Answer by Juhi Singh:
NANDITA DAS: Do I need to say more than just name these films …
All the films done by her have been based on some really serious subjects portrayed beautifully … yes, there are no non – sensical dialogues, stupid item numbers or body show but each of these movies are THE BEST Indian cinema could ever bring out.
Thanks to Nandita Das – but disappointed that she is so utterly underrated! But I just love each of her movies
1. Parinati: A Prakash Jha movie – probably actress’s debut – NATIONAL AWARD WINNING Movie
2. FIRE: The infamous movie because it was much ahead of its time to talk about homosexual relations
3. EARTH: Set during partition times, got much appreciation for Amir and Debut award for Rahul Khanna but somehow missed Nandita for her phenomenal performance!
4. Hazar Chaurasi ki maa: Another national award winning movie
5. Rockford:
Lovely movie … my personal favs. But quiet underrated like Nandita
6. Hari – Bhari: Yet another national award winning movie based on fertility issues in India. MUST WATCH ALL WOMEN OUT THERE!

8. Aks: The whole movie got shadowed by Amitabh & Manoj Bajpai but had yet another brilliant performance by Nandita Das
9. Pitaah:Not only shows struggle of a Dalit father but also a mother whose daughter is raped by 2 upper caste men in village
