Hindi films and the box office calculations are sometimes hard to understand. You have no idea why some films become instant blockbusters despite having no interesting story. At the same time, many films tank at the box office and are taken off theatres within days of release, even if they carry a brilliant story. Some films fail to run in the theatres but remain cult even after ages. You cannot resist praising these films after you watch them. Here are 5 Hindi Underrated Films You Must Watch.

Taxi No. 9211
Based on the 2002 American film Changing Lanes, Taxi No. 9211 is a 2006 comedy thriller that brilliantly displays street rage. Directed by Milind Luthra and produced by Ramesh Sippy, it is a story about a taxi driver and a rich, spoilt kid. The crux of the story is how one incident changes their lives.
Nana Patekar and John Abraham are brilliant in their roles. While Nana brings the typical Mumbaikar auto driver swag, John perfectly fits the role of Jai, a greedy, spoiled kid. Both have their problems to deal with, and they intensify when they cross paths.

No Smoking
Another fabulous film of John Abraham is No Smoking, directed by Anurag Kashyap. Ayesha Takia, Ranvir Shorey, and Paresh Rawal play pivotal roles. No Smoking is a dark and unusual story that came ahead of its time. The story revolves around a narcissistic and arrogant chain smoker who heads to a rehab center to quit smoking and takes a significant turn from thereon. What follows later keeps us on the edge of our seats.

Ab Tak Chappan
Nana Patekar unleashed the intense and intriguing actor in him in Shimit Amin’s crime drama Ab Tak Chappan. Released in 2004, the movie has several goosebumps moments throughout. Coming from the school of Ram Gopal Varma, the film is inspired by Mumbai Police Officer Daya Nayak, an encounter specialist. Nana Patekar plays the protagonist, Inspector Sadhu Agashe, who has a reputation for killing 56 people in multiple police encounters. Besides Nana Patekar, Revathi and Yashpal Sharma played pivotal roles in the film.

Dev D
Dev D is another of Anurag Kashyap’s films on the list. A modern portrayal of Devdas, the film highlights love, pain, and suffering. While Devdas in Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel is addicted to alcohol after being loved and lost, the protagonist in this film takes solace in drugs and alcohol. His love with Paro and his relationship with Chanda is riveting.

Aamir
Raj Kumar Gupta’s ‘Aamir’ is a well-made action thriller. Rajeev Khandelwal received critical praise and acclaim for playing the London-based Dr. Aamir Ali, who is returning to Mumbai on vacation. Upon his arrival, he is forced to follow instructions from an unknown caller, which turns his life upside down.
