Jab We Met (2007)

This Imtiaz Ali film can be watched over and over again and believe me it never gets old. When a heartbroken young boy meets an annoyingly cheerful girl who is living life on her own terms, friendship blossoms and then how the story unfolds is quite a delight to watch. The film starring Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor will never fail to put a smile on your face even today.

Queen (2014)

This film was a breakthrough film for actor Kangana Ranaut. A refreshing film with a heartfelt performance. It's a story of a young woman who goes on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam all alone but when she comes back she is a different person.

The Lunchbox (2013)

Bored of the same old stereotypical boy-met-girl romance? Well, then this is the film for you. An unusual love story of an aged widower and a married housewife where the lunchbox plays cupid. The film starring the late Irrfan khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Nimrat Kaur is immensely enjoyable.

Dhanak (2016)

No superstars or renowned actors here but this tale is of two signings, 10-year-old Pari and 8-year-old Chotu. Both are huge fans of shah rukh khan and Salman khan respectively. This Nagesh Kukunoor's story takes a turn when the kids embark on a 300km journey all alone to see indian superstar shah rukh khan hoping that he would help them to get Chotu's eyesight back. This film is all about hope and it reminds us of the small joys of life.
