Whats a best sleeper hit?

Best film out of the ones mentioned or the film that had the least chance of succeeding but still did anyway?

OMG is the biggest hit among the ones mentioned, and Paan SIngh Tomar is the best one. Queen had the least chance of succeeding, a non-mainstream plot, a woman- oriented film and not the greatest promotions. It was one of the few films that did better in its following weeks than its first, which says to me, that its a complete WOM hit.

It is a very tough choice.

But I will vote for OMG.

I feel it was a brave movie in a country like India. Kudos to the team for making such a film.

They played it kind of safe in the end. But overall it was superb in challenging blind beliefs and attacking institutions that commercialise religion.

The fact there is no masala, naach gaana, sex/romance or violence in it, no conventional ingredients for a Hindi film to be hit only adds to its achievement.

It became a success despite so called protests and bans in some places.

Success of a film like this really shows some change mindset of Indian moviegoer.

I enjoyed OMG OMG, what a witty film. And also Band Bajaa Baraat. So, these two it is for me.

Btw, I liked Paan Singh Tomar and preferred it over Barfi, anyday. But it's not something I can watch repeatedly, some scenes were too hard to stomach especially keeping in mind the fact that all of it was based on real life. 😒 Glad, it made money though.

I'll pick OMG, Queen, VD and Kahaani.. I liked all 4 ⭐️
I'll vote for OMG though for being such a daring and interesting film.

Same thing can be said for Kahaani too, right? I think WOM helped it a lot. Same with Barfi. But I didn't hear much about PST..I think it's a true sleeper hit.

I really and still do love Tum Bin a lot. It was cute and innocent and the songs were so lovely.
