Top 10 Bollywood English Movies Ever till 2022

Here are the Top 10 Bollywood English Movies that you must see: 
 

1.    Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (2002):

Starring Rahul Bose and Konkona Sen Sharma, it’s one of those films that don't age with time. The story that unfolds in the conditions of communal riots is about two strangers who are interdependent on each other for survival. This movie won’t just touch your heart, but it will also leave an ineffaceable mark on it. Additional bonus is the music given by Zakir Hussain.

2.    Hyderabad Blues (1998): 

Accept it or not, director Nagesh Kukunoor made this film in less than Rs.20 lakhs, and in just 17 days! The distributors had to even give away thousands of tickets free of cost before it became popular through word of mouth. Sooner or later this movie about a NRI who feels like an alien in his own homeland went on to become one of the utmost grossing low-budget Indian movies made in English.

3.    Monsoon Wedding (2001): 

A film about a big, fat Punjabi wedding could never be dull; and this one was a insurgence. No wonder director Mira Nair won the esteemed Golden Lion prize at the Venice Film Festival. As a matter of fact, the film got a Golden Globe nomination as well!

4.    Pazania (2007):

This movie is heart wrenching. Based on a real story, Parzania revolves just about a Parsi couple who lose their 10-year-old child to post-Godhra communal riots. The movie vividly depicts the agony of people who were directly affected by this massacre in the name of religion and revenge. It is a must-watch, for real.

5.    English August (1994): 

You can perhaps say that Dev Benegal paved the path for contemporary Indian cinema with this film. It is based on the book by Upamanyu Chatterjee, English August which depicts the experiences of a young IAS officer who could not relate to his job. To run away from reality he resorts to dope and sexual fantasies! Will he be able to pull himself back together? Well, that is a story you probably don’t want to miss.

6.    The Namesake (2006):
This Mira Nair film, which is actually based on a manuscript by Jhumpa Lahiri, tells a cross-generational tale of two cultures and a difficult one at that! What happens when Indian immigrants are trapped between tradition and modernity? How do immigrant kids find their identity? The film also deals with subjects like arranged marriage, adultery, death of a parent etc.

7.    Bombay Boys (1998): 

Bombay Boys is one of the most eccentric films to have come out of Indian cinema. Director Kaizad Gustad accurately plays with fire by highlighting subjects like racial and sexual stereotypes through this movie. The story revolves around three NRIs who come to Bombay either in a hunt of their roots or to accomplish some dreams; although will they survive this brutal city?

8.    Being Cyrus (2006): 

Homi Adajania made his directional debut with this amazing psychological thriller. The story revolves around a dysfunctional Parsi family and how their lives revolve upside down after letting a stranger into their house. Saif Ali Khan gives a wonderful performance in this movie, but Boman Irani certainly takes the cake.

9.    15 Park Avenue (2005): 

This Aparna Sen movie is amazing to say the least, plus achingly beautiful. The film is about a young schizophrenic woman who comes to think that she and her husband, together with their five children, they all reside at 15 Park Avenue! Shabana Azmi’s character of an elder sister who has to put her own life on hold to take care of her, is extremely moving.

10.    Loins of  Punjab (2007):

The film is a comical take on the popular singing reality shows – American Idol and Indian Idol. This talent hunt is taking place in a little town in New Jersey, and unneeded to say all the NRIs are making a run for the title of “Desi Idol”! First time as a director, Manish Acharya makes a superb debut.
