Here is the year-wise compilation of Bollywood movies I consider best. You are, however, free to suggest your preferences and I promise to include them in the list.
Friends, though I have made all efforts to track their year of releases, yet there may be some inadequacies which may be pointed out.
Till then … read the list, buy CDs, see them and N-joy…

Posted by Parmar | June 16, 2009, 10:14 amHey great list…Thanks
Posted by moneymanagement | November 3, 2008, 2:03 amI’m seriously NOT a fan of Raj Kapoor. So I don’t really watch his films.. But I have already seen all of the films listed.
Posted by Aparna | November 2, 2008, 7:38 amHi,
I am trying to remembera movie name (released between 1963-1965) starring Deb Mukherji which has the song “jab jab bahar aayee aur phool muskuraye, mujhe tum yaad aaye…..”.
can you help in identifying the name of the movie and can I get that song on the net?
Thanks
Posted by H C Sinha | May 24, 2008, 2:00 pmI think the name of the movie being inquired by Mr. H.C.Sinha here in the comments is “Taqdeer”. It’s a 1967 movie.
Posted by Pankaj | February 20, 2010, 5:14 pmThanks Pankaj. I had just forgotten to find out and post. I appreciate your gesture.

Posted by amit tyagi | February 25, 2010, 10:21 pmSir, I would like to add some of the good grossers for 2007 which are missing in your list. – TARE ZAMEE PER, NAMASTEY LONDON, WELCOME.
Thanx for updating we espians many of whom certainly are complete movies-buffs. I am definetely craving for some from the list which we just heard about.
Regards.
Posted by RITESH SINGH | March 14, 2008, 12:52 pm‘Don’ starrring AB is missing, released either in 78 or 77. 2006 was indeed a great year for movies in recent times. I would also recommend ‘Gangster’ starring Shiney Ahuja and Kangana Ranaut. This was better than ‘Fanaa’.
Posted by Kaushik K Mondal | March 14, 2008, 11:09 amDear Neeraj Bhai,
Nice to see the list of some momarable Hindi movies. What about making a list of “top 10 Hindi movies ever made”. I would love to see the fight among the best movies.
regards,
anwar
