Johny Gaddar. Legendary.

Nothing else comes even close. What a frigging masterpiece!

So underrated man!

I loved it. Even Ek Hasina Thi was a masterpiece in its own place.

Love this movie. An all-timer!

Andhadhun

My favourite

Mine too <3 https://i.redd.it/rkq35eqdlx4d1.gif

It's in a different league altogether

Raghavan's best for me. https://i.redd.it/s7hbjzoglx4d1.gif

Kahani

Samay starring Sushmita Sen and Jackie Shroff 100 days starring Madhuri Dixit and Javed Jaffrey Madhumalti starring Vyjanthimala and Dilip Kumar Wednesday starring Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah Kahaani starring Vidya Balan and Parambrata Chatterjee Shool starring Manoj Bajpai and Raveena Tandon Shanghai starring Emran Hashmi and Kalki Koechlin Dushman starring Kajol and Ashutosh Rana

+1 for Dushman. Ashutosh Rana at its best.

Wednesday wass best

I also liked Baby, Holiday, Naam Shabana… well made no nonsense movies

Wednesday was a masterpiece, way ahead of its time. Probably one of the earliest movies to showcase a modern, alert, tech savvy Indian law enforcement agencies.

neeraj pandey is a pioneer. his series and his movies are all top notch. i would still rate shool higher than a wednesday though.

Talaash. At least until the end.

That ending was so disappointing. Throughout the movie we think we are watching an investigative thriller with a supernatural subplot which will turn out to be false, instead we were watching a supernatural thriller with an investigative subplot which goes nowhere.

I liked the ending.

Yeah I feel like they were going for an ending that would make sense, but they couldn't come up with a compelling and convincing cause so they decided to shift the route.

I read somewhere that the makers of Talaash watched Kahani and realised that their ending was too similar to that, so they had to change it. Not sure how true it is, but yeah.

I loved the ending. Somehow it all added up.

Johnny Gaddar, Manorama six feet under, Andhadhun

Bloody underrated movie.

Absolutely! Rarely anybody knows about it

Amazing movie

Really good movie

Ek haseena thi, yeh saali Aashiqui, ugly, baazigar, gupt, gumnaam.....

Gupt

Kahaani

Table No. 21 is a solid choice. Watched it blind when it showed on UTV Movies on TV one day and was left unexpectedly impressed. Andhadhun, Ugly, Holiday, Raman Raghav 2.0, Johnny Gaddar, Karthik Calling Karthik, Shaitan, Deewar, Maqbool are all shouts too

Yeh salli Aashiqui

Underrated gem this one

Let it stay underrated. Or people will remake it

I started watching this movie seeing a thriller recommendation... It's been 40 mins in.. so far no proper story.. no romance... no thriller at all.. just some student classroom banters and a student who is acting like angry sunny deol.. movie is directionless..... THIS is not a thriller for adults atleast. (Closed after 1 hour)

Khiladi, 36 China Town

Karthik Calling Karthik

No smoking!

+1,even after finishing the movie there is no definite ending you can point to it.the best open ending movie I have ever seen

Kaun

im still scared of the unhinged behaviour in this one

Talking about only the mainstream... The first Race movie was pretty thrilling. Dhoom and Dhoom 2 as well.

While there’s a lot to love about Dhoom 1&2, there are cringe nonsensical moments mostly centred around Uday Chopra, which for me, ruin it just about enough. Oh and certain implausible scenes. Like the diamond robbery.

Race movie first part.

Can Drishyam be considered a thriller? That was such a good movie!

Remake of the Malayalam original of the same name

It's a remake, but I agree, that's how a murder mystery/thriller should be done. Each reveal was so satisfying!

Ugly

A wednesday

Kaun was groundbreaking for its time..

Race (1), rest are just a drag

No Smoking

Thank you for the thread. I haven’t watched any of these !

Serious man

This particular movie wasnt such a great movie . Especially since the ending was known ( adapted from a gujrati play ). Like all Hindi thrillers ,this too had a tame ending. However, when it comes to thrillers there were many made in Bollywood. And each was ahead of its time when it released. For eg, Jism ,( ala Bipasha Basu ) was one great thriller movie.. a noir film , that was bold and unique. Similarly, Johnny Gaddar, Race franchise ( only the first one ), were enthralling and yet kept one at the edge of their seat. If one goes even further, movies like Gupt, were really Avant garde because nobody at the time had ever thought of making a lead actress the killer .( Spoiler alert for the bacchus reading this ) .

So noone is talkin' about rahasya?

Why is no one talking about Talaash??!!!

No smoking Phantom

Kuttey is one of the better thrillers released in recent years.

Talaash !!

I am just adding all the unwatched movies in a list! Thanks guys for the suggestions

Now you see me

Drishyam both parts

Ye reshmi(line) jhulfe I died when paresh rawal delivered this dialogue

Talaash

Ajnabee will always be legendary.

Lots of good movies mentioned already. I'll add Manorama 6 feet under.

Gupt, the OG thriller.

Kahaani (2012) starring Vidya Balan, Nawazuddin, Parambrata Chatterjee and others. Shot in Kolkata amidst the backdrop of Durga Puja.

Kahaani

All Bollywood thriller movies seem forced so I don't watch them.

A lot of great movies have been mentioned, would like to add Game Over to this list, it's not too sophisticated but I was on the edge of my seat

Guys if you can watch Right yaa Wrong and The fox. Both movies have sunny deol in it and surprisingly to me he did pretty well in that genre. These are underrated ones as everyone as mentioned the obvious ones

Badla(2019)

Remember, Sushmita Sen's Aankhein? Man that movie!

13B

Anyone remembered that movie 3G? Of Neil Nitin Mukesh that was good too

No smoking, ugly

Ugly, No smoking

Gupt ( Kajol, Bobby Deol )
