magical musicals
perfectly nuanced and a treat for the eyes. you watch a man plot the course of his own ruin, as the world tries to stop him.
Devdas
not for the faint of heart. rambunctious, raw, and all too real to those who have once fallen prey to the predatory power of love. i am a massive Deepika Padukone fan, and her portrayal of a bold and beautiful South Asian Juliet had me SAT!
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela
tests the boundaries of what a person can and would do for the one they love.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
a personal comfort movie. the music will stay with you for years to come.
Chennai Express
a thrilling and suspenseful film that keeps its audience guessing until the very end. if you enjoy a good mystery with a twist, you'll love this.
Andhadhun
Romance
this was the first Cate Blanchett movie i'd ever watched. i've been a massive fan ever since. a beautifully crafted film that tells the story of forbidden lovers in a society that seeks to oppress and criticise.
Watch Carol
“you're a wanker no. 9!” this movie feels like a warm hug on christmas morning. funny, witty, and heartfelt.
Watch Imagine Me & You | Prime Video
i expected this to be a silly, cheesy, chick-flick, but i was pleasantly surprised. you'll find yourself in tears towards the end.
Mona Lisa Smile
a feel-good romcom, that also addresses the varied treatment of those in different social classes, and how you can overcome all social barriers for love.
Watch Pretty Woman
a light-hearted, hilarious take on the evergreen “fake relationship” trope. it'll leave you in splits.
Watch The Proposal
Comedy
laugh your heart out
over-the-top humor with tastefully inserted satire on racial politics and stereotypes. it's certainly stood the test of time.

two horribly mismatched police officer must learn to work together despite their differences. what ensues is a journey of comedy and crime.
The Heat
a lifelong friendship is put to the test when childhood besties Liv and Emma realise they'll have to fight it out to have their dream wedding. i love Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, so this is another comfort movie of mine!
Bride Wars
i know people won't typically list this as a comedy, but the entire franchise just has this thinly-veiled humor hidden behind monsters, magic, and one very special rum-powered pirate captain.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
two middle-aged, unemployed men in the midst of a mid-life crisis, now have to navigate the slippery road of brotherhood, when their parents fall in love and decide to get hitched.
