I’m a fan of feel-good movies that instantly lift our spirits and lighten the mood. There are a few Bollywood films like Alia Bhatt’s ‘Dear Zindagi’ and Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Jab We Met’ that have touched my heart and taught me important life lessons. As we approach the weekend, here are six feel-good films that are instant mood boosters:
- Jab We Met
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapoor’s 2007 film ‘Jab We Met’, directed by Imtiaz Ali, will always be special to me, as it taught me a lot about unconditional love. The romantic comedy also emphasized on self-love with Kareena’s character ‘Geet’ and her iconic ‘main apni favorite hoon’ dialogue.
2. Dear Zindagi
Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan’s 2016 film ‘Dear Zindagi’ directed by Gauri Shinde is about a budding cinematographer named ‘Kaira’ who seeks therapy and finds a newer and fresher perspective on life.
3. Queen
Kangana Ranaut’s 2013 film ‘Queen’ is about a fictional character named ‘Rani’ whose life takes an intriguing turn after her fiance breaks off their engagement and she decides to go on her honeymoon alone in Europe.
4. Tamasha
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s 2015 film ‘Tamasha’, directed by Imtiaz Ali, is my all-time favorite, as it taught me to follow my heart. The film resonates with the youth as it showcases the faster pace and stressful life of this generation and emphasizes discovering one’s true self.
5. Qarib Qarib Singlle
Irrfan Khan and Parvathy Thirovothu’s 2017 romantic drama film ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’, directed by Tanuja Chandra, is about a 35-year-old widow who enrolls herself on a dating app and goes on to meet a happy-go-lucky person.
6. 3 Idiots
The 2009 comedy drama widely resonates with the students as it showcases the mental pressure they face. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film presents the lives of engineering students with the characters of Raju and Farhan meeting Rancho, who has an interesting perspective!
