It was received well by western audiences alike and was nominated for

submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It was
ranked #74 inEmpire magazines "The 100 Best Films Of World Cinema" in
2010.[6] Time Magazine named Devdas as the best movie of 2002 among all
the movies released around the world in 2002.[7] The film was recently
included in Time Magazine's top 10 movies of the millennium worldwide. [8]
The acting was seen by many as the primary factor for the film's success,
withShah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit all winning Filmfare
Awards for their performances. The film's success was also attributed to
the dance performances, with Dixit's "Maar Daala" considered one of the
most iconic of her career and the song "Dola Re Dola" becoming a hit due
to the unique dance duet between Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit, two of
the leading actresses of the epoch. At the time of its release, Devdas was
the most expensive Bollywood film ever produced, with a reported budget
of 50 crore(US$7.5 million).[1] The film was a major commercial success in
India and abroad, becoming the highest grossing Indian film of the year.

The film opens at the ruins of an old haveli in Calcutta, where a group of
labourers are busy pulling down what remains. When the workers break off for
lunch, the overseer (Guru Dutt) wanders through the haveli. As he sits at a place
there begins a flashback to the end of the 19th century.
The lower-class and educated Bhoothnath arrives in colonial Calcutta looking for
work. He lives in the grand haveli of the Choudhurys, a family of zamindars with
his Brother-in-Law. He works at the Mohini Sindoor factory run by Subinay Babu,
a dedicated member of the Brahmo Samaj. Subinay Babu's daughter Jaba
(Waheeda Rehman) is amused by Bhoothnath whom she considers an
unsophisticated rustic. Bhoothnath becomes fascinated with the goings-on in the
haveli and every night observes the decadent lifestyle of the Choudhury
brothers.
One night the servant, Bansi, takes Bhoothnath to meet the younger zamindar's
(Rehman) wife Chhoti Bahu (Meena Kumari) who implores him to bring her Mohini
Sindoor believing it will keep her unfaithful husband home. Bhoothnath is struck
by her beauty and sadness and inadvertently becomes Chhoti Bahu's secret
confidante. A bomb explodes in the marketplace and Bhoothnath is injured in the
ensuing crossfire between freedom fighters and British soldiers. Jaba looks after
him.
Chhoti Bahu's repeated attempts to appease her husband fail until she becomes
his drinking companion to keep him by her side. Jaba's marriage is finalised with
Supavitra (a member of Bramho Samaj) but after her father's death she declined
the marriage. Bhoothnath becomes a trainee architect and goes away to work on
a training project. After his return he find the haveli in partial ruins. Chhoti Bahu
is now a desperate alcoholic and her husband, paralysed. Meanwhile he learns
that he and Jaba were betrothed as children. One night Chhoti Bahu asks
Bhoothnath to accompany her to a nearby shrine to pray for her ailing husband.
Their conversation is heard by the elder zamindar, Majhle Babu, who suspects
that Chhoti Bahu is having an affair with Bhootnath (though really it was not). He
orders his henchmen to chase them. As Bhoothnath and Chhoti Bahu travel in the
carriage, it is stopped by the henchmen. Bhoothnath is knocked unconscious and
Chhoti Bahu is abducted. When he wakes up in hospital, Bhoothnath is told
Chhoti Bahu has disappeared and the younger zamindar is dead. The flashback
ends.
Bhoothnath's workers inform him a skeleton is found buried in the ruins of the
haveli. From the jewellery on the corpse, Bhoothnath realises it is the remains of
Chhoti Bahu.
The last scene shows a nostalgic Bhoothnath riding away on a carriage with
Jaba, who is now his wife. In this, the filmed version departs significantly from
the novel, where Jaba and Bhoothnath do not get a happy ending.
The film also depicts the decline of the old landed zamindari families of Bengal
during the 19th century.

Story [edit]
Lalita is an orphaned niece of an impoverished clerk named Gurucharan. She
falls in love with Shekhar, son of their rich landlord neighbor. Gurucharan has to
mortgage his house to Shekhars father in order to get one of his daughters
married as he is heavily debt ridden. Shekhars father, often chides him about his
overdue loan and a day comes when, completely pressed on all sides,
Gurucharan is forced to take advantage of the altruistic offer of an interest free
loan made by a wealthy young man named Girin. This gives rise to an ugly
misunderstanding that Lalita has been "sold" to Girin. What happens thereafter
forms the gripping rest of this great story of perfect love. Beautiful part of this
movie is dialogue and communication between Meena Kumari and Ashok Kumar.

Plot[edit]
The story is set around the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Javed Khan (Shashi Kapoor) is
a feckless feudal chieftain with a Muslim Pathan heritage, whose world revolves
around breeding carrier pigeons. His younger brother-in-law, Sarfaraz Khan
(Naseeruddin Shah) is politically awakened and actively plots the fight against
the British. Freedom fighters attack the local British administrators while they
are in Sunday Worship at Church, massacring them all. Miriam Labadoor, Jennifer
Kendal) manages to escape with her daughter, Ruth (Nafisa Ali) and mother. The
three women seek refuge with the wealthy Hindu family of Lala Ramjimal
(Kulbhushan Kharbanda). Lala is torn between his loyalty for India and his
privileged position under the British. However, matters are taken out of his hand
by Javed Khan who barges into Lala's house and forcibly takes Ruth and her
family to his own house. This leads to jealousy on part of his wife, Firdaus
(Shabana Azmi) and anger on part of his brother, who ultimately gives in to the
Pathan tradition of offering hospitality and sanctuary (Nanawatai) even to
uninvited guests. Various situations ensue due to cultural misunderstandings in
the domestic routine of the Muslim household with its new English guests. Javed
falls in love with Ruth, and wants to marry her but is opposed bitterly by her
mother. Noticing intense feelings of Javed for her daughter Ruth, Miriam
Labadoor (mother) cleverly makes an agreement with Javed that she would only
give her daughters hand to Javed if British were defeated. At first instance,
Javed is hesitant but accepts the offer when again Miriam asks him if he has
misgivings in his war against the British. There are simmerings of a love affair
under the watchful suspicious eyes of Firdaus.
Meanwhile the Rebellion runs into problems and the British are defeating the illorganized Indian forces. In a stormy scene, Sarfaraz destroys Javed's pigeon
coops and sets his pets free after he finds out that Indian forces have lost the
Battle for Delhi. There is a delayed recognition by Javed of his subjugated
identity, colonised by the British. Sarfaraz dies in a battle against the British.

3 Idiots (Hindi: ) is a 2009 Indian coming of age comedy-drama film cowritten, edited, and directed by Rajkumar Hiraniand produced by Vidhu Vinod
Chopra. Abhijat Joshi wrote the screenplay. It was loosely adapted from the
novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat. The film stars Aamir Khan, Kareena
Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Omi Vaidya, Parikshit Sahni and Boman
Irani.
Upon release, the film broke all opening box office records in India. It was the
highest-grossing film in its opening weekend in India and had the highest
opening day collections for a Indian film. It also held the record for the highest
net collections in the first week for a Bollywood film. It also had a record footfall
of 31,785,000.[4] It also became one of the few Indian films to become a major
success in East Asian markets such as China,[5] eventually bringing its overseas
total to more than US$65 million the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all
time in overseas markets, before being overtaken by Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015).
The film is distinctive for featuring real inventions by little-known people in
India's backyards. The brains behind the innovations were Remya Jose, a
student from Kerala, who created the exercise-bicycle/washing-machine;
Mohammad Idris, a barber from Meerut district in Uttar Pradesh, who invented a
bicycle-powered horse clipper; and Jahangir Painter, a painter from Maharashtra,
who made the scooter-powered flour mill.[6] This film was remade
in Tamil as Nanban (2012) which also received critical praise and commercial
success.[7][8] It has also been announced that there will be a Chinese remake of
the film produced by Stephen Chowand that there are plans for
a Hollywood remake produced in the United States.[9] A Telugu remake was
planned despite Nanbanhaving a Telugu dubbed version titled Snehitudu.
