Teri Meri Kahaani

Teri Meri Kahaani spans three eras, with each era featuring a pair of lovers as portrayed by Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. It opens in Bombay in 1960 as breezy but unemployed musician Govind (Shahid) bumps into famous Bollywood actress Ruksar (Priyanka) on a Poona-to-Bombay rail coach. Their flirtation persists all the way to the Bollywood studio, but then is derailed by an unexpected love triangle. As things look their bleakest, the camera cuts away.

Talaash

One late evening, near Mumbai's red light district, a car careens off the infamous Seaface Road and hurtles into the sea. The car's lone occupant doesn't survive the plunge. And when word circulates that the casualty is a famous Bollywood film star, what starts out as a routine auto accident investigation soon catapults the morose lead detective, Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat (Aamir Khan), into a haunting maze of deception, fatal attraction, and murder. Maybe it's significant that similar freak accidents have happened on that same road.

An encounter with an old classmate, Aditi (Kalki Koechlin), makes her realise that she wants more from life than high marks.

Get Shorty

Hailed by many critics as one of the best films of 1995, this finely tuned black comedy sparked a renewed interest in movies based on books by prolific crime novelist Elmore Leonard, whose trademark combination of tight plotting and sharp humor is perfectly captured here. After the success of Pulp Fiction, John Travolta continued his meteoric comeback as Chili Palmer, a Mob "mechanic" whose latest assignment takes him to Los Angeles, where his fascination with the movie business turns into a new career as a would-be movie producer.

Flash Of Genius

In the early-1990s, Greg Kinnear was just another amiable talk show host. After As Good As It Gets, however, Kinnear confirmed he could act. If Flash of Genius isn't as harrowing as the Bob Crane biopic Auto-Focus, Kinnear digs just as deep to play a man possessed, in this case taking on Bob Kearns, a Detroit physics professor who invented the intermittent windshield wiper. Supported by his wife (Lauren Graham) and best friend (Dermot Mulroney, making the most of an underwritten part), Kearns aims to align himself with a Motor City auto maker to manufacture his device.
