FAVOURITE MOVIE
My all-time favourite is Guide (1965) for its timeless essence. The Dev Anand and Waheeda Rahman-starrer, based on a novel by R.K. Narayan, revolves around the life of a small-time tourist guide in a charming Indian town and his profound journey of self-discovery. The film beautifully portrays the idea that genuine happiness resides within oneself.
