Here's episode 1 of 5 in a series where we discuss our Intro To Bollywood Films.
Beth picks Paheli (The Riddle) from 2005 and Pitu picks Jab We Met from 2007. Both are romances with author-backed female leads, a feminist message, beautiful scenery and wonderful chemistry between the lead stars, all set to some gorgeous music.
