Rangeela films to watch this Holi

For most of us Holi is all about colours, naach, gaanaaurkhaana. But then, if you are really tired of attending the same old parties and try to avoid being hit by those coloured-water balloons, fear not. You can customize your Holi and make it equally special by watching movies that celebrate various hues of life, over a tub of homemade popcorn and mocktails.CT gives you a list of films that you must watch.
READ: Rani Mukerji talks about her married life
Black (2005) Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starring Rani Mukerji and Amitabh Bachchan, the film revolves around a blind, mute and deaf girl, Michelle. The story — inspired by Helen Keller’s life and struggle — focuses on Michelle’s relationship with her eccentric teacher, who himself falls prey to Alzheimer’s later.
Lal Baadshah (1999) Lal Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) lives with his mother (Nirupa Roy) in a small Mumbai slum. Fondly called Lal Baadshah by the people, Lal is dead set against crime. A Bollywood masala flick, directed by KC Bokadia, it was Bachchan’s third film since his comeback after a five-year hiatus. Though it failed at the box office, it was a hit in the cowbelt areas of UP and Bihar. The forgettable flick can be best remembered for Amitabh dancing in a bright red suit with the much-younger Shilpa Shetty. The movie also stars Manisha Koirala.
The Green Mile (1999) A fantasy drama, the film is directed by Frank Darabont and is adapted from the 1996 Stephen King novel by the same name. Told in a flashback format, the movie stars Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb. The story is about Paul’s life as a death row corrections officer during the Great Depression in the US and the supernatural occurrences he witnessed.
The Blue Lagoon (1980) A romantic-adventure, directed by Randal Kleiser, the film revolves around two young kids marooned on a tropical island in the south Pacific. With no adults to guide them, the two make a simple life together — eventually reaching puberty and falling in love.
A Clockwork Orange (1971) It is a crime drama, based on Anthony Burgess’s 1962 novella by the same name. Adapted, produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, the film presents some violent and disturbing images as a comment on psychiatry, juvenile delinquency and other social, political and economic issues in a dystopian near-future Britain.
