7. Gully Boy
With its narration of the journey of a rapper from a slum in Mumbai to stardom, this film broke many records of mainstream Bollywood films. Zoya Akthar’s direction, Ranvir Singh’s acting, and 18-track album are highlights of the film. This movie was also India’s official entry for this year’s Academy Awards.
6. Game Over
Taapsee Pannu starrer, ‘Game Over’ is a 103 minutes drama-thriller that revolves around a game lover who is haunted by a mysterious intruder. Ashwin Srinivasan’s direction, Taapsee Pannu’s acting, and jaw-dropping sound mixing and background score make you watch this edge of the seat thriller.
5. Article 15
In a country where we are used to watching action movies centered on police, this film is an attempt to show a real-life cop who struggles with the system to bring the concept of equality in the mindset of villagers. The story, characters, Anubhav Sinha’s direction, and Ayushmann Khurrana’s performance deserve a special round of applause.

This movie tells the importance of caring and loved ones in a person’s life. Soubin Shahr as an irresponsible brother in this film brilliant. Performances of all the actors in this film are top-notch.
2 Jallikattu
This film directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery is probably one of the most unique attempt to show how the lives of many would change when an animal people depend upon for meat turns into a beast. With many sub-plots, sound design, cinematography, and editing, this 91 minutes movie sends out a strong social message to the audience.
