The 7 Best Movies of 2016....

                                                         Super 7 of 2016.

2016 has been a revolutionary year for Bollywood. Some incredible movies like Udta Punjab and Pink exposed the raw truths of our society. 2016 also welcomed biopics like Neerja and Sarbjit. A few surprises in form of Waiting also came into the limelight...

So, without a delay, here are my top 7!

7. Wazir and Parched (3.9 stars)

(Mr.Bachchan's splendid performance, Story, Direction and Aditi Hydari's supporting preformance.)

                                        

         ( A celebration of Womanhood, Art, Subject and Suvreen Chawla's outstanding performance)


                                       

6. Udta Punjab (4.1 stars)

                      (Terrific Performances, Taut Screenplay and Raw Presentation)

5.  Dear Zindagi ( 4.2 stars)
                                              

                               

                               
                                    (Plotline, Direction, Dialogues, Message and Alia!)


4. Aligarh (4.25 stars)

  

                     (  A Moving movie and A riveting performance by Manoj Bajpayee)




3. Kapoor and Sons (Since 1921) (4.3 stars)

  

   

(Spectacular Performances, Story, Music, Coonor, Real Life sequences)

2. Nil Battey Sannata ( 4.4 stars)

                                                

(Swara Bhaskar, Riya Shukla, Story, Direction and the originality of the subject)

1. Pink and Neerja (4.5 stars)

This movie shook the roots of our patriarchal society. An intriguing first half, an explosive second half gave Pink the well deserved recognition. A special mention of Andrea Tariang and Kirti Kulhari for satiating and convincing debuts. Mr. Bachchan and Taapsee need no introduction to flawless performances. Direction and creative production made Pink a rightful First Place holder.

Seems like Mr. Bachchan is on his way for his 5th National Award. ;-)

People might question, "Why not an official poster?"; The answer lies in this particular image. A role of a slain flight attendant, Neerja Bhanot who died saving 359 passengers on a Pan-Am flight rightfully deserved the national flag, as depicted.

The episode of the hijack and a mother daughter relationship, interwoven together by an ace writer, Saiwyn Quadris, gave the world , a jewel in form of Neerja, under the direction of Ram Madhvani. Neerja was inspiring, gut wrenching, intriguing and emotional. A big "jhappi" to Sonam Kapoor, who proved to the world that she can "actually" act. The content enacted by Shabana Azmi, who potrayed the role of Rama Bhanot, made eyes watery.

So, everyone this were my top 5 Bollywood movies of 2016. If you have any comment or criticism please do let me know. Since I have not watched "Dangal", which I presume is going to be amazing!
