Alex Ellis, the British High Commissioner to India, is searching the Internet for Hindi movie recommendations.
What recommendations did you receive?
He gave a summary of the Hindi films he had seen. In addition to sharing the titles of these movies on X, he also urged users to recommend other “must see” movies they should watch.
Ellis tweeted: “Hindi film fans, after the ups and downs of Sholay, Gangs of Wasseypur and Chupke, Chupke, what should I watch next? What is an essential Hindi film to watch? And yes, I have seen Lagaan.” And no, I’m not going to quote it… PS. I recently watched and liked Jaane Jaan.”

Don’t waste your time watching current Bollywood movies. Watch Bollywood movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
