2012 turned out to be a year when a number of smaller or independent films made their way onto many Top Ten lists. But, as always, there are films that, for a number of reasons, risk being forgotten or overlooked, especially in a year where there are so many great films to choose from. Here are 13 films – 10 already released, 3 from the festival circuit – that you should have seen in 2012. It’s still not too late!
Jalpari: The Desert Mermaid (dir. Nila Madhab Panda)
It’s a massive shame that Nila Madhab Panda’s film didn’t get as much attention as his I Am Kalam, and also a shame that the film was released to DVD without English subtitles. Because Jalpari: The Desert Mermaid, like I Am Kalam, weaves an issue into a story about, and for, children and families, and the message it carries (about the value of women and...

I n 2012–the year Indian cinema turned 100–it showed renewed vigour and youthfulness as if it were being reborn. A new generation of young and restless filmmakers, who caught attention of festival programmers worldwide, rewrote the rules of not only mainstream cinema but also challenged what Indians traditionally believed an “alternative film” or at times labeled as “art film” stood for.
We use the term ‘independent’ to denote the attitude rather than the economic mode of production. That’s why films that are backed by major studios and the government as well as films which have been funded in completely non-traditional ways co-exist in our list.
Any such list can’t claim to be authoritative and scientific; however, what we claim is that our listing isn’t arbitrary. We took into consideration factors such as selection at A-list festivals, popularity among festivals in general, awards, jury mentions, international reviews, international distribution and domestic release.

Children’s films in India don’t seem to believe much in experimenting; they work within a prescribed format with certain compulsory elements like an orphaned child who is made to work hard by a cruel uncle, the child’s quest for education and a moral at the end of the story. Films like Vishal Bhardwaj’s Makdee, Santosh Sivan’s Halo and Ajay Kartik’s Karamati Coat, two of which were produced by the Cfsi, evoke nostalgia about a bygone era when children’s films explored the realm of fantasy and took one on an adventurous and emotional ride with the protagonist. The stories of an old witch who turned humans into animals, a miraculous street dog and a magical coat were so much more charming in contrast to the ‘real’ stories of today.
Nevertheless children’s films deserve some concession; after all there are so few of them...
