    One correction: Masaan didn't lead to a resurgence of grounded movies in India. Movies like Masaan have existed in India for decades, going back to the 50s, most of them with a larger impact than Masaan. If anything, Masaan, Lootera, Titli came at the tail end of the last such wave in Hindi cinema.

      While these sort of slow dramas have always existed for a long time in Indian cinema, movies like Masaan were still very important to bringing them to the forefront, as it was during the mid 2010s where movies like these caused a shift in audience perspective and caused more and more studios to make such slow and story or character focused movies. However, it seems like the 2020s has again shifted tides with the growing popularity of mass movies, leading to fewer such movies getting big and the industry again prioritizing large scale action mass movies.

      @@adizcool2-655 if you ask anybody who made those movies from 2005 to 2015, they will point at Govind Nihalani, Shyam Benegal, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Girish Karnad, Mani Kaul, G. Aravindan, Mrinal Sen and so on. Let's not erase a large chuck on Indian cinema out of ignorance. Masaan never had the impact of something like Manthan. Mammo, Train to Pakistan, Sardari Begum, Raincoat, all kept coming out. It only died out mid-2010s, not the other way around.

    Fun fact about lunchbox
    Lead actor Irrfan khan rejected to star in christopher Nolan's masterpiece Interstellar in favour of this.
    And while I think he should have accepted to star in Interstellar but choosing to be here makes much better sense as Nolan would ultimately kill him for no reasons.

    I would recommend "pyaasa" (1957) and aawara (1951). Both are the gems of the older indian cinema.
    Awara was a massive hit worldwide, in that era, even including places like china and ussr.

    Kishkinda khaandam
    Drishyam
    Aavesham
    Kumbalangi Nights
    Manjummel Boys
    The goat life
    Brahmayugam
    Premalu

    I loved a movie called 'Trapped' .
    Rajkumar Rao delivers a jaw-dropping performance, making you feel every ounce of his fear, frustration, and desperation. The movie is simple but powerful-just one man, one apartment, and the fight to stay alive. It’s not just a movie, it’s an experience that sticks with you. If you love thrillers, it’s a must-watch.

    Older ones have a ton of gems. one can say that golden period of indian movies lies back in the day when they were willing to take more risks over regular action-romance-comedy that dominated from 80s-90s era
    For a little bit older, try- Swades, Rang De Basanti, Dangal, Hera Pheri (2000 one), Go Goa Gone (last one is just stupid comedy, but its fun)
    For quite a bit older, try- Pyaasa, Mera Naam Joker and Sholay. Sholay is classic 7 samurai/western inspired movie. But it has an indian blend to it and honestly, its among, if not the most popular hindi movie ever

    Adding everything here to my list (been meaning to watch Tumbbad)! A few Tamil movies I'd recommend:
    1. Super Deluxe:
    An anthology film spanning multiple storylines (and genres!) that eventually converge.
    2. Kaithi
    A convict who was just freed and on his way to see his family gets embroiled in a job to help the police.
    3. Otha Seruppu
    A chamber piece, where a murder suspect explains his methods to the police.
    4. Maharaja
    The less said about this one the better (don't want to risk spoiling any twists) - a barber seeks vengeance after his home is burglarized, telling the police his "lakshmi", a garbage can, has been taken.
    I'm Tamil myself, but grew up on Hollywood films, and only just started reconnecting with my Tamil roots through cinema. =)

    Thank you for your list, I added some to my watchlist.
    You asked for recommendation, so here is mine for slow burn, story driven Indian movies additionally for others' recommendation (Drishyam is great!):
    - Pather Panchali (1955, Bengali)
    - Sholay (1975, Hindi, Western movie loosely inspired by Kurosawa's 7 samurai)
    - Elements trilogy by Deepa Mehta (hard to find)
    - Black (2005, Hindi)
    - Taare Zameen Par (2007, Hindi)
    - Barfi! (2012, Hindi)
    - Habaddi (2019, Marathi)
    - Super Deluxe (2019, Tamil)
    - Kumbalangi Nights (2019, Malayalam)
    - Nasir (2020, Tamil)
    - Vadh (2022, Hindi)
    - Laapataa Ladies (2024, Hindi)
    - Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life (2024, Malayalam)
    Can someone recommend me Telugu and Kannada movies in this genre (story driven, slow burn, no violence)? I watched mainly their mainstream big hits, action dramas.

    Maharaja ( another recent banger )
    Mardaani ( a crime thriller both mardaani 1,2 are equally good the 2 nd movie villain bro that little boy nailed that role )
    Ratsasan ( another crime thriller )
    Gangs of wasseypur 1,2 ( oh boy it's a raw super realistic mafia movie )

    I used to put on a lot of Bollywood stuff when I couldn't sleep back in the day, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you what any of those films were called. There's been a lot of great stuff coming out of India for ages though, & it's honestly hard to go wrong with anything that's achieved an international release.
    My recommendation, certainly if you enjoyed RRR, is the Dhoom trilogy (but especially the first two; the pacing is a little weird on the third). They're not quite as over the top & they're heist films at heart, but they're just joyfully silly in a similar way to The Fast & The Furious if that took itself a lot less seriously. I'm not sure they'd hold up to detailed analysis, but for something to feed your eyes & your adrenal glands, they'll do a very good job.

    You need to watch Malayalam movies. They make the best movies in India. Nothing over the top, just pure kino. 2024 has been especially good for Malayalam cinema to the extent that a Malayalam movie is one of the frontrunners for the Oscars this year - All We Imagine As Light.
    Since it's only the 4th largest film industry in India, it does not get much pan-India attention but quality wise Malayalam film industry is the best in the country.

      I have watched 123 malayalam movie so far in my life although its low in num but I have never rated any malayalam movie below 6/10..... Most of them are 8...
      Watch Bramhayugam from this year... its great and it has superstar Mamootty.... He is one of the greatest actor of India......
      and my total movie watched count currently is 3863 as of yesterday wanted to crossed 4000 this year but anyway.... And this year I have watched total 387 and there is still a week left before 2025 so it might cross 400... I just love cinema.... Not to say any form of art... My anime watch list is over 1000 btw but there are still thousands of more to watch....

    A Wednesday (Bollywood )is fantastic watch. It's a thriller where a man has bom* plant all over mumbai and has cat and mouse chase with the police.
    In same spirit, Drishyam (malyalam) and Kaithi (Tamil) follows. Drisham though has who did it factor meanwhile Kaithi with it's non linear plotline keeps the suspense intact.
    In older movies, Kaun (Bollywood) had me in chills.

    10. Nayattu (Cop Thriller)
    11. Minnal Murali (Comedy/Action)
    12. Drishyam (Drama/Thriller) - watch the 2013 Malayalam version, not Hindi or any other
    13. Aatam (Drama)
    14. Ishq (Romance/Drama/Thriller - see only the 2019 Malayalam version, not any other)
