1. Ijaazat (1987)
This movie is full of electrifying performances by Anuradha Patel and Naseeruddin Shah. Great work of Gulzar sahab. Simple story told in a simple way but still does not lose the magic touch. The songs are simply superb. Must watch. (7.5/10).
2. Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
This movie is the same old movie based on the slums with some intricacies. This movie has been overhyped to a large extent. I have not observed anything special in this movie. All seem to be just ordinary to me. Anyways watchable movie. (7/10)
3. The death of Yugoslavia (1995)
This is a documentary based on the dissolution of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1991 onwards. Must watch series for any person who loves history. One can find shades of Indian problems in the problems of Yugoslavia. (9/10)
4. Beirut to Bosnia (series by Robert Fisk)
Robert Fisk was the 'The Independent' Correspondent of middle east during the Lebanon/Palestine/Israel wars. He also covered the war of Bosnia. Its a good try of Robert Fisk in exploring why Muslims hate the West?. (8/10)

I've similar views regarding Slumdog.Before watching this,one of my friend said it's similar to Salaam Bombay. So I had high expectations to the movie. But after watching the movie, I was really disappointed.
Why is it that only the tragedic and poor & hungry face of India sells outside, while great movies like TZP are left behind ?
