Now that all major releases of the year are done with, I am fairly comfortable charting out my list of best films from India. In the year 2022, movie buffs finally flocked to theaters (after a gap of nearly two years since the pandemic outbreak) and Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 revived the theatrical business for Hindi cinema. But the sequel to the Akshay Kumar-starrer 2007 original, came months after the commercial success of non-Hindi films in the traditional Hindi circuits across India.
Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was the first Hindi film to score a box office numbers in the same ranks as those of films such as KGF Chapter 2 and RRR. Before the horror-comedy, The Kashmir Files also made impressive figures at the box office but the film was marred with political controversies and the subject and its treatment in the film also made it impossible for The Kashmir Files to be bracketed as the typical Bollywood film.
