6 best Netflix movies which are pure GOLD for every introvert

Oct 3, 2024 · 10:23 PM Blog

Being an introvert is often misunderstood as being boring and uninteresting. Such people tend to be ignored or cared less amongst people who are relatively gregarious and expressive. It is their silence that speaks of their wise and thoughtful nature. If you’re also an introvert, here are some of the top picks of Bollywood movies that you can watch on Netflix.

Opposed to popular standing in society, our Bollywood cinematic geniuses have presented some of the beautiful stories from the perspective of an introvert. It is through the directorial lens of these films, that we get to see a larger picture of an introvert’s life, making us all fall in love with them.

6 movies on Netflix that every introvert would enjoy watching

1. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Naina)

Ayan Mukerji’s directorial Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was released in 2013. Headlined by Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Kalki Koechlin, this is one of the most loved coming-of-age films ever made in Bollywood. Over the years, the relatable storyline has resonated with the youngsters. The movie narrates the story of four friends who embark on a trip to Manali and experience the time of their lives.

While the characters of Bunny (Ranbir), Aditi (Kalki), and Avi (Aditya) were way too expressive and chilled out, it was Deepika’s Naina who was truly an introvert. She struggled to be like others, but it is during the course of the story we see a different side to her which is equally beautiful.

2. Karthik Calling Karthik (Karthik)

The next one on the list is Vijay Lalwani’s Karthik Calling Karthik, released in 2010. Is nostalgia already hitting you hard? The movie featuring Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone needs to be talked about more than it usually is. It is a thriller romantic story that features an introverted Karthik(Farhan) who is often been bullied and has experienced several setbacks.

His life changes only one day when he receives a phone call from a stranger who promises to change him and his personality in the best of his interest. It is only in the climax of the story that we realize the most unexpected twist that waits for the cinephiles. Nevertheless, it is one of the best films that have been made from an introvert’s perspective.

3. Qala

The 2022 released Qala is directed by Anvita Dutt Guptan. Another masterpiece that truly deserves your attention stars Triptii Dimri in the titular role along with Babil Khan, Swastika Mukherjee, and more in key roles. The musical thriller is the story of a talented singer, Qala who wishes to become a great singer, mostly to win her mother Urmila’s (Swastika) validation. To do that, Qala tries her best, but at times hard work can overpower talent.

That’s how her mother finds Jagan (Babil) out of nowhere and supports him throughout in uplifting his career. She advises her daughter to get married, stating a girl’s place is to be with her husband. This leads to an emotional turmoil and angst-filled in her heart that comes out most perilously.

4. Tamasha (Ved)

Next one on the list has to be Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha headlined by Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. As we know Imtiaz’s obsession with making multi-layered characters, in this one also we get to see Ved’s (Ranbir) both introverted and extroverted sides. Though he has the time of his life with Tara (Deepika) in Corsica, in between we also get to see him suppressing his inner self because of the professional path he chose for himself.

5. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (Jai)

Abbas Tyrewala’s Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was released in 2008. Led by Imran Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, this is another cinematic brilliance that has been aging like a fine wine. The movie narrates the story of two best friends, Jai and Aditi (Imran and Genelia) who never realize their feelings for each other up until they find lovers for each other.

While Aditi was a social butterfly, Jai was calm, mature and wise in that sense. Though he could express himself and had friends, he would avoid indulging in fights, it is the climax of this rom-com, we get to see the opposite side of his personality making it the most iconic moment of the film.

6. Barreily Ki Barfi (Pritam Vidrohi)

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon starrer Barreily Ki Barfi released in 2017 is truly a beautiful piece of film. The quirky romantic comedy unfolds when Bitti Mishra(Kriti), an outspoken woman from Bareilly, stumbles upon a book titled Bareilly Ki Barfi. She realizes that the protagonist of the book is herself. Bitti decides to find the author Pritam Vidrohi(Rajkummar), believing that he likes her the way she is.

While we see Chirag (Ayushmann) as a smart and manipulative person, Pritam Vidrohi is an innocent salesman who gets persuaded by Chirag. It is only, after a certain point, we get to see him giving it back to his bullies by taking the most important thing away from their lives. Despite it being a part of his plan, one enjoys Raj’s character in the film.

Which one of these is your favorite movie, do let us know in the comments section.

EXCLUSIVE: Indian Film Exhibitors get candid about the Diwali 2024 clash between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again

Oct 3, 2024 · 10:23 PM Blog

The tension between the Diwali 2024 releases Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again is increasing with every passing day. Despite multiple discussions between film producers of both movies, a consensus has not been reached and both the big franchise films will clash with one another on the 1st of November. Indian exhibitors Vishek Chauhan, Akshaye Rathi, Daggubati Suresh Babu, Satadeep Saha and Ashutosh Agarwal, in an exclusive Pinkvilla interaction at Cine Expo 2024, discussed about clashes in general and the big Diwali 2024 clash between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again.

Film Exhibitor Satadeep Saha Finds It Painful When There Are Lack Of Movies In Certain Weeks Throughout The Year

In the exclusive Pinkvilla interaction at Cine Expo 2024, the exhibitors were asked to critique on the release planning by Hindi film producers this year. They were also asked to give their view on the big Diwali 2024 clash between Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Film exhibitor Satadeep Saha, who is the CEO of SSR Cinemas and the owner of a bunch of other cinemas in West Bengal said, “As an exhibitor, we don’t need any clashes throughout the year; Because we need one movie at a time. There are lots of weeks where there are no movies. Those weeks are very painful for us to sustain. One could have come during the Dussehra period and it could have been easy for us. And one could have easily come during Diwali”.

Mr Daggubati Suresh Babu Feels That Clashes Are Not As Bad As They Are Made To Look

Mr Daggubati Suresh Babu, who is not just an exhibitor but also a renowned movie producer and presenter from Andhra Pradesh, was in support of films clashing at the box office. Explaining his stance, he said, “In Andhra, we don’t mind clashes. What happens during clashes is that discussion about cinema is much more. So people talk about cinema. So we need to make it the topic in the south. We don’t have mindspace of people. Pongal time Ajith is fighting Vijay; NTR, Balakrishna, Venkatesh. ‘Who’s going to come. This theatre is available. That theatre is not available’. So everybody’s mind is about films. It will become front page news. We have to be on the minds of the people. Doesn’t matter. We have seen both films run well. There can be minor damage here and there. If you are able to make cinema the conversation piece, it’s very good”. He concluded by saying that the reason Telugu stars have a bigger fanbase is because of their level of involvement in the matters affecting the film.

Film Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi Feels That Clashes Of Wide Appealing Films Like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 And Singham Again Can Be Fatal

Mr Akshaye Rathi, who is a leading exhibitor and distributor in Central Indian states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, shared a unique view on clashes. He said, “The first thing is that both Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again are absolute mass entertainers which can cannabilise into each other’s business. Ideal scenario for a clash is like what happened between Welcome and Taare Zameen Par, or Animal and Sam Bahadur, Or Gadar 2 and OMG 2. These are two films that cater to very different audience bases and both can co-exist fabulously with eachother and can bring a diverse audience simultaneously”.

He continued, “The second thing that needs to happen is that even if there are clashes of two tentpoles happening, it’s a very unhealthy practise that almost till one night before the release, there’s haggling of showcasing that is happening with distributors and exhibitors. For many of these tentpoles, you can’t open bookings even till one night before the release. The unfortunate thing is, God forbid, if there are zero advances and the movie turns out the be underwhelming, all the potential business that could have happened with the hype and advance bookings is lost out”. “So in these scenarios, no one is benefited”, he concluded.

Exhibitor Vishek Chauhan Explains How The Diwali 2024 Clash Is Not As Beneficial As A Clash Between A Gadar 2 And An OMG 2

Exhibitor Vishek Chauhan, who runs a single screen that goes by the name of Roopbani in Purnea, talked about how two films with different audiences can help in counterprogramming. He said, “If both films are chalk and cheese, it works well. It works in the film’s favour because you have different set of audience playing with that”.

Explaining the problem with Diwali releases, he said, “Problem with the Diwali releases is that both are so wide and both are such amazing franchises that as an exhibitor, I have gotten greedy. And I don’t want them to compromise. If either of the two films doesn’t work out, we are going to lose out on a franchise and it is not good for the industry. Bhool Bhulaiyaa today is a huge franchise and The Cop Universe just exploded in Diwali (in the Pandemic). It (Sooryavanshi) did about 200 crore with 50 percent screens. It kind of revived the Hindi industry that had lost hope”. At last, being the optimist that he is, Mr Vishek Chauhan wished that the producers of both films reach a consensus. He candidly talked about the problems that exhibitors face because of clashes, ranging from losing of the customer to not realising the full potential of a film. Not to forget, the stress that comes with the delayed advances and the allotment of shows.

What is your view on the Diwali 2024 clash? Who will emerge victorious? Do let us know.
