What are some examples of movies where you went with zero expectations but was pleasantly surprised?


For me:


Queen ( I literally had zero expectations from the trailer and from Kangu's record)

Andadhun ( The trailer didn't impress me but was blown away by the movie)

Kahaani ( I had NO IDEA the film would be so good)

Piku ( I didn't like the trailer but the film was absolutely amazing)

Jaawani Jaaneman ( I didn't expect it to be such a breezy, feel-good film)

Qarib Qarib Singlle - went for it randomly since my friends and I had decided to watch a movie and boy, we loved it. Such a delicious, fun and relatable movie! Irrfan and Parvathy <3

Stree for sure. The trailer was okay-ish for me but I had no idea I would enjoy it so much.

Dil Se - Had this impression that movie flopped or something..So was apprehensive..But was on RGV spree so just watched it for the sake of watching his stuff..

Actually similar experience with some such RGV movies like My wife's murder , Road , Daud , Kaun etc..


Shagird - Never heard of this movie actually until one day spotted it lying in a folder in cousin's laptop..Had zero expectation either way..


Is Raat Ki Subah Nahi - Same expectations as Shagird like never heard of this movie until one day stumbled upon it running on TV..Found bit intriguing for that era , ended up watching whole..


Sandwich - Definitely not my sort so wasn't enamored when saw it running on TV..


Anthony Kaun Hai - Avg. reviews , mundane star cast etc..Low expectation..Cannot recall why still gave it a try..


Agent Vinod - Same as Anthony (except remembering why gave it a try)..


There might be some more which I might be unable to recall atm..


(edit) 404 error - Had to mention this..No expectation either way..
