gives a very subtle message of what’s gonna happen if we do not start eating
and living right!
Adventures of TinTin– We all have read Tin Tin since our school days,
and the fun just never stops! With good story and humor thrown about, this

Harry Potter series (all 7 titles)– J.K. Rowling started writing
these stories as bedtime tales for her son, and soon became an international

Harry Potter. The story starts from how Harry is born and survives an attack by
Voldemort, and ends with the end of Evil. Watch all 7 titles (8 movies) to see
how it all unfolds.

series based on a Trilogy which is almost as good as the novel if not better!

through.

which do not scare you like the ghosts in usual horror movies, but shakes your
nerves in a worse way!
Seven– A
psyco is out in the open killing people to show examples of the seven deadly
sins. Edge of the seat screenplay.
Carry on Jatta – A typical Punjabi movie and a comedy to its very
core. Perfect example of ROFL with awesome story involving a complex mixup of
who’s who’s wife, who’s staying in which house, who’s who’s father and oh god!!
Watch it if you can understand Punjabi language fairly well, cos honestly the
feel just won’t be the same with English subtitles.

norm and AI (Artificial Intelligence) has taken over mankind. That’s when, The

has won so many Oscars that I doubt if there’s anyone who has not seen this
epic movie based on the true story of the grand ship, Titanic that sank on its
first journey when it hit an iceberg.

Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander – This movie is from the early days of Amir
Khan, when he was at his cutest best! The story revolves around the rivalry
between the 4 colleges in the area and how a cycle race changes their lives.
Lagaan– Lagaan
was sent for the Oscar’s in the Best Foreign Film category. It’s one of Amir’s
best ventures. The movie is set in the pre-independence India. A cricket match
is set to see if the taxes on the poor farmers can be lifted for the period of
draught. A must watch movie, for incredible story, fabulous direction and smart
filling of jokes and humor throughout!
Slumdog Millionaire – This is based on a novel Q&A by Vikas Swarup.
As the title says, it’s a story of how a slumdog from the poorest corners of
India, becomes a millionaire on a KBC kind of show. But not cos he crammed or
read about the answers to the questions, but because each question had it’s
answer presented to him in the events of his life since his begging days to his
call centre days!
