Perfect Snacks To Pair With The 14 Bollywood Movies We're Loving Right Now
Popcorn And Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan
A satirical take on same-sex love, this Ayushmann Khurrana-starer is a breath of fresh air to the movie celebrate same-sex love while also throwing in education and awareness through quirky one-liners and moments. In fact, the antics of the gay couple, played by Ayushmann Khurrana and Jeetendra Kumar, are never used as a comic element, but instead, the antics of the parents and the society are used. Props to Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta who've done a brilliant job of portraying a small middle-class family coming in terms with their son's sexuality.

Qarib Qarib Single
One of our favourite Irrfan Khan movies after The Lunchbox, it's such a wholesome, feel-good movie. Starring Parvathy, you'll instantly fall in love with the story and the characters portrayed -- Jaya, the workaholic with zero social life and Yogi, someone who loves living in the moment. Oh, and the film takes place in Mumbai, Dehradun, Jaipur and Gangtok -- so major wanderlust vibes too!

Thappad
A more recent movie, this Taapsee Pannu-starrer is a social drama that centres around marriage and the roles of a husband and wife. The entire story revolves around the movie's title and domestic violence. It's a gripping story and apart from Taapsee's character, it's her husband's Vikram's, played by a brilliant Pavail Gulati, character that keeps the movie equally gripping.
What Are We Eating: Khakra Chips from Sattviko.
Where To Watch It: Amazon Prime Video
Gulabo Sitabo
One of the first big movies to go straight to OTT, this Amitabh Bachchan-Ayushmann Khurrana movie directed by Shoojit Sarcar, is a delight to watch. The banter between the two lead characters is well scripted and natural, but to us, who steals the show is the Begum, played by a wonderful Farrukh Jaffar. It's a slightly long-drawn movie, but it's a really good family entertainer. Also, special shoutout to the soundtrack and music.

Axone
An independent movie that recently released on Netflix in June, Axone is a movie that centres around the theme of food connecting people. Axone or akhuni is a strong-smelling pork dish that the characters are trying to cook secretly without their neighbours knowing. The characters all migrants from North East are living in a typical Delhi neighbourhood and through the central theme, you get a good hard look at all the stereotypes, the racial bias, and personal stories of migrants. Starring Sayani Gupta of Four More Shots Please! fame and Vinay Pathak & Dolly Ahluwalia in pivotal cameo roles, it's a movie worth watching.

Gangs Of Waseypur Part 1 & 2
On review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes this crime movie directed by Anurag Kashyap holds a 96 per cent approval rating. To us, Gangs Of Waseypur is one of the best gangster films we've seen ever seen -- Hollywood including. Anyone who's seen the movie will rave about Manoj Vajpai's Sardar Khan character and the ensemble cast featuring everyone from Nawazuddin Siddiqui to Huma Qureshi. The five-and-a-half-hour movie is the perfect binge-fest for the weekend.
What Are We Eating: Chakli, Chana Jor And Matth Chips from Baska Foods. If you want these nimkis and more such 90s snacks that were just yumm, try these!

Mission Mangal
Mission Mangal is loosely (don't forget) based on the events and lives of ISRO space scientists who made India's first interplanetary expedition Mars Orbiter Mission a success. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, and Vikram Gokhale, watch it for its inspiring storyline and rather compelling acting by Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan. Also, if you are watching it for the first time, you'll see that rocket science is quite easy thanks to the movie making it simple through various cricket and street food references.

Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota
You'll laugh your head off in this action comedy film about a man who literally feels no pain owing to a condition called congenital insensitivity to pain. It's got a great cast featuring debutant Abhimanyu Dassani who plays the lead Mard and what you'll love is how well the action sequences are done with a touch of comedic elements (those slow-mo moves are both wow and hilarious). Plus, Gulshan Devaiah as Karate Mani and Jimmy is too funny!
What Are We Eating: Almond Biscotti From Hey Grain
Where To Watch: Netflix
Chhichhore
One of the late Sushant Singh Rajput's finest movies, Chhichhore is that movie one needs to watch (if you haven't already), for that nostalgia feels -- you know carefree college days and all that nonsense you did to make hostel life fun and enjoyable with your friends. It's high on the fun and emotional elements, and both Sushant's and Shraddha Kapoor's acting as Annirudh and Maya respectively are on point. Special props to Varun Sharma and Naveen Polishetty for adding the fun element with the former as Sexa stealing the show.

Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi
Revolving around the theme of mourning after death, this cinematic classic was a satirical as well as a dark jibe at how bleak a family gets, living under the same roof whilst the sons and their little families mourn their father's demise for 13 days. Gossiping, jeering wives and shallow money minded sons, not to forget the concupiscent teenagers, will make for an emotional and hilarious joyride. You will laugh, hope you don't cry but most of all, you will enjoy the movie as it sparks thoughts of how society could better function.
What Are We Eating: Mexican Salsa Flavoured Chickpeas from Snack Aart
Where To Watch: Netflix
Pagglait
If we were to say Sanya Malhotra has nailed her role, we wouldn't be able to do justice to the cinematic brilliance on display. A hard-hitting movie about how a young widow is unable to grieve her husband's untimely demise. As this situation leaves the mourning family members of both sides rather bewildered. As the movie progresses, new dynamics in their relationship unravel themselves and one finds the ending rather fitting.
What Are We Eating: Freeze Dried Crunchy Fruit Snack From Frubites

The Big Bull
Been scammed by your friends who forced you into watching movies that were rather obnoxious? Well here's a great suggestion. The Big Bull is a financial thriller that has a lot of scams(interesting ones) and is based on real events, most notably that of Harshad Mehta, craftily portrayed by Abhishek Bachchan. While the nitty-gritties of the plot will have you calculating, there is a detailed insight into the share market and how easy it was to fudge an entire system through loopholes. Gripping, yes? Interesting, yes.

State Of Siege: Temple Attack
Based on the events surrounding the Akshardham Temple Attack, this movie is an ode of remembrance to the brave NSG Commandos who valiantly ended the siege. There's betrayal, loyalty, love and heartbreak as the movie attempts to depict the events of the fateful two days. On one hand is the braveheart and malleable Akshay Khanna in the role of a major and on the other are brittle and highly volatile millitants who wreak havoc in the temple premises. Enjoy the action-packed movie with family as you yet again wish for a world devoid of violence.
What Are We Eating: Blueberry and Litchi Popcorn from Popcorn & Co. If you please to not be as daring as the NSG commandos in this movie, you can go for their Garlic Cheese Flavour.
