"Filmein sirf teen cheezon ke wajeh se chalti hai:
entertainment, entertainment, entertainment."
Undoubtedly. It's for the sake of entertainment that people flock to the movie theatres and do not even mind standing in long queues to buy their tickets. unperturbed . So throw in some drama, emotions, comedy, action and beautifully picturised song and dance, and the movie comes out a winner.
Movies are often judged by their box-office results: the amount of money they earn. Almost all movies that are good entertainers do well at the box office. But sadly it doesn't hold true the other way round i.e. not all good movies run successfully at the box-office.
There have been several non-mainstream movies that had a strong story line and fiery perfomances by the actors in them, and yet they failed to do good business at the box-office. But just because these movies couldn't rake in the moolah shouldn't be counted as bad movies. Such movies mayn't be money spinners but they strike a chord with the viewers through their storyline and the performances of the actors in them. I have always had a soft corner for such non-mainstream movies, those that have a cast of lesser known but real actors, who actually light up the screen with their performances!
And as per me, the 5 must watch off-beat movies in Hindi are:

This post is a part of the Miss Lovely Activity in association with BlogAdda.
Miss Lovely, an off-beat film directed by Ashim Ahluwalia is set in the lower depths of Bombay’s “C” grade film industry. It follows the devastating story of two brothers who produce sex horror films in the mid – 1980s. A sordid tale of betrayal and doomed love, the film dives into the lower depths of the Bollywood underground, an audacious cinema with baroque cinemascope compositions, lurid art direction, wild background soundtracks, and gut-wrenching melodrama. Miss Lovely is scheduled for commercial release on 17 January 2014.
