Top 10 Hinglish Movies

Hinglish movies depict a more realistic view of the lifestyle of the modern India. When people speak they mix up English and Hindi; this is how the society has evolved. Not to forget the western connection and influence that almost everyone is having, a major reason that a greater population can relate themselves to these types of movies.

Out of all the hinglish movies that have been made so far let us talk about ones have topped the charts.

Bend it Like Bekham

It is the story of a young girl from a middle class Punjabi family, settled in London, desperate to make a career in soccer because she is a huge fan of Bechkam; while her mother freaks out at the very name of the game. Catchy Punjabi-Hindi-English dialogues were a quick hit with everyone.

Though high on comedy, the story is also about making dreams come true.

Slumdog Millionaire

With the Slumdog Millionaire, the category of hinglish film making achieved to new heights. Director Danny Boyle`s story of 3 slum kids received red carpet treatment worldwide. Tight plot and breathtaking cinematography are the star points of this flick.

Amritsar to LA

Based on the classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, the movie is a visual delight. The story travels from Amritsar to Britain and then to America. Directed by Gurinder Chadda, the movie tells story of a family living in Amritsar and having four daughters of marriageable age. It is a musical family drama.

Monsoon Wedding

There has been no better depiction of a modern day Indian wedding as done in the Monsoon Wedding. Apart from the fact that relatives come together to attend a wedding in the month of monsoon, the movie touches sensitive issues like sexual abuse in the family.

Being Cyrus

It is a very serious comedy. The movie is a 90 minute tightly packed story of complications in a Parsi family. The Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia starrer is a must watch.

Mitr, My Friend

It is a warm hearted tale of a middle- aged woman, her daughter and her husband. Starring Nasir Abdullan and Shobana, the movie is sure to strike cord with every couple, every mother and every daughter.

Mississippi Masala

It has interracial romance, comedy and drama- all elements of masala movie. So, I guess the name is justified. Extensive research by the director Mira Nair is visible in the movie.

Bollywood Hollywood

It was a hit in 2002 even though the story, with few changes, could have been made into a typical Bollywood film. But it falls well into the category of Hinglish movies because the story is based in Toronto and is about an Indo-Canadian family.

Bombay Boys

Made in 1998, this is unique film that tells story of three young men from different backgrounds and having different reasons to come to Mumbai. They meet each other for the first time at Mumbai airport and decide to take a place to live together. But soon things go out of control in the big city and they are in a mess.

Hyderabad Blues

Another movie that came out in 1998 was Hyderabad Blues. A sensitive movie which tells story of Varun Naidu (Nagesh Kukunoor), a young NRI who comes back to Hyderabad, his hometown, after 12 years and finds himself being treated like a foreigner.
