Lootera deserved to be on the list. After being highly critically acclaimed, it was royally ignored for almost all major awards.
Swades is an amazing film, one of the best performance from SRK.

Lootera should have been up there. Very well made film. I personally would have liked Peepli Live there, I just love that movie.

I think based on personal tastes there may be other movies that should have been on the list. That being said BW cinema quality has actually improved significantly over the years. There is a lot more variety and a lot more subjects touched upon. The only problem is that the big masala blockbusters overshadow these smaller films.

Lists like these reiterate my point earlier this week that high grossing revenue doesn't really say much. These underrated films have a good run in multiplexes and have a long lasting word of mouth run. Since many of them use small budgets and lesser known stars their costs are low and ROI is higher. So not only quality, these films may actually give the makers more bang for their buck. If this wasn't true you wouldn't see a steep increase in these films over the past decade. You wouldn't see major production houses like Yash Raj films switch gears from magnum opuses to small films here and there. The burst of this small-mid range flick genre is also seeing more foreign investors like Fox Searchlight and Disney. Bottom line is ATBBs look good with the high earnings, they may work miracles for stars, but they aren't as lucrative as they seem from investment perspective.

wow, some of my favs on that list...swades, rocket singh, phas gaye re obama, dor, bheja fry, khosla ka ghosla,,, love them!
they should have included the very recent "Filmistaan" here...it was a good watch!

I'm glad Bollywood is making more such movies these days!
