As the countdown has begun, let’s revisit some of the best Junglee Pictures movies before watching Emraan and Yami’s film in theatres.
Dil Dhadakne Do
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Junglee Pictures’ Dil Dhadakne Do was a blockbuster. Starring Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma and Farhan Akhtar, the film was about a rich family. They reunite on a 10-day cruise to celebrate the patriarch and matriarch’s 30th wedding anniversary. However, the cruise vacation changes the equation between the family members.
Talvar
Loosely based on the 2008 Noida double murder case involving a teenage girl and her family's servant, Talvar, directed by Meghna Gulzar, starred Irrfan, Konkona Sen Sharma and Neeraj Kabi. The film followed the investigation of the case from three different perspectives. Talvar unfolded meticulously to reveal whether the victim’s parents were guilty or not.
Bareilly Ki Barfi
Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao’s Bareilly Ki Barfi brought back the era of simpler love stories. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the film followed the story of Bitti, who fell in love with the book written by Pritam Vidrohi. Her desire to meet the author introduced her to Chirag. Life turned haywire for him when a guy named Pritam Vidrohi arrived.
Raazi
Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal’s Raazi received multiple awards and the blockbuster title at the box office. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, it was based on Harinder Sikka’s Calling Sehmat, a novel on the true story of an Indian spy who married into a Pakistani military family before the 1971 Indo-Pak war to provide intelligence to India.
Badhaai Ho
Badhaai Ho, starring Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra, won Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment at the National Film Awards in 2019. Surekha Sikri was honoured with the Best Supporting Actress award. The film helmed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma was a socio-dramedy about a pregnant woman in her 60s.
Badhaai Do
Junglee Pictures raised the bar high once with Badhaai Do. Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Gulshan Devaiah and Chum Darang headlined the movie based on lavender marriage. Rajkummar and Bhumi are forced to marry each other just to keep their sexuality a secret from their families and society.
Inspired by a landmark judgment of the Supreme Court, Haq revisits one of the most controversial and urgent debates of the 1980s, one that remains even relevant now. The film, produced by Junglee Pictures, along with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studio, also stars Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady in pivotal roles.
