The Hindi movie industry continues to churn out one excellent movie after another. I profile two wonderful Hindi movies I’ve seen in the last month.

Johnny Gaddar (2007) – A whodunit movie. The audience knows the killer but the characters in the movie don’t. Catchy music, tight story and great atmospherics. Story keeps surprising. Made very stylishly. Don’t want to give away more. Just watch it!!

Sidharth’s Rating 4/5

Khosla ka Ghosla – A 2006 movie that I watched recently. A land shark forcibly occupies a family’s plot of land. In the movie the family tries to fight back and recover their land. They try all methods to get their land back: the police, the politicians, other gangsters but nothing seems to work!

Khosla ka Ghosla is a dark comedy that portrays land sharks, politicians, policemen, land brokers and assorted middle men in an amazingly accurate way. Bomman Irani (the land shark) and Anupam Kher (the plot owner) are the lead actors and they do an amazing job. Khosla ka Ghosla is an intelligent and perceptive film that just happens to be a comedy.Thoroughly enjoyable.

Sidharth’s Rating 4.5/5

P.S. Why wasn’t Khosla ka Ghosla India’s entry for the Oscar ?
