Rawail Music: Naushad Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni Capsule Review: Mere Mehboob is a love triangle set within a decadent aristocratic Muslim ambience, and is the best known example of the archaic genre known as the ‘Muslim Social.’ It is a painstakingly put together ritual of courtship filled ...

Anuradha (1960)
Cast: Balraj Sahni, Leela Naidu, Abhi Bhattacharya Director: Hrishikesh Mukhenee Music: Pandit Ravi Shankar Lyrics: Shailendra Capsule Review: A progressive drama, Anuradha, has stood the test of time with remarkable ease.

Rann (2010)
Amidst the abundance of directors vying for mainstream success in Bollywood, Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) is a rare breed. He directs movies that fall out of conventional Indian cinema and it seems he does it for the art of storytelling rather than aiming at box-office success. Since the critical success of the resounding Rangeela, RGV ...
