AnksReview - Top 10 Hindi Film of 2019

A Happy New Year to everyone and now It's time for me again to come up Top 10 Hindi movies of the year 2019 which made the mark by its contents, story-telling method, acting performance, and overall movie watching experience.

The list is prepared and put in order of Rank and was selected based on the overall experience of movie watching, story, screenplay, direction, and entertainment quotient as well.

1. Gullyboy

Gully Boy is a story about a struggling poor young guy from Mumbai's slum who is trying to make end meet and get into the world of a street rapper. The movie shows how to pursue your dreams is more important than anything and passion & hard work pays off. The movie is another feather in the crown for Zoya Akhtar who always delivered wonderful movies and kudos to all actors especially Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, and Vijay Raaz. This one is indeed the best movie of 2019 from all aspects.

2. Super 30


Super 30 is a biographical movie directed by Vikas Behl based on the life of Anand Kumar from Patna who started an IIT entrance test coaching class for 30 poor students free of cost. The movie is about his own struggle and how with all adversaries he become one of the most successful teachers who delivered a 100% result all the time. The movie was a come back for Hrithik Roshan with his flawless acting and the way he immersed himself in the character of Anand Kumar.

3. Article 15



Article 15 is a story about social issues such as cast discrimination that our country has been facing since a long time.  It's a very well crafted story with superb direction by Anubhav Sinha set up in the backdrop of a village of UP. Ayushmann Khurana played an IPS officer who hails from metro town with utmost sincerity. This is a dark movie about the reality of our society.


4. Uri: The Surgical Strike
Very rare we see a movie of army and war events without being too emotional and melodramatic and Uri: The Surgical Strike is such a movie where movie making is amazing, real and keeps you on the edge even when you know what will happen next. This is a very well made movie with high-class action and not to miss an awesome performance by Vicky Kaushal who carried this movie in his shoulder.

5. Bala
Bala is a movie about a boy from Kanpur who gets into the problem of baldness at a young age and which makes him insecure among people as he relates all his problems of life on baldness. The movie is funny to the core and carries a soul that keeps it special. This is another one of Ayyushmann's movie in the list of Top 10 and you will realise no one else can pull this role the way Ayyushmann did it backed with the superb direction of Amar Kaushik and acting performance by Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam.

6. Soni

Soni is a Netflix film directed by Ivan Ayr. based on crime drama focussing on Delhi Police and Women Safety issues in the backdrop of all Gang Rapes cases in the capital. The movie goes deep into how women are treated in social as well as at work with discrimination and being objectified on a daily basis. This is a dark movie that will shake your conscious by showcasing the ugly reality of our society. 

7. Section 375

Section 375 is a courtroom drama directed by Ajay Bahl and based on a rape case where a film crew member is allegedly raped by the director of the film. The movie is well researched and provides a legal angle on how such cases are being dealt with in a real manner starting from the police investigation, public outrage, #MeToo campaign, consent and legal perspective about the same. The strength of the movie is its treatment with the subject and great performance by Akshaye Khanna and Richa Chadda.

8. Sonchiriya

Sonchiriya is a film directed by Abhishek Chaubey set in ravines of river Chambal valley. It tells the tale of dacoits in 1975, who termed themselves Baaghis, the rebels and how a gang who feel cursed by one killing incident in the village. The movie has amazing shots and sequels which stays with you even after you watch the movie. It has an ace performance by every cast and the one which stands out is Manoj Bajpayee, Ranveer Shorey, Sushant Singh Rajput, Bhumi Pednekar and Ashutosh Rana. 

9. Mission Mangal

Mission Mangal is a movie based on the event of India Mission to Mars and how our space scientist with all red-tapism, limited resources makes it to Mars. The movie is a good tribute to scientists though as per me it has trivialised the subject by putting unnecessary humor and references which made me kind of undecided to put it on the list however it makes it here because of its entertainment quotient and comparison with other movies released in 2019.

10. Badla

Badla is a well-crafted mystery thriller directed by Sujoy Ghosh and a remake of the Spanish movie "The Invisible Guest". The movie is about an accident and a mystery related to it and how it unfolds as the movie progress as it throws various twist and turns as well as possibilities. The movie is a scene by scene copy of a Spanish movie however the direction and performance make it entertaining, that's the reason it is at no. 10.

I believe this was hard to select and drop a few however here are the few which I think still deserve good watch in the year 2019.

The Sky is Pink

The Sky is Pink a heart touching true story of a family who has been suffering from a medical crisis of their daughter who was diagnosed with SCID. This indeed a good movie and may deserve up their by replacing a few last ones.

Chhichhore
A movie about college students and it's hostel life. It was full of laughs however lacked overall finesse on the treatment of story to make it to the list.

The Tashkent Files
The Tashkent File was another strong story and good movie however it lacked finesse and had a loose screenplay to make it to top 10.

Do let me know about your Top Movies.

  1. I think movie Kabir Singh deserves a spot in that list too, one of the top grosser in 2019. But fairly agrees on rest of the list ��.
