Five Best Hindi Films Of 2022

Team FC

An Action Hero

Anirudh Iyer’s debut film, An Action Hero is a pulpy love letter to cinema, with a twisty, slick, stylish, loud, brash, and often bizarre sheen, filled with fresh ideas and references to the present moment.

Badhaai Do

Shardul (Rajkummar Rao) and Sumi (Bhumi Pednekar), one gay cop, one lesbian PT teacher get married — a lavender marriage — so they can dust their parents off their backs, and live their separate queer lives at home.

Darlings

To understand just how clever, clutter-breaking and significant Darlings really is, imagine how frightfully wrong a Hindi ‘dark comedy’ about domestic violence could have gone in today's ultra-sensitive, trigger-happy, cancel-culture-riddled environment.

Gangubai Kathiawadi

A no-brainer, even while the film does not emerge among the top Sanjay Leela Bhansali films, it swims to the surface of 2022, by its sheer grandness, its insistence on beauty, on the textures and shades of white, and the forceful and career-defining performance of Alia Bhatt. 

RK/RKay

When art takes on a life of its own, what happens to the artist? In RK/ Rkay, actor-director Rajat Kapoor plays an actor-director, known as RK, who is making a film that is a throwback to vintage Bollywood movies.
