I always thought that Hollywood movies are far better then Bollywood movies. But I think I always forget that there are some gems which go unnoticed.. one of them is Ankahee (1985), which I watched today. It is such a beautiful piece of art.. fantastic acting and dialogues to go with a beautiful story. The song Thumak Thumak Pad was my favorite since the time I came across it for the first time (that was when Pt. Bhimsen Joshi passed away and I was going through his biography). Back then I never realised that the song would be from such an amazing movie.
In last week I have watched few other classic movies which I found literally wowww.. like Sooraj ka saatwan ghoda, Balika Badhu... and now many more are lined up.. like Paromitar ek din, Ek Doctor ki Maut...
While I was reading about 100 years of Indian cinema in an TOI article, I was thinking there is also a parallel cinema which is unheard and unspoken of.
Suggestions for similar movies are welcome :)

Nice title :)
This is an all time topic on our lunch table in office.. have heard 'Ek Doctor ki Maut' is good one.. You can add 'Bandini' in your list :) !!
I suggest that you see "Ek Doctor ki Maut" first. Fantastic movie with a very good cast.
@ Akanksha - Thanks :)
@ Richa & माधुरी कुलकर्णी - Suggestions noted :) more movies are always welcome ;)
By any chance have you watched 'Bhumika' directed by Shyam Benegal? Do watch if you get. Here we had a long debate after watching this movie..
Nope..haven't watched, though I remember reading about it once.. appeared interesting. Btw what was the debate about?
