The only criteria is that it should not be too dark / reduce my visibility from inside, esp in the night.

I would personally leave the front windshield untouched, except for a strip on the upper part.

3M is imported, so it will have duties and other costs. Also it is a "better brand" compared to Garware.

Don't know about Vkool.

Few other things that you could check before getting towards film are.

Check how old is the glass and does it have small scratches on it, if yes then you could have a different solution. On my Baleno in the older glass which was 5 years old had small scratches and the light would disperse when falls on the windshield giving me a glare. When the glass cracked due to highway stone hitting it i got it replaced and now the headlamps of oncoming traffic look like small dots (Rather then light dithering)

The second (Cheaper solution) someone in the family found out is use anti glare glasses (Actually he wears glasses hence getting glass changed of glasses to anti glare helped a lot). So if you were glasses this could be a possible solution.

Another alternative is to use anti glare clear glasses while driving at night.

Finally if none of these suit you you could always get a film put on.

None whatsoever. film is soft and is bound to pick up micro-scratches, which will make the glare even worse.

If your windshield is free of scratches, a 70% transparent sunfilm does reduce the glare a bit. Basically, it cuts off 30% of the light brightness. Both light transmission and heat transmission are two different things as you know.
I've put Infra-kool (through Nandi Toyota), it works great for heat rejection. Yes, definitely seems to help to reduce the intensity of the bright headlights targetting you.

But, beware of scratches that can come on the film. DO NOT even touch it. Wipe it with extra soft tissues only! I guess there are scratch resistant films (3M should have it, even the famous v-kool), but even if you put that you wouldnt want to risk a scratch by testing it, right?

.My solution-Got 130/100 bulbs + relay.drive with lo beam and whenever an idiot comes with hi beam ,i put on my hi beam and instantly i get a lo beam from the oncoming car.I know i sound arrogant but it works 90% of the time.

Someone told me that polarised light tint sunglass can help in coping with oncoming high-beam, never tried it though.

If we guys are referring to spectacle glass by 'antiglare clear glasses' on this topic, then I have something to add. I have been wearing spectacles for years, and recently got Crizal anti-glare lenses. I don't see any difference when it comes to oncoming high-beams.

Ya, that's kinda true, it doesn't help much, but yes with these anti glare lenses
the lights doesnt scatter much and it helps.

I have 2 glasses, i can easily feel the deference when i swap the same while driving .

Cheers.

Ok now this has me totally confused,so should i go for an anti glare glasses and will it help in night driving?my eye sight is normal ,problem is oncoming hi beams.

This is what i resort to, and like you said it works almost all the time. Only exceptions where it doesn't necessarily work is with Indica/Sumo/Tavera cabs..

Yes, you can try that, if you go to any decent optician store and ask for glasses which you will help in night driving they should be able to provide the same to you.

You can also check out polarized glasses.

Cheers
