Stanley Ka Dabba
Some movies leave you gobsmacked with their sweetness. Others silence you with their spareness. Can a movie do both? Sometimes. Stanley ka Dabba is one of those times.

The film is like a diamond; the more you notice, the more you find imperfections which make it all the more beautiful, all the more perfect.

Sanju
Given the kind of biopics we have seen in commercial mainstream Bollywood so far, Sanju has definitely raised the bar. Watch Sanju for Ranbir Kapoor, Rajkumar Hirani, the laughs, the tears... in a nutshell, everything.
