Such is the power and endurance of his hauntingly real creations. In a prose that’s as stark and unsentimental as cold meat. Manto’s short stories still work to shake our stricken conscience. This is no time for romantic poetry, for the truth must be told to cleanse the soiled soul. A searing portrayal of an intense writer caught in the madness of India’s partition and the havoc it wreaks on its divided people. What a writer and what a class act by Nawazuddin. Delivering two major hits in a single year in two extremely contrasting genres (thriller and comedy), the everyman and very versatile Ayushmann Khurana turns in one of the strongest performances of 2018. A solid script brought alive brilliantly on screen, Andhadhun seals the deal with spectacular performances. And he does it without resorting to cheap contrivances and manipulation.
#Top 10 hindi movies 2018 how to#
Veteran Sriram Raghavan knows how to keep his viewers engaged. There isn’t a dull or wasted moment in this cleverly crafted and briskly-paced thriller. Here are the best Hindi movies 2018 had to offer (in no particular order): A change has been set into motion, nevertheless, which only opens up possibilities for more filmmakers to look beyond the obvious. I’m not overlooking the fact that two of these were also the biggest polarisers in their respective years. Shahrukh Khan’s quirky, experimental (and like film critic Baradwaj Rangan pointed out, “one of the most audacious love stories of the year”) Zero and his choice of films lately ( Dear Zindagi, Fan) are a case in point. The fact that big stars too are joining the fray is a step ahead. As much as filmmakers who’re becoming more experimental in their choices, credit Netflix and Amazon for making their efforts accessible to a wider audience.
They are readily embracing all kinds of cinema. That viewers appreciated and endorsed the change is a harbinger of good times to come. Story and storytelling were the order of the day. 2018 was a year when quality scripts triumphed over big stars and big-budget films.
