Bollywood and other Indian cinema?

Really got into simply-want-to-be-entertained filmwatching this year, so lots of Bollywood. I like the conventions a lot but I don't think I've seen a single movie that I would put into like, my personal canon of must-sees. I just watched Dedh Ishqiya which is definitely the coolest Bollywood movie I've ever seen.

I've otherwise only ever watched Tollywood movies & I've really enjoyed some parallel cinema I've seen but don't have any favourites yet either. I recently watched an ethnographic documentary (?) about a couple of queer Indian couples' relationship dramas called Yeh Freedom Life & I loved that, but I love ethnographic films generally (on principle?)...

nice raj kapoor photo. i really loved mera naam joker, but don’t know a lot about his other movies. i’ve seen a lot of shah rukh khan’s movies, honestly overrated lmao. i want to watch something else. there’s a whole world out there of actually good indian movies with worthwhile things to say

Bro RRR is the silliest and yet most action filled movie i have ever seen. It's amazing.

tbh satya is my favourite hindi film- absolutely REVOLUTIONARY cause of the topics it discusses. although it didn't get much attention when it was released since it was around the same time of kuch kuch hota hai
