Indian movies are a special genre of cinema. Bollywood makes over 1,000 feature films annually, which is unreachable for Hollywood. Most of these films are almost impossible to watch for the Western audience. However, some very good ones are slowly but surely bleeding into streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Video. These movies have fascinating plots, choreography, stunt work, and incredible actors.
1. RRR (2022)
RRR is an action-filled adventure about a policeman named Rama and a guy from the Gond tribe Bhim, who came to Delhi looking for a woman kidnapped by the governor. The shady governor puts a reward for Bhim’s head, and Rama tries to catch him. After rescuing a boy who fell into a river, Rama and Bhim become friends without even knowing each other’s real identities. The rest of the plot is so chaotic and fun, you need to see it for yourself!
2. Dangal (2016)
Aamir Khan played a real-life athlete Mahavir Singh Phogat who was forced to give up wrestling due to poverty. He dreamed of having a son, who would become a champion one day, but all he had were four daughters. The man was miserable until he suddenly noticed how amazing his girls were — they didn’t let anyone down and even beat up local hooligans. Phogat was so inspired that he started training his daughters and made them champions!
3. PK (2014)
A sci-fi comedy starring Aamir Khan? Yes, please! The alien named PK comes to Earth to study life on our planet. He keeps asking everyone uncomfortable questions and takes them by surprise with his childish charm. The movie would be considered a hard 6/10 if not for the very clear message: your religion doesn’t give you the right to commit acts of terror.
