This is NDTV's list of the best movies of the decade...

Do you agree??

Do you disagree??

If not these which ones make it to your list of the best for this decade... 😊

( The order below is based on release dates and Courtesy: NDTV )

Gadar: Ek Prem Katha – Sunny Deol's Sikh truck driver and Ameesha Patel's Muslim aristocrat made this Partition-era love story one of 2001's best Bollywood moments

Lagaan: 2001 was a good year for Bollywood with Aamir Khan's cricket XI taking on the might of John Company in pre-Independence, drought-ridden Champaner

Devdas: The 2002 version of the tragic Devdas-Paro-Chandramukhi triangle was a visual feast for the senses.

Black: Despite it's darker overtones, Black hit screens like a ray of light in 2005, exploring the dynamics between a blind and deaf girl and her ageing tutor

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra helmed this dose of history and politics that jumped off the theatre screens to impact Indian society, sparking political thought and involvement in social issues

Taare Zameen Par: Aamir Khan struck again, this time as director and actor, with 2007's uplifting story of a dyslexic young boy's struggle to for understanding and empathy

Ghajini: Unstoppable Aamir Khan followed up his directorial debut with this Action Jackson role as the buff and tattooed hero out for revenge in 2008

Jodhaa Akbar – Aishwarya's luminous beauty and Hrithik's manly charm made this royal love story set in the deserts of Rajasthan a sure thing at the box office of 2008

3 Idiots: If it's got Aamir Khan, it's got to be a winner! The all star cast including Kareena Kapoor, Madhavan, Boman Irani and Sharman Joshi took this feel good, youthful entertainer to a new box office high in 2009

Endhiran: Force of nature Rajinikanth eclipsed every other release of 2010 with this Tamil science fiction moneyspinner costarring the ethereal Aishwarya

Nice list. I actually agree with most of them.

The only ones I'm not too sure about are Gadar & Robot. Actually coming to think of it JA was average. Not that extraordinary.

I haven't even seen Robot yet so can't comment much on.

Gadar was a good film, but I'm not sure if it was the best?

Gadar ek prem katha gets mocked a lot on these online forums and its not politically correct, but yes its one of the most impactful movies of the decade, somewhere I think it never got its due credit but when it released it did bigger business than Lagaan. Amisha and Sunny were AWESOME in the movie.

Devdas shouldn't be there, before i was also impressed by its glitz and glamor but its one of those movies that don't pass the test of time, it was more shimmer than substance. Devdas was supposed to be about intensity of emotions but it was reduced to OTT wardrobes, sets and melodrama.

Chak de India should have been in the list, when it was about to release people were like Srk is aping aamir in making a sports based movie after lagaan, but the movie did stun a lot of people.

Aamir's RDB and Lagaan deserve it can't say the same about Ghajni, JA was a joke, I watched endhiran recently, thoroughly enjoyed it, Rajini rocks, it was definately something hatke from the usual Indian movies.

LOL cutie, Rajnikanth is the actor. Robot is the film 😆

I never really understood what the big hype around Gadar was all about. I thought it was a strictly average film with Sunny doing what he does best - yelling loudly in my ear.

In addition, I wouldn't put Devdas and Jodhaa Akbar on there either. I was hella bored in both those films. And Ghajini - definitely not one of the top 10 films of the decade.

Havent seen Gadar or Robot so can't comment

W*H? why is Ganji on the list? I'm sure it was a blockbuster but that movie messed up my brains, I dont think it deserves to be on that list. There are a lot more movies that I can think of that deserve to be the best movies of the decade, even though they werent blockbusters.

Parineeta
Chameli
Dor
Munnabhai
A Wednesday
etc etc

IMO....Ghajini... and one of the top ten of the decade.. no way..

Gadar, JA, Devdas... were decent but definitely do not make it to my top ten...

I would rate Swades, Chak de, Parineeta, Munnabhai much higher than these four.... 😊

Me thinks that the writer hates SRk. I am not a huge fan but come on.. only 1 SRK movie vs 5 of Aamir's? No CDI, no Swadesh? And also.. no Guru, no Yuva, no DCH, no Paa, no Kaminey. IF it is a list made strictly on commercial success, then there are far more successful films than Black, Devdas and TZP. And if it is a list meant for path-breaking, iconic films then except for a couple, most of these films don't qualify. I mean Gaddar and Endhiran.. really?
