Vidya Balan was unabashed and coming of age in the slice of life film Tumhari Sulu Newton : Newton may not made have made it at the Academy Awards, but it sure has made a place for itself in the best movies of 2017. A must watch for the women trying to find their voice and the men to help them find it. And the fine actresses- Ratna Pathak Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aahana Kumra and Plabita Borthakur do justice to their roles. Of finding their identity beyond the shadows of the roles women have to play. Lipstick Under My Burkha is just about finding that identity-of finding womanhood. These identities have more conformity than the one which has disappeared behind the shadow of these relations. Movies and actors like these should not go unnoticed. Vikrant Massey is one actor to watch out for. The complex interpersonal relationships between the characters are the hallmark of the movie and the director captures every emotion magnificently in every frame. A Death In The Gunj is poetry on celluloid. A heart breaking tragic tale- the movie has excellent performances and an eerily haunting background score. This movie is a must watch for the performances and a brilliant portrayal of the dilemma people face when survival is pitched in front of right and wrong.Ī Death In The Gunj: Konkona Sen Sharma's directorial debut is nothing short of brilliance. He portrays it as a gradual process, like the condition of crops falling every year. ![]() The director has not shoved global warming to our faces.

These movies churned out by money making Bollywood were innovative yet entertaining and did not fail to impress us (and blow our minds.) Thus the best Hindi films of 2017 did not have a Khan or a Kapoor, but some extremely talented actors and directors at their creative best. In a breath of fresh air, small budget movies impressed the audience and how with their niche themes and coming of age storytelling. However, big budget and starry Bollywood movies failed to make the mark with biggies like Rangoon, Jab Harry Met Sejal and Tubelight failing miserably. From Padmavati becoming Padmavat to the nepotism debate, Bollywood saw ups and downs. Bollywood's 2017 has been marred with controversies. ![]()
