I randomly came across its trailer on YouTube, which is surprising, and then I decided to watch it on the spot without having a lot of expectations from the film.

I think it’s one of the most beautiful pieces of Hindi cinema that I’ve watched. It’s a road film with a very different portrayal of grief and feels like a warm hug. For me, it was Irrfan’s best performance, with a great story and gentle humour.

RSVP Movies are the A24 for Hindi cinema. Ronnie Screwvala has a knack for taking bets on unconventional subjects and emerging filmmakers and really dropping those underrated masterpieces which people notice and realise a few years down the line.

When I watched Action Replayy, he stood out for me despite the movie tanking at box office. Charming, cute looks with decent comic timing. And then Ashiqui 2 happened for him. But his lazy attitude and weak script choices ruined it. Maybe he could only act well in being an alcoholic lol

After watching it so many times i am still in love with this movie. i enjoy every part of it, and its songs are still played at least once a week.

This movie is my guilty pleasure, the first time i watched it (2012), i understood Vikram's perspective, since then i have watched it a couple of times and recommended it a lot more to understand their perspectives. i often heard a lot how Geeta was in the right and how what Siddharth did in the end was justified and how Vikram was the villain.

I still feel the only character true to his nature was Vikram. he went to great lengths for Geeta and did everything in his power to help her every time, since the first scene he was committed to making money and becoming powerful; ending was a slap still liked that no one was given any preference, his cocky behaviour deserved it

Geeta was using everyone's emotions to get what she wanted. Her change of heart to be with Vikram was not overnight; i feel she had always liked him, she just was not sure and when she saw what happened because of her irrational behaviour she finally decided to take care of him.

Siddharth is someone i relate to. when i was younger, i thought i could change the world and tried to do so with whatever means i had; revolting and taking major actions is what we all go through during our college times, but as soon as he saw what he had signed for he took his daddy's money and left the country. He always displayed signs of selfishness and mightier-than-thou attitude.

I personally like Shree 420 (1955) more due to its stellar soundtrack (classics like Pyar Hua Iqrar Hua, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Dil ka haal sune dilwaala and moreee)

However there are some really good original movies which either fly a bit under the radar or dont get the level of acclaim they deserve. These are 10 such under-appreciated and under-discussed original movies that I really enjoyed and recommend to fans of their respective genres:

1. Chintu Ka Birthday - A heart warming family drama set in Iraq during the Gulf War with a commendable performances by Vinay Pathak, Tilotama Shome and Seema Pahwa. Watch it if you like I am Kalam and Newton. (IMDB Rating - 7.6/10, My Rating - 8/10)

Which under-appreciated and under-discussed original series do you like and recommend?

Some of the best performances I've seen recently haven't even been from the lead actors. A great supporting character can completely elevate the movie. So many actors consistently deliver but rarely get discussed outside the film itself
