The 1993 film Roop ki Rani Choron Ka Raja stars Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and Jackie Shroff in the lead roles. Shekhar Kapur initially directed the movie, but after he left the project, Satish Kaushik took the director’s chair to finish the shoot. Though the film boasts of an ensemble cast, extravagant sets and some well-performed action sequences, it falters due to a weak screenplay.

Starring Kareena Kapoor, Rinkie Khanna and Tusshar Kapoor, the 2001 release is a family entertainer. It is watchable for its decent performances and music by Anu Malik.
Tere Naam
Streaming on: YouTube
Tragic love story Tere Naam had film critics not just talk about Salman Khan’s hairdo but also his acting chops. His portrayal of college rowdy Radhe Mohan, who loses his mental balance after parting with the love of his life, played by Bhumika Chawla, brought him much acclaim.
Teree Sang

The central theme of this Satish Kaushik directorial is teen pregnancy. 15-year-old Mahi (Sheena Shahabadi) discovers she is pregnant with her 17-year-old boyfriend Kukoo aka Kabir’s (Ruslaan Mumtaaz) child. Despite having a serious central theme, Teree Sang, inspired by Hollywood film Juno, never gets dark or peachy. However, more than its lead actors, it is the supporting cast comprising Rajat Kapoor, Neena Gupta, Satish Kaushik, Sushmita Mukherjee Bundela and Anupam Kher who weave magic.
