom and
colonializes it. This is a story told from an Indian perspective. Francis
Massey <b>(Raghuvir Yadav)</b> works as a secretary for a British government
officer in central India. Francis tries to out-do his employer in an attempt to
be more British than him. He dresses British and even has a church wedding. He
is not the most productive or gifted specialist, and his supervisor, the
Commissioner Charles Adam <b>(Barry John),</b> regularly mediates on his
benefit. But, Massey's unexpected fate is entirely past the Commissioner's
mediation.</span></div>
