50 Best Bollywood Movies of this Millenium

The title doesn’t really do justice to this list, because the term “Bollywood” is not necessarily an accurate description of the entire cinema industry of India. But you get the gist of it.

Here’s a nice list of all Bollywood movies that were produced since 2000 and are considered as most popular in the ranks. If I missed out on something please don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments below.

This list contains block-busters based on box office details and general ratings, but also cult classics that weren’t so popular upon release, but are slowly being recognized by a minimum of 10,000 voters on IMDB (with at least a 6,0 rating).
