Indian cinema produces hundreds of films every year, and many of the best ones are lost in the noise. These 25 films — spanning three decades, six languages, and every conceivable genre — represent work that was either ignored on release or undervalued by critics and audiences alike.
Some are independent films that never found distribution. Some are mainstream films that were ahead of their time. All of them are worth your attention — and a second chance.
Consider this a rescue mission. These films deserve to be seen.
