8 Must-Watch Movies on New Year Eve

1. Dear Zindagi (2016)

It brings home that confusion, vulnerability, and imperfection are okay. Dear Zindagi does not take away your emotional healing and self-awareness to choose yourself, sans guilt.

2. Queen (2014)

Very few films capture the theme of self-discovery as Queen does. Rani's solo journey is about finding independence and confidence, and it appears to be a rediscovery of herself outside the expectations of society.

3. Wake Up Sid (2009)

This is a film coming-of-age because it argues via irresponsibility, maturation, and a purpose in finding oneself that fits with someone's idea of being lost or stuck in life.

4. Tamasha (2015)

Tamasha is for those who live a life they did not choose. It is about reclaiming passion, authenticity, and the courageousness of breaking free from labels.

5. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

It demands more than friendship and romance; it also has ambition, evolving priorities, and learning how to balance dreams with meaningful relationships.

6. English Vinglish (2012)

This is a very warm tale of self-respect and confidence. The travels of Sridevi made the people understand that personal growth does not carry any age limit.

7. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)

This is a film celebrating friendship, self-discovery, and conquering fears. It inspires everyone to live every moment and enjoy the present.

8. The Lunchbox (2013)
