‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’

The film 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' imparts a pivotal message—live life to the fullest without regrets. It unfolds the adventures of three friends—Kabir (played by Abhay Deol), Imraan (played by Farhan Akhtar), and Arjun (played by Hrithik Roshan)—as they embark on a journey to Spain to celebrate Kabir's bachelor party. Throughout the trip, Arjun undergoes a transformative realisation, recognising that the essential element missing in his life is the appreciation of every moment and gratitude for what he possesses.

‘Guru’

This bollywood drama, featuring Mithun Chakraborty, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Madhavan, and Vidya Balan in pivotal roles, draws loose inspiration from the life of Dhirubhai Ambani. Gurukant Desai, a simpleton from a Gujarat village, embarks on a journey to fulfil his dream of establishing a business.

The narrative traces his ascent to prosperity, from being a salesman in Turkey to becoming a textile magnate in Mumbai. Along the way, Gurukant resorts to bribing politicians, evading taxes, and smuggling machinery to secure his success. The latter part of the story introduces a conflict between capitalism and communism, with a righteous newspaper owner determined to expose corporate crime. At the 53rd Filmfare Awards, Guru received nominations in 15 categories and won five accolades.

‘The Social Network’

Director David Fincher's The Social Network illuminates the inception of Facebook and the narrative surrounding its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. Adapted for the silver screen from Ben Mezrich's non-fiction book, The Accidental Billionaires, the film unfolds as part boardroom drama and part conspiracy thriller. The plot revolves around Harvard mathematics prodigy Eduardo Saverin (portrayed by Andrew Garfield), who invested USD 1,000 of his own money alongside Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) for the creation of Facebook. The movie portrays the platform's ascent to popularity and the ensuing legal disputes involving IT academics, tech enthusiasts, and corporate figures. The iconic line, "A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars," remains one of the film's most memorable dialogues. Available for streaming on Netflix.

‘Steve Jobs’

The biopic delves into 14 years (1984-1998) of the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs. Unfolding as a theatrical three-act structure, the plot beautifully navigates the paradox of a man intensely passionate about his work yet coldly dismissive of those closest to him.

It takes viewers behind the scenes of three iconic product launches—the original Apple Macintosh in 1984, the cuboid NeXT Computer in 1988, and the stylish iMac in 1998. Kate Winslet portrays Joanna Hoffman, Apple and NeXT marketing executive, and Jobs' confidant. Adapted from Walter Isaacson's 2011 biography, the movie incorporates interviews conducted by its writer, Aaron Sorkin.

‘The Founder’

In 'The Founder,' Ray Kroc, portrayed by Michael Keaton, starts as a struggling milk-shake-mixer salesman. In the 1950s, he becomes the mastermind behind the nationwide franchising of a local Californian hamburger restaurant. This establishment had ingeniously devised a system to grill, assemble, and serve a hamburger within just 30 seconds. Through his astuteness and dynamism, Ray eventually takes control of the business, originally crafted by its founders, the fast-food pioneers Dick and Mac McDonald. While the story doesn't excuse Ray's complete disregard for work ethics, it highlights his vision, innovation, marketing tactics, and significant role in shaping the McDonald's empire. The biopic's irony is encapsulated in its title.
