Despite having a seasoned Shabana Azmi in the lead role, Makdee was a delight to watch for the impeccable acting skills of Shweta Basu Prasad in this directorial debut of Vishal Bharadwaj.
The film revolves around a series of tasks that a loving sister has to do in order to save her twin from the clutches of an evil witch, whose very existence is denied by the villagers.
2. Stanley Ka Dabba:
The Amol Gupte directorial has been appreciated for sending out such a sensitive message through a film that in its nascent stages look all fun and glam. But it is only in the later stages that one realizes that the film has a deeper and truer meaning to it after a school kids tryst with his dabba and surly teachers come into the picture.
3. Black:
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali masterpiece moved us all, but what won our hearts in the true essence was Ayesha Kapur as a young Michelle McNelly. Despite having a megastar like Amitabh Bachchan in the same frame one could not help but realize how powerful the child actor was.
Balck revolves around Debraj, a stubborn teacher helps Michelle, a girl with visual and hearing impairment, explore her potential as she takes on the challenge of graduating college.
