Sometimes right thing does not happen in right time. Specially in making films, if the content of the movie does not match with the time and situation of that particular moment, it does not work. Mostly in India where people are sticked to entertainment and neglect the content of the movie realizes after a period of time that how classic the movie was.
So today, we are not only going to focus over lesser known films but the movies which were exceptional in story telling but did not hype up with the masses and now must be explored for the sake of good cinema.
1. Do Dooni Char
The National award winning film which was doing under business in 2010 proves that Indian audience were not seeking for the thought provoking and engaging cinema. We can see now story based on small town is doing very good business, it is urgent to revisit the film. The iconic duo Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh playing lower middle class family trying to make a living focuses to buying and purchase a car. This is the most grounded and genuine stories that most people can relate to.
2. Liar's Dice
The Geetu Mohan Das directed film starring Nawazzudin Shiddhique and Geetanjali Thapa focuses on a woman accompanied daughter travels from small village to Delhi to find her husband. Upon this journey, they come across an army and the film takes shape. The film had understated yet effective performances showcases the socio political condition of the country as the journey continues. This one is a gem nobody should miss.
3. Khosla Ka Ghosla
The film follows a middle class family purchasing a plot of land in which they want their dream home and the problem they face with the Industrialist and the residential property racket accounts for the hilarious movie going experience. Cast of extremely talented actors and grounded in reality narrative was again not celebrated by masses at time of its release. Over the time, the movie has created its own fans and deserve a chance from overall audience.
4. Love Sex aur Dhoka
An experimental project directed by Dibakar Banerjee technically shot like no other film following 3 story lines with ensemble cast is fun to watch. A low budget film with CCTV footage of a departmental store, a handheld camera footage from a journalist and how all these stories coincide is also the birth of familiar talents which are now stars. The film provided a gripping screenplay and unique stories not entertaining for the Indian audience in 2010. The audience might not be familiar with the star cast that is why they panned it. It was definitely ahead of its time.
5. Guzaarish
Undoubtedly Sanjay Leela Bhansali's underrated film starring Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachhan follows the story of a magician who after a horrific incident becomes paralyzed from head to toe. His beautiful relationship with his nurse and everyday mental and physical battles they had to face despite brightening everyone's day with his Radio show also shows and opens several debates about domestic violence and the purpose of life. The beautiful movie with stunning visuals was failed at box office and must deserve a second chance.
