Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is very much the common man he represents. Like every Aam Aadmi he loves to watch movies. He not only likes to watch the latest movies but also reviews them on Twitter. The hash tag "#kejrimovies" trends on Twitter every time the public comes to know that the AAP leader has watched a flick.

According to a report in NDTV, Kejriwal was also offered a movie opposite Mallika Sherawat called "Dirty Politics", back in 2012. Here's the list of movies Kejriwal watched recently:

1. Wazir:

Arvind Kejriwal watched Bejoy Nambiar's latest release Wazir along with the whole star cast including actors Farhan Akhtar and Aditi Rao Hydari, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and writer Abhijat Joshi. He watched the film at a special screening held at PVR's Director's Cut in New Delhi.

2. Manjhi- The Mountain Man

: Kejriwal has a soft corner for un-conventional Bollywood movies. Along with his colleagues, Kejriwal attended a special screening of the Manjhi - The mountain man, in the national capital. "Manjhi, the Mountain Man is simply superb. Very inspirational. Youth must watch it," he tweeted after watching the movie.

In another tweet, he praised actor Nawazuddin Siddhiqui's "phenomenal" acting. He also took a dig at Prime minister Narendra Modi over his DNA remark on Nitish Kumar by tweeting: "Now that Bihar polls are approaching everyone should watch the (Manjhi) film to know what the DNA of Bihar is made of."

3. Drishyam:

Kejriwal managed to watch Ajay Devgan starrer, Drishyam with Aam Aadmi Party leaders Kumar Vishwas, Manish Sisidia and producer Kuman Mangat Pathak. He seemed to have loved the movie and took to Twitter to show his appreciation saying: "Watched "Drishyam". A must watch."

He also the praised the lead actress Richa Chaddha in a tweet saying: "Richa Chadha your acting in Masaan is superb."

Mr. Kejriwal managed to take some time out during the election campaign time to watch Amir Khan starrer, PK. He applauded the makers and Amir Khan for the performance. "Just watched PK. Excellent movie. Congrats @aamir_khan for handling such a delicate subject so beautifully," Kejriwal tweeted.

6. Bang-Bang:

Kejriwal seems to enjoy commercial Bollywood flicks too. This was proven when he watched Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif starrer Bang-Bang. He posted on the micro-blogging website, "Went to see Bang Bang with my family. Nice movie. Kids enjoyed it. Congrats @VishalDadlani".
