3. Paheli

Director: Amol Palekar
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji
The review

Why it makes the Top 3: Marvellous cinematography frames a simple, sweet fairytale. SRK moves beyond his trademark affectations to deliver a flawless performance, and Amitabh Bachchan pops in with a memorable cameo. Ultimately, however, this is entirely Palekar's film, and the tale is told very well indeed.
