6. HAIDER

Shahid Kapoor in 'Haider'

Vishal Bhardwaj's movies are always different from the lot and has its own following.  Without going into the debate of whether Haider is a correct adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet or whether it captures the actual story of the army's role in Kashmir, Haider stands out for its splendid performances, soulful music, cinematography and direction.

7. Bey Yaar

Poster of gujarati movie 'Bey Yaar'

One always co-relates Gujarati films with garbas, dandiyas and village backdrop.  But films like Bey Yaar dismantles these beliefs.  After a promising start with his first movie, Kevi Rite Jaish,  director Abhishek Jain comes back with an even stronger Gujarati entertainer in Bey Yaar.  Featuring performances, songs, music comparable to a good bollywood movie, Bey Yaar is story about two friends who put their morals at stake to earn a quick buck.  The fast pace movie (especially in the second half) keeps you glued to your seat till the end.  It is heartening to know that Gujarati film industry has evolved from its past and it needs more directors like Abhishek.

8. Metro Manila

Still from 'Metro Manila'

Filipino movie which got rave reviews globally, Metro Manila is about a poor family seeking brighter future in the megacity Manila and the plights they face fulfilling their dreams.  This can fit any other stereo type Bollywood movies but what set it apart is its execution.

9. The Grand Budapest Hotel

A still from 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'

Wes Anderson's movies are always different from the rest and same goes for The Grand Budapest Hotel.  On the backdrop of superb sound track,  characters from the movie leave their impression on the viewers.  Add Wes Anderson's direction and screenplay, this movie is a joy to watch.
