Do you want just 14inch or higher will be good too.. at your budget you can easily get 15inch.. And for movie's it is good to get larger screen..

Check this one out: Asus K43SA-VX040D
2nd gen core i5, 4GB RAM, 750GB hd and ATI 6730 for your gaming needs.
Overshoot your budget by 3k and worth it.

Though the asus one is superb as per config, I doubt if 14" can handle so much of raw power. Heating issues can't be ignored. Check this out, I bought this for my bro- VPCEG2AEN

HD 3000 would not meet his gaming needs
6730M is comparable to 540M
Thus he would be able to run games(NFS, FIFA) for at least 2 years

No idea about heating :p

I dont think we can run NFS Run at ultra with this graphics card at 720p (not sure).
But at medium settings, NFS and FIFA series is very much playable.
And I doubt any comparable laptop config exists in India at 38K.

HD 6730M is on the same league of GT 555M and can run NFS at highest setting at 720P.
dashing.sujay, I guess you have not used Asus laptop till date and it is wrong to conclude that 14" Laptop will have heating issue. I personally have one. All the Asus models are made of Brushed Alluminium Alloy and have a side vent for hot air to be pushed outside. That thing works perfectly and as a result the bottom surface never gets heated like other brands, especially Dell and Thosiba, while running demanding apps and gaming. Now if you use a good Cooling pad, there won't be any problem.

@aroraanat & niilesh- I know that it didn't had any graphics card and you need not repeat it. And niilesh, 6730 is way better than 540m and 720p would not at all be a problem even at ultra settings.
@cilus- Yeah, I haven't used any asus laptop, so was just doubting. If asus could provide such efficient cooling with this beast config, it would be fantastic.

I had read that 6730M is a 6770M with slow DDR3 memory
so i assumed it to be comparable to 540m

Now looking at the benchmarks i found it comparable to 550M
