In one of the most understated performances of her career, the late Sridevi essays Shashi Godbole, a repressed mother and wife who is mocked by her daughter and husband for her lack of fluency in English. The film reminds us to value our loved ones and not demean them for superficial reasons. Directed by Gauri Shinde, it also stars Adil Hussain, Mehdi Nebbou and Sujata Kumar. You can watch it on Jio Cinema.
The film is not just about a young couple struggling to create a life of their own in a stifling joint family but also about the grit and talent of unsung Indians. The film follows the travails and triumphs of Mauji (Varun Dhawan) and Mamta (Anushka Sharma) who are determined to start their own clothing business despite financial challenges and familial pressure. Directed by Sharat Katariya, the film is streaming on Amazon Prime.
This film packs in romance, and family politics along with a delightful commentary on gender and cultural differences. When a spoiled, rich, Punjabi scion of a mithai empire falls for a firebrand Bengali journalist, their families are unsure if a union between the two is possible. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
This exuberant musical sets Shakespeare’s classic comedy Twelfth Night to foot-tapping fusion music and takes the story forward via intricately choreographed sequences.

It stars Geetanjali Kulkarni, Amitosh Nagpal, Sagar Deshmukh, Mansi Multani, Mantra Mugdh, Gagan Riar, Neha Saraf, Trupti Khamkar and Saurabh Nayar. Watch it on Airtel Theatre, Dish TV Rangmanch Active, and D2h Rangmanch Active.
