Samskara (Kannada, 1970)

Adoor Gopalakrishnan said, 'Samskara marks a departure from traditional South Indian cinema' and his words couldn’t have been more true ‘cause this film is certainly a path-breaker challenging the established customs & rituals. No wonder it was initially banned by the censor board but it is heartening to see that the film was allowed to come out in 1970 & it won the Golden Lotus (Swarna Kamal) Award for that year from India. Deserved would be an understatement.

Run All Night (English, 2015)

When do you really know an action film has worked overall - when its flaws are beaten down like the bad guys in the movie!!! That’s exactly what you can expect out of Run All Night.
