For those unfamiliar with Bollywood, I’ve compiled a detailed list of diverse, meaningful, yet entertaining films to stream. Encompassing most genres, here are my strongest recs (in no order). This holiday season, check some of these out and lmk what y’all think! Hope you enjoy!

And yes, I know I’m missing classic 1990s and 2000s films but these are movies from the past ~10 years. They are more “modern”, have more “westernized” storytelling, while having an Indian “heart”. I’ll keep updating this list once more films come on streaming platforms!

Decided to add to my Top “Modern” Bollywood Movies to recommend to those unfamiliar with Hindi Cinema. There are my top recommendations for exceptional films currently streaming so check these out and lmk what you think!
