Birthday Special: Top 7 Movies by Imtiaz Ali!

Talk about modern, urban romances and fresh storylines, Imtiaz Ali is going to top the list of directors in the genre. He offered a whole new take on relationships and introduced characters so real and convincing that we fell in love with them each time we watched his films!

Also, who can deny the fact that his films give us true travel goals?

On his birthday, today, let's trace back to some of the best films he has given to Bollywood:

Socha Na Tha..

This movie was Imtiaz's directorial debut and a light hearted comedy! Socha Na Tha..  brought a fresh perspective on romance and friendship in Bollywood, much similar to Qayamat se Qayamat Tak and Dil Chahta Hai. If you haven't watched it yet, watch it for the maverick's first outing!

Rockstar

Some may argue that pain as a catalyst may seem to be an idea, quite far-fetched. But Imtiaz hit all the right notes with a rather unconventional presentation of a very common love story. Pair it up with music by the musical maestro A R Rahman and the movie turned out to be a blissful journey to watch!

Cocktail

The urban and exotic locales added a mesmerizing charm to the movie's storyline. Although there isn't much narrative to move you or sway you in emotions with the characters, the movie still holds credibility in terms of humour and a fresh look out on 'no strings attached relationships'.

Love Aaj Kal

This movie is all kinds of magic in terms of emotions. Set in London, Love Aaj Kal talks about modern rules of courtship based on practicality versus the traditional way. All in all, the movie was not great but not bad either and came across as an average romantic movie, suitable for a date!

Highway

Highway gave a whole new meaning to how travelling as an escape could be life changing and beautiful. Highway scores over most 'convenient' pseudo self-discovery movies and till date remain one of the best movies by Imtiaz Ali!

Jab We Met

Imtiaz Ali has the power to make movies that have been seen before numerous times and yet make it look fresh. Jab We Met is a power packed film with action, romance, music, humour, drama and travel!

Tamasha

The latest offering from Imtiaz, Tamasha, is essentially a film about endless possibilities of life. The movie, like most other Imtiaz Ali movies makes us want to seize the moment instead of continuing to live a life that others chose for us!
