Written, directed, and produced by South star Kamal Haasan, this is one film where you'd need to apply a lot of brains and keep your emotions under control! The semi-fictional plot of the film shows the tale of Nathuram Godse and how he murdered Mahatma Gandhi. Even though the film saw many protests against it when it released, it still remains to be one of the cult classics of its time.

This Marathi film is perhaps one of the most emotionally draining film you'd ever come across. A villager and his 8-year-old grandson visit the city to get the kid's eye operated for a rare type of cancer which he's suffering from. And the only way to save the kid is to undergo a surgery which would leave him blind. The film follows the duo's journey through this ordeal. Shwaas went on to win the National Award for Best Film, which was a first for a Marathi film in nearly 50 years!

Come on, so who doesn't know about this Aamir Khan starrer! This one not only became the third film to be nominated at the Oscars, but also won hearts all over the country. And in hindsight, this is one film which actually revived Aamir Khan's Bollywood career.
