The
soul
of
Guddi
is
evident
in
the
Jaya
Bachchan's
performance
as
Suman
in
Madan
Bavaria's
short
film,
where
she
plays
a
young
girl
who
comes
of
age
opposite
the
iconic
Bollywood
villain,
Danny
Denzongpa.
Smita
Patil's
enigmatic
smoldering
presence
that
would
cast
its
spell
over
audiences
is
evident
in
her
performance
in
Arun
Khopkar's
Teevra
madhyam.
Ketan
Mehta
(director
of
Mangal
Pandey,
Mirch
Masala)
and
Saeed
Mirza
(director
of
Naseem,
Nukkad
TV
series)
also
make
rare
screen
appearances
in
the
film.
'Teevra
Madhyam'
is
also
noteworthy
for
a
rare
and
one
of
a
kind
event
-
the
only
film
for
which
the
legendary
singer
Kumar
Gandharva
has
lent
his
voice.
Girish
Kasaravalli's
Awashesh
gives
us
the
glimpse
of
the
genius
that
would
make
Gharashrada,
counted
among
the
100
best
feature
films
in
the
world.
The
madness
of
Jaane
Bhi
Do
Yaaron
that
made
it
an
evergreen
comedy
is
palpable
in
Kundan
Shah's
debut
Bonga,
which
has
delightful
performances
by
Satish
Shah,
Rakesh
Bedi
and
Suresh
Oberoi.
Rajkumar
Hirani
(Munnabhai
MBBS,
Lage
Raho
Munnabhai)
began
his
prowess
as
an
editor
and
his
fine
touch
is
unmistakable
in
Sriram
Raghavan's
The
Eight
column
Affair,
an
original
zany
love
story
set
in
a
newspaper!
And
of
course,
the
star
of
the
collection
of
films
is
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra's
Murder
at
Monkey
Hill.
Rajat
Kapoor,
well
know
actor
(Dil
Chahta
Hai,

Wedding),
directorial
flair
for
the
