Sujata (1959)

Cast: Nutan, Sunil Dutt, Shashikala Director: Bimal Roy Music: S.D. Burman Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri Capsule Review: Nutan and Bimal Roy gave cinema their first stunner in Sujata.

When you see trailers of a movie which falls under the Yash Raj banner, with beautiful locations such as Singapore and Priyanka Chopra showing off a new hairdo and her long and lean legs, you can’t help but expect something trendy and funny.

3 Idiots (2009)

3 Idiots has to be the most anticipated film of the year (2009) and will most certainly bag the coveted award for best film, as most Aamir Khan starrers do. With all the hype that Aamir created for a movie that was overtly simple and understated, one really couldn’t sense how successful the film would be ...
