If you think Bollywood is only about running around the trees dancing, over-the-top acting and heavy duty dialogues like 'main tumhare bachche ki maa banne wali hoon', you're in for a pleasant surprise. To break away from the typical masala potboilers Bollywood is famous for, here's a list of some good coming of age cinema that you will definitely relate to.
