Cinema is always a beautiful experience. Some days back, I was watching Waqt (Balraj Sahni, Raj Kumar, Sunil Dutt and Shashi Kapoor starrer) for the nth time. The court scene was going on Sunil Dutt was in full flow. Even after watching the scene so many times, I was unable to resist the temptation to rewind and have another look. So dramatic and so passionate. There was a fire in his performance that almost overshadowed Raj Kumar demeanor. And the way family united in last 5-6 minutes was something that cannot happen anywhere but the presentation is so convincing that you can ignore materialistic truth that fate is never so generous. In my opinion, Waqt is one of the three torch-holders of Indian Cinema with Sholay and DDLJ.
Somebody said to us that keep experimenting and here we are… bringing out our next ambitious task – TRM List Of Greatest Hindi Movies. In coming edition we will bring out a big list and you can be a part of the mission to select Top 50 movies out of that list. I hope you have a lot to say… so please keep saying…
Love...

i hope we will do it the proper way. your suggestions and feedback awaited
@Sujoy: So,you want to say that Bollywood=Indian cinema.i beg to differ with you on this.The 'torch-holders' of Indian cinema are not only popular Hindi movies like Sholay and DDL(as you have pointed) but also films like Apu trilogy,Nayakan and Ajantrik.
even i partly do agree with you... but popular cinema will always have an edge over parallel/regional cinema... i.e. greater acceptance.
