Devdas (PG)

This oft-filmed epic following a young nobleman’s downward spiral into alcoholism and vice after his family stop him from marrying the woman he loves, has been justifiably hailed as a classic of modern Bollywood cinema. Shahrukh Khan plays the title role with a brooding, Byronic intensity, but it’s the vibrant colours and opulent sets that are most likely to linger in the memory. A visual feast.
Dir. Sanjay Leela Bhansali 2002 3h 2m

Shahrukh Khan stars as Major Ram Parsad Sharma, an Indian commando who goes undercover at his daughter’s school to foil a terrorist plot aimed at sabotaging an ambitious project to bring an end to the long-standing enmity between India and Pakistan. The debut feature of Farah Khan (Om Shanti Om), Bollywood’s top woman director and the choreographer on Monsoon Wedding is a vibrant cocktail of action, comedy, high-school rite of passage and family drama that barely lets up.
