In the first 7
months of 2014 only a handful of movies have done well both critically and
commercially, starting with the beautiful chemistry between Khaalu and Babban
in Dedh Ishqiya to the stunning hat trick by Alia Bhatt with Highway, 2 states
and Humty Sharma. Alia should be declared the man of the series oops the lady
of the series of 2014 with UTV and Phantom vying for the honours of being
the best production house of the year. Here is a list of movies that have
impressed a wider range of audience in 2014 so far.
1. Dedh
Ishqiya- Khaalu and Babban were a riot, period, really looking forward to the
third instalment by Abhishek Chaubey.
2. Hasee to
Phasee – Parineeti Chopra will not win anything for the movie, but the
performance was nuanced and brilliant.
3. Queen –
Easily the performance of the year by Kangana Ranaut.
4. Highway- Imtiaaz
Ali doesn’t need any feedback or applause to produce the kind of work that he
does, straight from the gut.
5. 2 States –
Apart from Arjun Kapoor all other cast members were brilliantly cast and it was
the original Indian story and screenplay which helped it sail through.
6. Hawaa
Hawaii – After Vishal Bhardwaj the second best multi-talented person in the
Indian Film Industry is Amol Gupte, he acts, writes, directs and produces and
he is in love with children. Saare zameen par, I mean critics were floored.
7. Humpty
Sharma ki Dulhaniya- I haven’t seen this movie since I am not a Varun Dhawan
fan but going by the buzz in offices, malls and neighbourhoods, it seems the
movie hit the right cords.
Here is
