While we get to watch new films all the time, the lockdown could be a golden chance to catch up with a few classics like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Maine Pyar Kiya & more across genres. Digital platforms are overflowing with them, and you would literally be spoilt for choice selecting some really enjoyable stuff that has come out of Bollywood over the decades. Twenty-one days, it would seem, is too short a time to catch up with what really defines vintage Bollywood and is available in the OTT libraries.
IANS picks a few old films that you might want to revisit, that will let you relax and bust the stress of lockdown. Of course, this is not a definitive list.
