Diwali is here, and no, it is not absolutely necessary to have big plans. You can be at home, watch a movie, talk to friends, do absolutely nothing and still have a fun Diwali. This festive season, let Bollywood be your guide and help you navigate the festive days with fun and joy.
From celebrating self-love to embracing friendships and cherishing family bonds, these Hindi films capture the essence of belonging in their own unique ways. So grab some snacks, light a few diyas, and let the magic of cinema brighten up your Diwali.
If you’re spending Diwali away from home and feeling the pinch of solitude, ‘Queen’ is your perfect pick. The film is a perfect example of how to turn around a bad day or a trip into a wonderful experience. Kangana as Rani is brilliant as she creates her own happiness on her solo honeymoon. Why did she go alone, though? You have to watch the film to unravel that mystery!
Every family has its ups and downs, and Shakun Batra’s ‘Kapoor & Sons’ captures that beautifully. Starring Alia Bhatt, Fawad Khan, and Sidharth Malhotra, the film is all about family chaos, love and forgiving loved ones. If you’re missing home this Diwali, this movie will remind you that family bonds are messy but wonderful.
Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, and Anil Kapoor-starrer ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ is the perfect example of a family drama. Be it the brother-sister bond, the cute fights or the ugly ones, this film is one hell of a ride.
If you’re longing for that big, loud family vibe this Diwali, this film offers all the laughter and chaos without leaving you feeling homesick.
Diwali is about more than just family; it's also about friends who become like family. Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, and Hrithik Roshan's 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', is the best celebration of friendship. The film serves as a reminder that true friendships can be untouched by time.
Nothing compares to the comfort of reliving a Bollywood classic at times. Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' is an emotion rather than merely a film. It is a movie that can immediately take you back to the comforts of home with its lavish family reunions. If you're missing your family on Diwali, this film will make you smile and feel nostalgic.
Whether you’re alone this Diwali or simply seeking comfort, these Bollywood films can be your companions through the festivities. Which is your favourite?
