The old movies that I watched were by far the most satisfying -Aandhi, Gharonda, Koshish, Deewar, Agneepath. Kantara, Pushpa were nice though I could not get myself to watch RRR. Minnal Murali, Gamanam, Oke Oka Jeevitham were nice. Lunana and Anek gave a North Eastern perspective - two well made movies. Bullet Train and Nomad Land were nice too. Top Gun 2 was a lovely throwback moment.

I have been rather indifferent about my choice of movies last year and hope to correct that this year round and watch some of the old classics.

Best movie experience - Deewaar - and watching Anjali's reactions to it!
