Watch out for these Top 10 criminally underrated Bollywood films: Delhi Belly, Andhadhun, Karwaan and more

10 offbeat films that did their own thing.

Bollywood has gifted us with several tales based on crime themes. From the era of black-and-white films to the present day, we have witnessed an avalanche of iconic crime mysteries. But let’s just do away with the typical item songs and awful kissing and look into these underrated top ten movies that didn’t do well at the box office but has a cult following.

Andhadhun

Andhadhun is an edge of the seat – intense – dark – subtle – true to the fact movie. Who knew Ayushmann Khurrana and Tabu could be such a deadly combination, not just for the viewers, but for each other. A movie that is beyond perfect!

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

This action cum comedy is a combination of Gulshan Devaiah’s dual role, an experimental script unlike anything else in Bollywood, and an endearingly sweet (if bloody) performance by Abhimanyu Dasani. A movie with its heart in the right place, and for a major portion even the script and screenplay too. No questions.

Go Goa Gone

An instant classic. Saif’s one-liners are still quoted to this day, and the general stoner vibe of the entire film is one we rarely see on the Indian big screen. We are still waiting for the sequel of this movie.

Karwaan

A movie that has Irfan Khan. The film’s dark comedy is onto showcasing some parts of three individuals lives which leads to self-discovery, love, death, the relation between us and our parents also their importance in our lives and identifying that we as humans are not as different from each other as we assume to be.

Blackmail

The plot of the movie revolves around an unhappy man who suffers from the burden of paying his monthly instalments, loans and EMIs and who suffers from a little more than undesirable married life named Dev whose only solace seems to be limited within the walls of a compartment in his office bathroom where he does the needful after stealing photographs of the wives of other employees. The movie features Kirti Kulhari and Arunoday Singh along with the ultimate star Irfan Khan.

Johnny Gaddaar

Neil Nitin Mukesh in the lead plays a gangster who decides to double-cross his entire crew in this neo-noir thriller. Later the situation goes awry. his plans to get away with the money and girl face devastating consequences.

Jhankaar Beats

The plot of the movie revolves around two best friends who offset corporate drudgery by participating in a band competition every year. Rahul Bose completely owns the movie. A gem of a movie that had an amazing cast, perfect dialogue delivery and honest humour.

99

This movie is ahead of its time. It starred Kunal Khemu and Cyrus Broacha. Raj and DK have done a Hatke work. All in all the movie is good, smart and quirky.

Being Cyrus

2005’s Being Cyrus was a dark and comedic thriller about family, betrayal, and love. Classic actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Boman Irani are just well fitted for their character and Saif Ali Khan manages to compliment them well. You cannot miss the rawness of the narration offered by the movie.

Delhi Belly

This movie gave birth to the iconic meme ‘Sir, yeh toh tatti hai’. The antics of Tashi, Arup, and Nitin have served us with rib-tickling comedy. Delhi Belly is unapologetically fun and something worth watching with your best buddies.
