Top 10 Greatest Indian Movies Of All Time (Lousystone)
Being Indian myself I was exposed to Bollywood at early age. Indian movies are usually masala movies, musicals filmed in beautiful settings. These films appeal to a wide range of audiences, because they typically include action, romance, comedy, drama, and mystery. That's why masala films have been called the "full entertainment package." They will keep you entertained even if they make no sense in terms of plot or theme.

I love Bollywood. So I decided to come up with a list of the greatest Indian movies. Choosing the 10 best Indian movies from a catalog created by an industry that produces more than 100 movies every year is a tough task. But still there are films that are outstanding, have been praised for their excellence, grossed large amounts at the box office, created milestones In filmmaking, and attracted world cinema to Bollywood.

From current releases to the classics, here you'll find the greatest Indian movies of all time.

๐Ÿ˜10. Water (2005) By Dipa Mehta

Plot Summary: Set in colonial India against Gandhi's rise to power, it's the story of 8-year-old Chuyia, who is widowed and sent to a home to live in penitence; once there, Chuyia's feisty presence deeply affects the lives of the other residents.

๐Ÿ’ฅRating: Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material involving sexual situations, and for brief drug use

Water is stunning because it is so quiet. The devastating unfairness of the lives of women interred in darkness, intertwined with the tragic love story of Narayan and Kalyani is played out without a hint of melodrama. Mehta explores the politics of religion to highlight how religious hypocrisy is used to ensure women are undermined and made subservient for economic purposes.

๐Ÿ˜9) The Namesake (2006) By Mira Nair

Plot Summary: Ashima and Ashoke, immigrant Bengali parents, try to adjust to life in America, while Gogol, their son, tries to find his identity and choose between the two worlds.

๐Ÿ’ฅRating: Rated PG-13 for sexuality/nudity, a scene of drug use, some disturbing images and brief language

Mira Nair turns Jhumpa Lahiri's gentle, evocative novel The Namesake, into a gentle, evocative film. The Namesake captures the interior struggle between centuries of history and the appeal of living only in the now, and it's grippingly beautiful and overwhelmingly moving.
