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?)...

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

At our religious studies class we watched a movie called "PK", and the expectatives were low, but actually the movie is really good. It takes and explores different religions, but in a way that is really interesting and emotional. You can see how you see religions in different ways, ways that makes you feel confused on your religious indentity. And he movie is really funny, which makes it better.

It's on Netflix, and I really recommend it.

Not an expert in indian movies, but I saw Apur Sansar by Satyajit Ray and it's a good film, really sweet. Tecnically is the middle film of a trilogy

I know it's pretty popular but I haven't really watched any bollywood movies... Slumdog Millionaire is one of the best movies I ever watched. It left a mark on me at a young age

Despite the CGI, I absolutely loved Bajiaro Mastani. The clothes, music, dance breaks, and other elements really stuck with me.
