Gulshan Grover and Harsh Mayar in I Am Kalam (2010)

My goal here is to focus on Indian Cinema and what goes beyond the norm (music and dance) and here I wanted to list films that focus on the daily struggle and the lifestyle of humans. Here through directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Girish Kasaravalli,Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, Aparna Sen, Rituparno Ghosh, Jahnu Barua,and Goutam Ghosh. Even todays prodigies like Deepa Mehta, Mira Nair,Anurag Kashyap, Vishal Bhardwaj, Srijit Mukherjee, Suman Mukhopadhyay, Dr. Biju, and Bala. And Actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur, Nandita Das, Rahul Bose, Konkona Sen Sharma, Manoj Bajpai, Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and many many more. Though I am not an Indian my goal is to understand Indian cinema a bit more through language (Hindi, English, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati, Oriya, and many more), Art, and Culture from India to the diaspora (Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the US). If you have any recommendations for any film comment below. Rate and Comment please on any film and also a saying "If there's no struggle, no progress" Thank You P.S: I would like to see a rating for films like Investment, The Bastard Child (more will come) And Happy New Years and support the LGBT community
