He was a criminal before he died but now he is a guardian angel. This fantasy film is delightfully hilarious. The movie also stars Urmila Matondkar as Mala.
Acha hai, Bahut Acha Hai! The popular dialogue of Nana Patekar comes from this movie. Before movies like Gangs of Wasseypur came, this was considered the OG gangster movie. The veteran star gave one of his finest performances in the movie. The song Tera Gum Mera Gum will bring out tears every time you watch this.

Nasha Ye Pyaar ka Nasha hai! Mann is one of his cliched feel-good movies to watch. From comedy to romance, this gripping tale is an emotional roller-coaster. The movie has some great songs like Chaha Hai Tujhko, Tinak Tin Tana and Kali Naagin Ke Jaise among others.

Starring legends like Nana Patekar, Dimple Kapadia, Atul Agnihotri, Mamta Kulkarni, Danny Denzongpa and Paresh Rawal in lead roles, this movie has a great storyline that will keep you intrigued.

What's the story about? The movie revolves around a young man disowned by his parents lands up in a village controlled by underworld dons and powerful politicians. He is lazy and alcoholic but once he is influenced by a journalist, he joins him on his positive mission.
This is from the era when Ram Gopal Varma's underworld films were actually good. The hard-hitting tale was so good that it made the lead actor Chakravarthy an overnight star. The movie written by Anurag Kashyap and Saurabh Shukla was a turning point in Manoj Bajpayee's career as well.
From Tu Hi Re to Kehna Hi Kya, the most controversial movie of its time, Bombay has some great soul-stirring songs composed by AR Rahman. When a Hindu man and a Muslim woman fall in love in a small town and move to Mumbai, religious tensions and riots in Bombay tears them apart. How the family endured through the hellish experience is worth a watch. The movie is inspired by real-life riots that took place in Bombay.
If watched in the current times, the movie might turn out to be a bit over the top. Not only Sunny Deol has given a stellar performance in the movie, but Amrish Puri's role as ailing father also struck a chord with the audience. On the other hand, Danny played the role of Katya, one of the best ever fearsome villains Bollywood had ever seen.
