Smartest 21st Century Bollywood Movies

Funny, touching, sad and powerful, it reflects the lives of typical East-Indian engineering students who were raised since birth with competition in their blood and school lives revolving around marks. Rajkumar Hirani takes a common problem of the stress among students and turns it into a movie to get ambitious young people thinking in a highly entertaining movie. Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor are a couple not to be forgotton!

Of course, is this even a question? This film, is one in everything. It entertains and teaches us. It makes us laugh, cry, dance and even turns us serious. Some of the best songs with best lyrics, like behti Hawa, is an awesome song, and the all izz well is word to word true. And the actors are like wow.
This is the best movie ever created in Bollywood, no doubt

A little cliche at times, too many annoying Bollywood sound effects,but very clever dialogue.

Best movie I ever watched.

Shahrukh "King" Khan at his best with his old-time Bollywood consort, Kajol. And Hugh Jackman loved it! A Hindu woman marries a Muslim man with asperger's syndrome, but the stigma attached to the 9/11 attacks pose a threat to their relationship. A must watch (although it's really long) with powerful dialogue and a box of tissues.

Best Indian movies I have ever seen with storyline and acted also beautiful cinematography love this

One of Bollywood's only Oscar-nominated films, Lagaan is a love story with high stakes - in British India, one Gujarati village gang challenges the local authorities to a cricket match that is the key to their freedom. Simple, yet so effective, it's one of the best stories told. Paul Blackthorne and Rachel Shelley feature in it.

Yes, I love Aamir Khan. The story follows a dyslexic child who is misunderstood by his teachers and own parents - until a unique art teacher comes into his life. The performance of the kids are stunning and the movie portrays people with disabilities in India in a much-needed new light.

Another Aamir Khan movie, Rang de Basanti is a sweet yet raw interpretation of the revolutionaries who came into popularity during British rule over India, as told by aspiring film students. It features all "3 Idiots," but it isn't at all movie as light as it seems. Guaranteed to stick with you for a while.

A slightly cheesy title for an excellent movie. has excellent acting with Paresh Rawal and (believe it or not) Akshay Kumar. In a country knee-deep in superstition and ritual, a shopkeeper decides to sue god and sifts through the complicated practices of religion in order to find out the true meaning of spirituality. It's hilarious and eye-opening.

The young and ever-fresh Ranbir Kapoor proves he can act alongside the surprisingly talented Priyanka Chopra. Playing deaf and autistic characters respectively, Barfi! Is visually exceptional (the filmography is amazing, and not just by Bwood standards! ), sweet and funny. Although it's Charlie Chaplin / Mr. Bean-like references are a little too obvious, this light love story has a more Hollywood-level simplicity and rawness to it.

Shahrukh Khan plays a tough but ambitious ball hockey coach for India's low rated women's team. Another high-stakes film with a no-nonsense approach as it shows the true potential of women in sport in a stereotypically biased country. The movie features Canadian singer and actress Amanda Wilkinson.

Starring the one and only Amitabh Bachchan alongside the potential acting superstar Deepika Padukone and the "good-oldie" Saif Ali Khan, this highly controversial movie delves into the sensitive distribution of education among the upper classes of India and the lower class "untouchables". Complex and real, it takes affirmative action to the next level.

To all who were wondering, Vidya Balan can act! The closest Bollywood film to a Hollywood-style suspenseful thriller, Kahaani doesn't need action to pull you in. Balan plays a heart-wrenching pregnant woman who comes to a lie-infested city in India in the search of her lost husband. Balan, who has showed her versatility with comedy, love, and now drama killed the performance. The movie is also exceptionally edited.
