The fact that Arati Kadav’s Cargo is a rarer bread in traditional Hindi cinema only goes to show how the Indian audience is still reluctant to accept things beyond their decadence. Powered by an enchanting performance by Tripti Dimri, Bulbbul might not manage to juggle through its purposely complex narrative that throws away two narrative strands, but the sheer will to hinge something like this on the screen must be applauded.

The lensing, production design, and sound-mix cleverly weave a thread of folk-horror while grounding all the visual grandeur in a palpable and urgent tragedy. With lyricist Anvita Dutt at the helm, Bulbbul‘s flawed and occasionally problematic narrative is glossed over by technical wizardry like no other. BulbbulĪn anti-fairytale at its very core, this feminist fable is arguably the most gorgeous looking thing to have come out of Hindi cinema all year. And Shoojit Sircar’s ‘ Gulabo Sitabo,’ a feud between humans nature’s opportunistic gaze and materialistic wishes that leaves its characters ashtray when the themes get too heady. Nicholas Kharkongor’s ‘ Axone,’ a delightful reworking of breaking stereotypes that ends up creating some of its own. Vikramaditya Motwane’s ‘ AK vs AK,‘ which somehow gets lost in its seemingly clever meta-experiment. Anurag Kashyap‘s demonetization drama ‘ Choked‘ where a story of a crumbling marriage gets sidelined by an overbearing socio-political metaphor. Honorable Mentions: Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari ‘s ‘Panga’, an absorbing sports drama about motherhood and second chances spoiled by abhorrent editing choices.

The only reason they don’t feature here is their presence on my list of the best Hindi films of 2019. So much so that the last few titles on this list can be easily interchanged with each other or the ones that have made it to the honorable mentions.īefore we get to the list, I would like to clarify that Prateek Vats’s ‘ Eeb Allay Ooo!,’ Devashish Makhija’s ‘ Bhonsle‘ and Rohena Gera’s ‘ Sir‘ were released to the general populace this year. The 10 Best Hindi Films Of 2020 list is thus an amalgamation of the least-bad ones this year. Personally, I missed watching a Hindi film in the cinemas as much as I missed dissing them. Some film productions were shut mid-way, some were scrapped because there were not enough resources to put them out on the floors and some were indefinitely postponed as we no more had the means to see them in the exact way they were meant to be seen. In a year where we spent most of our time inside the comfort of our homes, the cinema industry was reeling a grave loss too.
