My Recommendations:: Best Movies of 2016! The year 2016 has come to an end and we are entering the new calendar year, 2017 marking that our dear rock in the universe, Earth completed its one revolution around our beloved Star Sun like its been doing for billions of years. Well, as humans we are bound to celebrate such an occasion looking forward to a new year with renewed enthusiasm leaving the bygone year worries to the history for records. The cinema in 2016 saw some great moments and very dull moments as well. Recounting the best moments to step into the new year on a positive note, I am giving you the list of my best cinematic experiences in theatre for the year of 2016!

In one word, you can describe Befikre as the depiction of Plastic emotions felt more plastically with an elastic screenplay that keeps on dragging for a bit and then some more, finally, delivering one big elastic fist pump that slaps you hard for walk
