The Lunchbox
The movie is a pure example of Khan’s acting prowess. Irrfan has the talent of simply presenting complex portions to the viewers and the audience too loves it. The plot is about a widower (played by Irrfan Khan) who receives a tiffin box due to an error from dabbawalla. The story continues with characters sharing notes and talking about their lives.

Bawarchi

The family is infamous because of the inability to retain a cook due to their ill-treatment of the house helps.

He even defuses all the differences between the members and reunites, making them a happy family. Released in 1972, the movie has Harindranath Chattopadhyay, Rajesh Khanna, Jaya Bachchan, and others.
Queen
The movie teaches us many things but most importantly teaches us to back ourselves if there is no one to support us. It is the story of Rani Mehra (Kangana Ranaut) a 24-year meek but good-natured girl who decides to go on a honeymoon alone when her fiancé cancels their wedding. Rani travels around Europe. During her trip, she makes a lot of friends, gains independence, and most importantly finds joy. The film makes the viewers understand the significance of living life to the fullest and doing what we like.
Golmaal
This Hrishikesh Mukherjee directorial was a big hit at the box office. People love it for classical-traditional style comedy starring Amol Palekar and Utpal Dutt. The critics and audiences both raved about it and is considered the greatest comedy movie of all time. The film also has everything from drama to emotions to hilarity and the viewers could not stop laughing. Everyone remembers the thunderous laughter from Utpal Dutt. No one expected that a fake moustache, job hunt… confusion could produce such a level of comedy.
English Vinglish
The movie was the directorial debut of Gauri Shinde and it marked the comeback of Sridevi in movies. The movie takes us into the life of a housewife Shashi (Sridevi) who is usually mocked by her family for being weak in the English language. She discovers a new life when she flies to the US for her niece’s wedding.

The newfound confidence helps her in reasserting her value as a mother and wife. The movie has Sridevi, Adil Hussain, Priya Anand, and Sujata Kumar in the lead roles.
Sholay

This all-time classic teaches us the importance of friendship. Jai (Amitabh Bachchan) and Veeru (Dharmendra) are considered the epitome of friendship. The story is about two friends Jai and Veeru who are hired by Baldev Singh (Sanjeev Kumar) to protect villagers from dacoit and catch Gabbar Singh.

When everything comes to a dead-end, she understands that there are many things that she cannot comprehend. The story has our hearts because it is an extremely gripping tale and the unexpected revelations that happened at the end.
Anand
It is one of those movies which made the viewers weep like babies. The movie is an emotional but inspirational roller coaster about a dying Anand Saigal (Rajesh Khanna) who wants to live his life to the fullest. We see the movie from the perspective of Dr. Bhaskar Bannarjee (Amitabh Bachchan) who struggled to manage his emotions while attending to the patients suffering from various illnesses and the darkness he has to confront daily in the country. Dr. Bhaskar considered Saigal as any other patient but his experience with him left an everlasting impression on him. Bachchan’s character is motivated to write a book based on the interviews recorded with Anand. The book went on to be a best seller in the film. This 1971 film won many awards.
