Masala films can be well-made too

Bollywood makes really good masala films, and here are some examples:

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) - Directed by Karan Johar, a classic family drama.

Lagaan (2001) - Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, an epic sports drama.

Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) - Directed by Nikkhil Advani, a heartwarming drama.

Dhoom (2004) - Directed by Sanjay Gadhvi, an action-packed franchise starter.

3 Idiots (2009) - Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, this film is a comedy-drama with a strong message about the education system. It was both critically acclaimed and a box office success.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)- An epic bachelors trip where the 3 main characters unlearn and relearn love and life's lessons

Vicky Donor (2012) - Directed by Shoojit Sircar, a comedy addressing sperm donation.

Chennai Express (2013) - Directed by Rohit Shetty, this film is a comedy-action masala entertainer with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles.

Piku (2015) - Another Shoojit Sircar film, a heartwarming family drama.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) - Directed by Kabir Khan, a heartwarming story of a man's journey to reunite a lost child with her family.

Bajirao Mastani (2015) - Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, a grand historical epic.

I personally like Shoojit Sircar, Rajkumar Hirani, Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali films.

They make good masala films.

I love Gauri Shinde, thought English Vinglish was hands down the best Bollywood movie of last decade, followed by Queen.

Who is your favourite filmmaker from Bollywood who makes good + entertaining films?

Chennai Express might I add is Rohit Shetty's best film. It was hilarious!!!!

Majority of them are not masala movies. They are drama,melodramas,comedy,slice of life, historical, epic movies.Sholay,Ghajini,Shaan,Khakee,Singham,Dabangg,Rowdy Rathore,CE are some of the examples of masala movies.

They are well-made masala films. Unfortunately, there's a myth that only trashy movies are masala movies.

Well-made Masala movies are a delightful concoction of diverse elements, seamlessly blending drama, action, romance, and music to create a cinematic experience that entertains and resonates with a wide audience, often leaving a lasting impact with their engaging storytelling and memorable performances.

Some of those I mentioned ain't trash.

There are 2 kinds of films - masala movies' and offbeat movies

That's how films are categorized

Are you telling me the ones I mentioned are offbeat movies?

Perhaps the only one which is not a masala film is Piku.

Chennai Express ko chhod ke ek bhi Masala movie nahi hai list mein Minty Ji
