The best Bollywood movies of the last two decades? - Page 6

Ok Dabangg was a fantastic watch, everything one would want in a Bollywood movie. Chulbul Pandey was a great mix of thuggery and vulnerability, awesome bits of humor in unexpected places (Chulbul and random thug dancing to thug's ringtone🤣), satisfying ending with apt justice served and family reunited. The romance was a little... well, aggressive but the songs were lovely and Sonakshi was fierce (if a bit underused) in this.

But the real revelation was 'Omkara' - holy moly, how did I never know there were Bollywood adaptions of Shakespeare plays? I'm a huge fan of "Othello", I've watched every good and bad film adaptation I know of except this one - which wow! It translates so well to the UP setting, the vernacular, the characters everything - totally inspired. I was blown away! Am excited to watch Haider and Maqbool to round out my three most fave plays of the bard.

(Tagging Guddu Pandit who was the first to suggest Dabangg and Omkara but thanks to everyone else who seconded and to those who rec'ed Maqbool and Haider)

Glad you liked both 👍🏼

That’s tough it’s a huge time frame. For me it’s the movies I keep going back to or love revisiting that are the best. So many movies are great but one time watches if you watch it more than once, it’s definitely a fav so for me it’s

Munna Bhai MBBS

Wake up Sid

Tamasha

YJHD

ZNMD

Chichore

Jaane tu ya jaane na

Queen

English vinglish

Tanu weds Manu returns

Gully Boy

Band baaja baraat

Lootera

Badla

Andhadhun

Then there are guilty pleasures. Not so great movies but I enjoy watching them for some reason includes Bachna ae Haseeno and Badri ki dulhaniya (yes I’m ashamed to admit it)

English Vinglish looks cool (even though I’ve never been a Sridevi fan).

Have you watched the two movies I recommended

Or planning to watch soon 😆

Omkara, Maqbool, Haider are absolute masterpieces - and I’d never heard of them! Totally worth the nerves I felt in making a new IF thread😆

Do the honors. I can myself write pages about these 3 masterpieces. Absolute delight in watching these 3.

Go ahead, man. I will join.

LSC is actually playing at a nearby multiplex but the threads on the first page and the fact I haven’t stepped foot into a theater in two years make it a bit doubtful I’ll see it soon… maybe they’ll end up on Netflix or Prime in a few months?

Have you seen them/liked them?

If you have to ask it again, then no use to confirm 😆

Ha no, I was referring to this thread (the first thread I responded on here, a couple of people accused me of being an alter-ego of the topic maker, I went back into lurk mode for a while after that 🤣).

I’m not much of a writer but if you start the discussion on this trilogy I will chime in! They were a revelation.

No... As I said in the other thread, I don't go to the movies only watch them at home
