Dil Chahta Hai is a movie we all love. The movie is set in modern-day urban Mumbai and Sydney and focuses on a major period of transition in the lives of three young friends. The film even won a National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.



2. Lakshya (2004)
This Indian war drama starred Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles. Lakshya is the story of Karan Shergill, an aimless young man who turned into an army officer. It is a fun-filled movie with lots of emotions.


3. Don (2006)
