      1. Absolutimo, I loved both but even my children liked these movies (which is saying alot!) . ..on your list, Baahubaali, Dangaal, and 3 Idiots were amongst others they enjoyed too 👍 . . . whereas movies like 1942 and Hero (Jackie Shroff), Pakeezah and Aamar Akbar Anthony are some that I like, but they kind of roll their eyes at their buddhi amma’s choices 🙄🤣

  5. I have watched all of them and I like them all. But I also like Pink, and ae dil hain mushkil among some others. I would also like to add Parched by Anurag Kashyap even if it’s not really Bollywood, right?

      1. Oh I watched that and it’s good. I don’t know why but when I think of Baghban I also think of Waqt. I think maybe because of Mr. Bacchan. But Baghban is a must watch
