Nikhil Dwivedi: The movies I loved growing up

The actor lists his pick of flicks....


Nikhil Dwivedi

Satte Pe Satta: Amitabh Bachchan was my childhood hero --- my fave actor. I used to always feel that he looked extremely handsome in this movie. The reason I still have vivid memories of this film!

Amar Akbar Anthony: I found everything just perfect in this movie including the music. It was as if I was watching a case study of what Bollywood films were all about. And of course, there was the Big B in it!

Mili: I was so touched by the film's plot. It was such a sensitive film. Jaya Bhaduri's performance and Amitabh Bachchan's angst in the movie went on to inspire an entire generation.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa: Though I was a grown-up (somewhat) when I watched this film, no film had an impact on me like this one. Shah Rukh Khan's performance was inspirational, natural and completely unadulterated by the need to play to the galleries.

The Shawshank Redemption: I found this Morgan Freeman-Tim Robbins starrer to be truly brilliant. It is about two prisoners who bond and find solace in each other.
