Pick of the Crop 2010 Films
I am an NRI, translated into: no-real Indian. I follow Indian cinema in my quest to find only one million original films before humanity as we know it disappears. I will use the term Indian cinema sparingly because I only have access to Hindi films, not Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati and other languages.
Film of the year 2010 picks – My Take
| FILM | PRODUCERS | QUOTABLE QUOTE |
| My Name is Khan | Dharma Productions Fox Star Studio Fox Searchlight Pictures Red Chillies Entertainment | “My name is Khan. I’m not a terrorist,” says Khan. |
| Raavan | Madras Talkies | “If you wander in the sun, you’ll have the same colour as us. Black.” Beera to Ragini. |
| Paa | A.B. Corporation Sunil Manchanda | “Do you want this baby or not?” Vidya’s mother to her daughter. |
| Endhiran | Sun Pictures | “I want to live. I love Sana,’ says Chitti the robot to Vasi. |
| Knock out | AAP Entertainment | “The British robbed India for 150 years. Politicians have stolen more in the 60 years of independence,” says the sniper on the roof to Tony Khosla. |
| Dabangg | Arbaaz Khan Productions | “Has your father arranged your marriage?” says Chulbul to Rajjo. |
| Aakrosh | Big Screen Entertainment Zee Motion Pictures | “Where is the boy that survived?” asks Siddarth. “He’s ironing his shirt,” replied Pratap. |
| Pepli | Amir Khan Productions | Don’t remember. |
| Rann | Madhu Mantena | Don’t remember. |
| Khatta Meetha | Hari Om Productions Cape of Good Hope Productions | Don’t remember. |
Let’s hope we’ll see more original stories in 2011. I might close shop if we don’t and move to another country in search of original stories. I left Hollywood because of the same monotonous script. I’ll easily leave Mumbai as well.
