Pink starring Amitabh Bachchan has been voted the best film by IMBD. Going by the list, one can see that the audience has given preference to content-oriented stories over films with higher box office collections.

The film has Amitabh Bachchan as the lawyer and Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Andrea Tariang whose lives go awry after they meet a group of boys at a rock concert. A critique of how India looks at its women, the film was critically appreciated.
Airlift

Kapoor and Sons

Neerja
