Nozomi's Favorites 2007

Here's a review of my favorite Bollywood films so far. My favorite Bollywood films usually deal with working through the problems of marriage to find stronger love. I also like films that deal with the religious and political conflicts in South Asia. I watch Bollywood films mostly for the music and the picturizations, but I fall in love with the ones that also have a heart-wrenching plot. 99% of the movies I've seen so far are made after 2000.

Nozomi's Favorite Bollywood Films (2007):
1. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
2. Vivah (Though it's not a classic, it was the first time I met a classic Bollywood storyline. I love Shahid, the music, and the cute story)
3. Rang De Basanti
4. Fanaa
5. Salaam Namaste

Other favorites: Jab We Met, Saathyia, Kal Ho Na Ho

Films I'm Looking Forward To:
