Which are Bollywood's best thriller(genre) movies ever?
Bollywood has not been good at making good suspense movies. So many times the thrillers end up being a ripoff from a foreign film to the extent that you already know the content of the movie. Though there ain’t a lot of choices my favorite suspense movies are as follows :1. Jewel thief: Hands down the best Bollywood suspense movie I have ever seen is Jewel thief. Be it the impeccable performance from the cast or the scenic backdrop of Sikkim, everything fell into place. At no point, I could guess the suspense. The incredible music was icing on the cake. The movie is a timeless classic.2. Kahaani: After a long dearth of ripoffs there came a mainstream movie which felt original and equally entertaining. The ensemble star cast of Vidya, Nawazuddin, Parambrata, and Calcutta make it so believable. The movie is pure delight. Not to be missed.3. Manorama Six feet under: This lesser promoted movie at the time had all the ingredient for a good suspense thriller - an unknown terrain, lesser-known (well not very active in the recent times ) cast and totally unexpected story line. The small town worked like a charm and so does the Abhay Deol but the real hero was the good story line. Must watch.4. Ugly: This one is my personal favorite from all the movies that Anurag Kashyap has directed. The movie is more philosophical than adventurous. The movie deals with the Ugly side of the human nature amid a kidnapping backdrop. Like most of Anurag’s movies, the cast did a commendable job but watching Ronit Roy was the real deal. Totally worth it.5. Ittefaq (1969) : Back in the days when Yash Chopra used to direct a diverse variety of movies. This is one of the rare Hindi movie with no songs and captivating enough despite being shot in a limited area (one house for most of the time). Movie rode of the star power of Rajesh Khanna and superb performance by Nanda. After a very long time after I had watched the movie I came to know that this movie was a remake of British movie Signpost to murder.Peace
