1. GULAL

The gulal is one of the best movies directed by the Anurag Kashyap. The story of this movie is solemnly basis on revenge, or how the politics of a dirty world change a person. Ultimately, the film shows how cruel college politics are in small cities of India. All the actors in the movie gave a flawless performances.

3. Kadvi Hawa

 

 

The movie is all about survival. It shows the agony of farmers, how they are trapped in the loans, and how the agents manipulate their lives. The films have many heart-wrenching scenes where you cannot stop your tears.

4. lunchbox

When you watch this movie, you surely don't want the ending of this movie. The film is simple and goes on like fresh air going through your face and leaving a good smile. I find this movie very realistic. It shows the beautiful communication only through notes/letters. It is all about emotions. There is a perfect line in the film where Irfan sir says, "I think we forget things if there is nobody to tell them."

cast- Irfan khan, nitrate Kaur (both gave masterpiece performance

4. HASIl

 It is the mirror of north Indian college politics. The movie is packed with powerful drama. The film shows different aspects of life: caste system, patriarchal society, violent student politics, betrayal, and friendship.

cast- Irfan khan, Jimmy Shergill, Ashutosh Rana 

5.MASAAN

In Varanasi, Devi struggles to shake off the social stigma of pre-marital sexual relations. Meanwhile, lovers Deepak and Shalu attempt to transcend the restrictions of their casteist society.

The people living in the metro never understand how love grows in small cities. massan is a fine combination of two stories, and the way story is narrated is totally overwhelming.  The music is so unique and soothing.  The movie will attach with you even after the end. All the actors give justice to the film.

cast ; richa chadda, vicky kaushal , shweta tripathi, sanjay mishra, pankaj tripathi

 

6. Shool 

 

shool and Satya are the movies that give identity to Manoj Vajpayee

Inspector Samar is transferred to Motihari due to his honesty. He soon earns the wrath of a corrupt politician, Bachchu Yadav, who gradually threatens him and his family.

The story is all about corrupt politicians vs. police. We have already seen many movies based on this theme, like gangajal and many more, but I would say an acting-wise Manoj sir goes far ahead.

cast- Manoj Vajpayee, Raveena Tandon

 

7. Aligarh

Dr. Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, a professor on whom a sting operation was carried out to determine his sexual orientation, forms a special bond with the journalist who covers his story. The movie shows the real pain and anguish faced by homosexual people and how they survive in this racist world. In India, where till now, homosexuality considers a sin, Aligarh is a tight slap for them. There is brilliant casting and performance given by all the artists

cast: Manoj baby pee, Rajkumar Rao

8. Ship of Theseus

An experimental photographer, an ailing monk, and a young stockbroker explore identity, justice, beauty, and the meaning of life and death.

hardly many Indians know about this masterclass, and I think this movie is more than 100 crore box office collection

 

9. Paan Singh Tomar

Paan Singh Tomar, an athlete, won gold medals at the Indian National Games seven times. He is forced to become a dacoit when his mother is murdered, and the police do not take any action. This movie is inspired by actual events. the direction done by the tigmanshu dulia is flawless and on the same hand excellent performance by Irfan sir

10. Swades

One of the cult classic movies of Indian cinema.

Story about a guy who worked in NASA and traveled back to the country to find his roots, and he stayed in a village, and with his thoughts, he totally reformed the town.
