Thanks Maa
While growing up, we are very carefree which in turn sometimes makes us look at life lightly. We assume that whenever we go wrong, someone will definitely correct us, also we assume someone will be there for us for sure. But there are children who have no one for them, no family and no friends. They learn about life from their experience. The movie, Thanks Maa is about Child Abandonment. The story revolves around a 12 year old child and his 4 friends, who while running away from a reformatory, find an abandoned two – day old baby. They stand firm in their determination of finding the mother and they succeed. But in the process, Municipality loses respect for the mental flawless image of the mother he had, because somewhere deep in his heart, he still hopes that his own mother who abandoned him in a Municipality Hospital 12 years ago, would come looking for him.
Noukadubi
Naukadubi is based on a novel by Rabindranath Tagore. Starring Riya Sen, Raima Sen, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Jisshu Sengupta, Noukadubi is a tender love story revolving around 4 people. Prosenjit and Raima love each other and want to marry. But due to family pressure on Prosenjit, he ends up marrying Riya Sen.

But Riya considers him her husband. In due course of time, Prosenjit accepts his fate and starts interacting with Riya. But gradually, he realizes that Riya is not the woman who he was supposed to marry, but actually the bride of another man, portrayed by Jisshu. In case you don’t watch Bengali movies, this movie is also available in Hindi, “Kashmakash”.
Firaaq
Many a time in our lives, we come across crossroads, where we start questioning our life, our existence, our faith, our beliefs. Directed by Nandita Das, Firaaq is a political thriller, based on the aftermath of the Gujarat riots. The movie showcases the lives of six people which are not connected to each other. Yet, they keep you glued till the end. The movie is intriguing and makes us question our faith in the ways of life.
Nishant
To what extent can we go for the person we love? Nishant, directed by the eminent Shyam Benegal and starring Shabana Azmi,Naseeruddin Shah, Smita Patil and Amrish Puri, is about sexual exploitations of women back in the feudal age in Indian states. The story is about the struggle of a school teacher against four
corrupt feudal lords of his village, who have kidnapped his young wife. And the situation is more or less, similar to today’s plights faced by women.
Muktodhara
This is one of my personal favorite Bengali movies, of course based on another one of Tagore’s novels. The movie based on prison inmates, in the Presidency Jail. The inmates, who have really dark pasts, try to reform themselves over time. The movie has some really beautiful tracks, and will definitely touch your heart.
Tahaan
Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai. As kids we all had some really awesome friends, some imaginary, some from the classrooms of our kindergarten. But Tahaan, the eight-year old boy found friendship in his pet donkey. The movie stars Anupam Kher, Purav Bhandare, Rahul Bose and Sarika. The movie Tahaan is about the boy trying to find the meaning and the purpose of his small world, and though it is about a kid, it will certainly amaze you.
Kanchivaram
We all love a bit of Tollywood, don’t we? Kanchivaram is a National Award winning Tamil movie, starring Prakash Raj, Shriya Reddy and Shammu. The story is about silk weavers of Kanchipuram, who lead a hand-to-mouth life everyday. How they struggle, how they live, how they work, the movie shows it all. And you’ll surely be moved. Do watch, subtitles available 🙂
Kabuliwala
Another adaptation of Tagore’s novel of the same name! It’s a movie from 1961 and portrays the sweet relationship between Afghan immigrant, Khan, who sells dry fruits, and Mini, a little girl, whom he considers as his daughter, in memory of his actual daughter whom he left behind in Afghanistan. The tender story of their relationship surely will bring a smile on your face.
Black Freedom
For all you poetry freaks, this short movie directed by award-winning director Nitin Kakkar, pays a tribute to Saadat Hasan Manto’s poem. It’s beautiful, do watch.
Shabd
Though very underrated, this is one fine movie, and I personally recommend it. Starring Sanjay Dutt, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Zayed Khan, the story about a writer, played by Dutt, and his wife Aishwarya. He writes a novel about a woman named Tamanna but whatever he imagines and writes, it comes true, in the life of Aishwarya. At a point, he writes about a man falling in love with Aishwarya. Shortly after, Aishwarya, who works in a school, meets Zayed. Zayed, unknown to the fact that she is married, falls in love with her. This movie also has one of my favorite songs, “Khoya Khoya” 😉
