The Best of Bollywood?

Published: Aug. 18, 2024, 10 p.m.

It's the largest movie industry in the world with the most new movies produced every year, and yet, neither of us have ever taken the time to sit and watch one. It was a glaring gap in our \u2060Top 10: Foreign Films\u2060 episode, and we knew we had to make amends. So we found 10 highly-recommended movies spanning different genres, regions, and time periods in Indian cinema history. We were prepared for some foreign language movies but what we got can only be described as culture shock. We learned Bollywood is only a fraction of the industry, and some of these 10 aren't "Bollywood" at all. We learned some history of the country, people, and culture. We picked up on some major movie stars and different long running box office models. We even learned about how to play cricket and avoid taxes. Join us on this journey, and let us know what Indian films we should watch next!
