Props to Sara and Bhumi for including Maqbool in their list. Full support to them from now on.

Iruvar is a regional film from 1997.


I have doubts Anupama watched this

Awww…look at all the Telugu celebs championing “maya bazar” and “Shankara bharanam” (hells yeh)

I liked reading the celeb lists …predictable but u can tell what kind of cinema they are into

Kjo with mostly emotional/ romantic/ yash chopras type of work ..

Beioy nambiar with mani ratnams work (he was his ad I believe)

Hrithik with popular / inspirational cinema

Jnr ntr with mythological cinema

Zoya with her “film festival” kinda movies

Are a majority of these 150 artists from Bollywood? 70% are Hindi.

FC should just do themselves a huge favour and stop making these “Indian” lists and stick to Bollywood.

They're among the 150 odd people who were asked for their Top 5 Indian films. Final top 10 is based on which films got the most votes. Sabka top 5 is listed on the above link.

Mira Nair was badass enough to pick one of her own films in the list 😆. Probably the only director to do so.


I think a couple of actors (Anil Kapoor, Rajkumar Rao) did the same thing.


Pushkar and Gayatri having the same top 5 was weird.

What is the purpose of this poll? Promoting the Website? Anupama promoting herself?

Even though I may look for some people's favourites, I'll forget them...and I certainly won't vote.

I know SRK's favourites (who obviously did not respond), that's enough to me 😉
