Love and earthy charm

Anita Rodrigues

She loves watching love stories. She also likes movies which has a realistic touch in it.

Here are some movies she has definitely loved seeing.

LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS

Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone or anything tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie's and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. 

Anita likes this movie as it is a love story of course. She feels the movie is realistic. She also feels that there is great understanding between the couple.

CITY LIGHTS

She liked this film as she felt it portrayed the truth about how people suffer when they move to cities from villages and the film did not have much songs.

A hard, unrelenting film that doesn’t give in to over-sentimentality, Citylights is like the city of Mumbai -- it beats you down and when you are broken, takes you in its arms and loves you. 

When a farmer Deepak , along with his family, is forced to abandon his village in search of a living in a city, little is he aware of what life has in store. Circumstances not withstanding, there’s hope. Hope of a better life. Of better days ahead. His guilelessness robs him off whatever little savings he comes with to the city, rendering him helpless, with three mouths to feed and no roof above their head.
