Actor

Anirudh Balaji

, who is known for his role in the serial Muurugantu, talks about his favourite

films

on #QuickTakesWithBangaloreTimes. The

actor

tells us what makes these movies special...
1. Life is Beautiful: What I like the most about this film is the lead actor, Roberto Benigni. He's a brilliant performer. The film is about a Jewish man who raises a boy when they are taken captive by the Nazis. The way the story has been narrated is brilliant.

2. Old Boy: This is a

Korean

film about a man who wakes up with no memory of his past and so is forced to find out more about his past. There are dire consequences if he is unable to do so. It's a revenge film and the entire story grips you till the end.

3. Beautiful Boxer: This a Thai film and exemplifies the art of good

storytelling

. It is based on the world of kickboxing and tells the story of a boy, who doesn't want to be a boxer. In fact he wants to be a woman. The movie is made so well, that you feel for the main characters and connect with the situation.

4. Coco: This animated film is made extremely well. It is based on South American culture and tells the story of a boy and his family. The settings and characters fit perfectly.

5.

Star Wars

: It is one of those timeless films. When it was released, it opened a different world to an entire generation and elevated the sci-fi genre to another level.
