It has been a very good year for Bollywood as far as the content and business is concerned. Not just the year, the whole decade (2009-2019) has been amazing for the industry because a wide range and variety of movies were made and celebrated by the audience.
It was a decade when the audience’s taste comparatively improved and better films were not just made but were consumed too. If the audience in this decade made films like Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, and Singham huge hits, it also made showered love on films like Gully Boy, Piku, English Vinglish, Hichki, Article 15 and many more.
While big changes always take time to happen, this decade for Bollywood was indeed a hint that the future holds lots of great stuff for the audience.
While scrolling through Twitter today morning, we came across an interesting thread by a Bollywood fan. The thread by a Twitter user named Ankit Ojha puts light on a list of 30 Bollywood films which ensured that this decade was a big change in the kind of films Bollywood has made in the past. The thread started in a reply to another user who suggested only ‘The Lunchbox’ movie and ‘Nawazuddin Siddiqui’ actor were the two good things that happened to Bollywood in this decade. Have a look-
This is how you downplay and devalue a rather decent decade for Indian cinema, but ok, since you’re really stoked on calling The Lunchbox the only contender for best Indian film of the decade, let’s begin:

1. Alright, so let’s start off with Dibakar Banerjee’s Love, Sex Aur Dhokha, which could quite definitely be a vibrant Indian twist on a filmmaking technique explored around the rest of the world. It’s a milestone film for the industry.
— Ankit Ojha
2. Guzaarish is a masterwork, and it’s hard to think of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film that has been as understated after that film. Most of the rest of his creations have been awfully loud, and this film is a reminder of the kind of director he can be.
— Ankit Ojha
3. Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maaro Dum is a neon-lit hyperdrive that marries old fashioned storytelling with the grit of inspired action and crime films.
4. Bejoy Nambiar’s Shaitaan is an absolutely stunning, psychedelic thriller, and a brilliant directorial debut.
— Ankit Ojha
5. Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar is a towering crescendo of a romance film that uses non-linear storytelling to its advantage, and creates an experience bound to rip your hearts to shreds.
— Ankit Ojha
Trending
6. Don 2 is a solid mainstream action film that rivals international standards in the genre, uses long takes, has incredible looking car chases, and a retro-electro mood to die for.
— Ankit Ojha
7. That Girl in Yellow Boots is a discomforting film about a journey best not taken, and if you haven’t seen it, the less said the better.
8. Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is one of the best Indian romantic comedies of the last decade, and I don’t get why nobody talks of it now.
— Ankit Ojha
9. Another banger from Dibakar: Shanghai, a slow-burn, dark and atmospheric drama that is both fascinating and discomforting in how capitalism functions.
— Ankit Ojha
10. Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish. Need I say more?
11. Sachin Kundalkar’s Aiyyaa, a MASSIVELY underrated comedy about a woman’s desire and how she claims agency over it.
— Ankit Ojha
12. Reema Kagti’s Talaash. Another slow-burn thriller that actually takes its time to suck you in, and is the kind of movie that gets better with every consecutive repeat viewing.
13. Rajkumar Gupta’s Ghanchakkar, a misunderstood masterpiece of a black comedy.
— Ankit Ojha
14. Homi Adjania’s Finding Fanny, which is both funny and heartbreaking, with top-notch performances and a whole lotta great organic humor.
— Ankit Ojha
15. Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly, yet another one of his movies that ramps up the claustrophobia factor to eleven.
16. Kill Dil, a highly underrated subversion of Indian blockbuster potboiler tropes in the vein of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, which was a pastiche on English comedies.
— Ankit Ojha
17. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, one my favorite movies of the decade, drenched in Hitchcockian neo-noir, with the kind of slow-burn that is super effective by the end of it. MAKE A SEQUEL YOU COWARDS!
— Ankit Ojha
18. Piku. Film made me sob my heart out, and was just perfect.
19. Main Aur Charles, Prawaal Raman’s sexy, sort-of-biographical crime drama that plays out more like an actual genre film than a biopic.
— Ankit Ojha
20. Another Imtiaz Ali film, Tamasha, with a raging voice about the eventual implosion that’s a result of societal expectations.
21. Neerja. That’s it. That’s the description.
— Ankit Ojha
22. Anu Menon’s Waiting. Such an empathetic portrayal of grief and companionship as a result of shared grief.
23. Udta Punjab because yes, of course!
24. Jagga Jaasoos: a film that can ACTUALLY BE CALLED a musical, despite half the films every year flirting with the genre.
— Ankit Ojha
25. Mukti Bhawan, in which @_AdilHussain is such an insanely nuanced desi dad torn from all sides of his family, stuck in the middle of a mess between his father and the rest of his life. It’s brilliant.
— Ankit Ojha
26. Other contained dramas like Death in the Gunj and comedies like Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan were quite the showstoppers in actually trying to make a great movie rather than just pretending to make one.
— Ankit Ojha
27. October. What a film. What a massively poignant film.
28. Manmarziyaan, a searing romantic drama created by Anurag Kashyap of all people, and it’s just a knockout.
29. The Sky is Pink, Gully Boy, and Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota also released over the past decade.
— Ankit Ojha
30. Also let’s not forget Anubhav Sinha’s Article 15, which grips you through and through, and is in my opinion one of the better Hindi films to have widely released last year.
— Ankit Ojha
There are legit SO MANY Indian movies, and in so many different languages no less, but these are 30 Hindi films that I literally rattled off the top of my head with no order of preference.
— Ankit Ojha
If y’all are only looking on the surface, giving credit solely to The Lunchbox (which, yes, it’s a brilliant film) and waxing lyrical about Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron and the “better decades in Hindi film,” then you’re not looking hard enough, or you have a very skewed idea of “cinema.”
