Mili

Bollywood's first couple -- superstar Amitabh Bachchan and the beloved Jaya Bhaduri -- grace the screen in this sensitively acted, absorbing character drama about how love can soothe the angriest of hearts. A wounded and bitter soul, Shekhar (Bachchan) keeps to himself, alienating his neighbors, till his acquaintance with the bright-eyed and spirited Mili (Bhaduri) helps him come out of his shell. Their bond outgrows friendship, skirting the borders of romance, but Shekhar's dreams of marrying Mili are shattered when he learns she is on borrowed time, and that she'll need his newfound strength and devotion to see her through the painful days ahead.
