The Gujarati web series Cutting released on Oho Gujarati recently. OTTplay had gotten in touch with the cast and crew of the show and asked them to name a few shows or movies that they could go back to and watch anytime.

Mayur Chauhan, who played the lead role of Bobby in the series and Hemang Shah, who played his brother Sunny, were among the few who answered the question. The others were Archan Trivedi, Nisarg Trivedi, Revant Sarabhai and director Pratik Kothari.

Here are the movies and shows they recommend:

Pratik:

Friends

An obvious choice, Friends has been a series that is loved by people from all across. It has received immense appreciation especially in India and often tops the list on Netflix India.

Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times

A unique choice, but then again, it is Charlie Chaplin. In case you have not seen any of the comedian’s movies yet, this is a good one to begin with.

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar

The Aamir Khan-Ayesha Jhulka starrer is undoubtedly a film which inspires you. The coming-of-age sports drama is something that has received love from many people over the years.

Dulhe Raja

If you are looking for entertainment, then Dulhe Raja, starring Govinda and Raveena Tandon in the lead roles, should be your pick. The film is one of the most-loved Govinda movies and was a hit because of the duo’s chemistry. The song ‘Akhiyon Se Goli Maare’ is also a part of the movie.

Rajkumar Hirani films (3 Idiots or Munnabhai series)

Rajkumar Hirani is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after filmmakers thanks to his previous works. Whether it is Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots or Sanjay Dutt’s Munnabhai series, the Rajkumar Hirani touch always appeals to the viewers.

Mayur:

Game Of Thrones

A classic war, fantasy-drama series, Game Of Thrones has been a rage ever since it first released in 2011. The Starks vs The Lannisters was something that kept people intrigued throughout the series.

MCU films

Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has most definitely been a franchise that has fans from all across. The proof of it is in Avengers: The Endgame being one the highest-grossing films of all time.

Andaz Apna Apna

Hemang:

Friends

Black Friday

Anurag Kashyap’s Black Friday is one of his most underrated works till date. The film, which starred Nawazuddin Siddiqui in a brief role, deserves much more love than it received when it was released in theatres.

Om Shanti Om

If you are looking for a film that has romance, drama, action and suspense, then Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om, which launched Deepika Padukone as an actress, is the film for you. The movie starred Shah Rukh Khan and Arjun Rampal in the lead roles too.
