Do aankhen baarah haath (1957)
Do aankhen baarah haath won many awards at international film festivals, including the Silver Bear in Berlin, and it remains the only Hindi mainstream film that has been screened at the London Film Festival to date. However, it was only post-1955 and the release of Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali (1955) that ‘art cinema’ emerged in ...
Virsa (2010)
The film, Virsa, is a joint venture between Pakistan and India — an apparent attempt for the revival of Pakistani cinema with the idea that it could be brought about through collaborative efforts, consequently resulting in meaningful cinema. The premier held in all its glory at CineStar Cinema was attended by the film’s star cast ...
Umrao Jaan (1981)
This film is based on the Urdu novel Umrao Jaan Ada by Mirza Mohammad Hadi ‘Ruswa’, published in 1899, which presents the story of Umrao Jaan, a courtesan of Lucknow and Kanpur, as supposedly true.

Kabhi kabhie (1976)
Yash Chopra was making Deewaar at the same time as Kabhi kabhie and was working with some of the same cast. In Kabhi kabhie, this included actors who had worked across several decades, from the veteran (Waheeda Rehman) to the very young (Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh), with some actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Raakhee ...
Silsila (1981)
Silsila was controversial from the start. Even before it was released there was gossip about the casting, due to persistent rumours that it depicted a real-life love triangle between Amitabh, his wife, Jaya, and his supposed mistress, Rekha. Shekhar (Shashi Kapoor), an airforce pilot, and Shobha (Jaya Bachchan) are about to be married. He invites ...
