This is what I recall as of now… I will keep adding as and when I recall !
chak de india,3 idiots,swades?
I would like to see Saudagar (Nutan, Amitabh) on the list; remove DDLJ,maybe?
That just sounds very, very wrong coming from a girl with your name : )
Udaan and Maqbool in place of Band Baaja Baarat and kalyug !
UDAAN and BLACK FRIDAY can replace many in the list.
Add DCH as well
Pakeeza can be included. I dnt know whether I hate DDJL mroe or Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, (but considering their success, their place is justified) may be, band baaja aur barat!
Overall a good compilation but I have my disagreements
Movies that would have made my list but are not here – The Burning Train, Haasil, Sehar, Buddha Mar Gaya, Qatl, Rangeela, Don, Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander and few more
Movies that would not be in my list but are here – BBB, HAHK, OLLO, Pyasa, Kaminey, Omkara, Do Bigha Zameen, Mr and Mrs 55, Darr and few more
what problem do you have with anurag kashyap? hum aapke hai koun daale hue he. you like tuffy is it?
Khamosh and Parinda should be there….they show what a potentially thrilling director Vidhu Chopra is….we need more of him
rangeela ought to be there.what fine a film.ramu in creative viagra.
keep revisiting this list from time to time as i update my own watchlist of great hindi movies…
just watched hazaaro khwahishein aisi last night and was blown away….magnificent….dont know how I missed it…
