Bollywood..the word itself is an emotion. There is simply no one who in one way or the other, isn’t inspired by it. Bollywood is not just about films, film stars, stories or glamour. Some part of this industry is definitely a part of every Indian.
Moreover, movies are a mirror of the society we live in. It would not be wrong to say that movies and society are directly proportional to each other. Either the movies show what happens in the society, or the society follows what is shown in movies. Since they play such influential roles in our lives, it is important that we stay aware about them.
Here are some movies of 2019 that must be on everyone’s watch list.

The epic battle of Saragarhi and in it the character of Ishar singh, portrayed very realistically by Akshay Kumar is what this movie is about. The story is about the newly made Sikh regiment of the British Indian Army and how it fought one of the greatest and bravest battles in the history of India. Unable to follow the orders of the British government, Ishar Singh is sent to Saragarhi where 20 other Sikh soldiers await him. It is them whom he leads in a battle against 10,000 Afghans. Thus, this battle of the odds is worth giving a watch. Pride and courage runs in the blood of every Indian, we just don’t remind ourselves of it. This movie is a chance to pay homage to all those brave hearts that fought against the odds.

Starring Nawazuddiniqui and Sanya Malhotra in the lead roles, Photograph is an extra ordinary story in a world full of ordinary people. Rafi (Nawazuddin) is a struggling street photographer who is frustrated by his grandmother, who is constantly pressurizing him to get married. As a solution, he convinces a stranger (Miloni aka Sanya) who is his customer, to pose as his fiancé. Their journey begins when he shows this photograph to his grandmother and she asks him to get her home. The girl surprisingly agrees to it and from here on, a strange but beautiful bond between two people who are culturally and economically like the earth and the sky, begins.

Kanhu is an eight-year old boy who lives in a Mumbai slum with his mother and three siblings. He decides to write a letter to the Prime Minister of India after his mother is raped. The story is a soulful mix of beautiful human emotions and their ups and downs. Nobody should miss this beautiful portrayal of a mother-son relationship and how it evolves with time and according to situations.
Romeo Akbar Walter
Drama/ Thriller

An ode to all those masked men who never reveal their identities but willingly enter the enemy land for their country, Romeo Akbar Walter is based upon the life of such a man, an Indian spy- Ravindra Kaushik who crossed the border during the 1971 war and gathered crucial information for the nation. The three names in the title are the ones adorned by John Abraham (in the role of Ravindra Kaushik) as a spy for RAW. It is a striking story about this man, and reminds us of thousands of others who sacrifice everything they have in life for the sake of their motherland. I think every Indian who watches the movie, would be able to see himself as that spy on the screen and feel what he must have felt.
Kalank
Drama/Romance

A period drama set in the 1940s Pakistan, the movie features a love story at the time of partition. Described as “a story of turbulent relationships and eternal love” by Karan Johar, this story could be one of his best works. Moreover, the touch of ‘Pakistan during partition’ adds to the excitement. And though Karan Johar’s films ARE a little over the top, but a love story is still his forte. Therefore, the movie is definitely worth giving a watch.
