Indie-Films, i.e., individual films and non-commercial/ experimental films - all belong to the category of art films. We have compiled an index of 10 Hindi art films that are a feast for the eyes and the mind.

Many Bollywood movies are overrated like Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Vivah, Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mei, and many more. All these movies have the same themes. They are famous because they sell well, the Indian audience raves about them and most of the big producers make them as Dharma productions.

Many Bollywood movies are not marketed properly and are not shown properly to the audience but they are great.

They are real fuel for our minds and soul, food for thought, thought-provoking, and entertaining at the same time. But due to less budget, problems in the market, less awareness, and less support, these films are getting under the rock.
