Love is all we have

"The world is a beautiful and terrible place. Deeds of horror are committed every minute and in the end those we love die. If the screams of all earth's living creatures were one scream of pain, surely it would shake the stars. But we have love. It may seem a fragile defence against the horrors of the world but we must hold fast and believe in it, for it is all we have" - P.D. James

Fav Hindi movies of 2015

It was another great year for the movies. And more than ever, the sheer range of scripts, characters and narratives is what characterized 2015 for me. As well as the continuing bankruptcy of imagination & thought in the so-called “blockbuster” category. Unfortunately, I missed several good movies this year and that’s a neat flow into my 2016 resolutions! But from what I watched, here are my Bollywood favorites -

1. NH10
2. Piku
3. Dum Laga Ke Haisha
4. Tanu Weds Manu Returns
5. Dil Dhadakne Do
6. Tamasha
7. Masaan
8. Badlapur
9. Bajirao Mastani
10. Byomkesh Bakshi
11. Margarita with a Straw

Missed! – Angry Indian Goddesses, Qissa, Main aur Charles, Court, Titli, Bombay Velvet, Talvar
