70 Iconic Films of Indian Cinema

Indian cinematic history is far older than independent India. In the 70 years of independence, Indian films have traversed their own journey—from individually funded, high-risk ventures to a systematic industry with an audience across the world. Nearly 2,000 films made in around 20 languages every year make India the world's largest film-producing nation. Here's a list of 70 iconic Indian films.
