Indian movies are a special genre of cinema. Bollywood makes over 1,000 feature films annually, which is unreachable for Hollywood. Most of these films are almost impossible to watch for the Western audience. However, some very good ones are slowly but surely bleeding into streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Video. These movies have fascinating plots, choreography, stunt work, and incredible actors.

1. RRR (2022)

RRR is an action-filled adventure about a policeman named Rama and a guy from the Gond tribe Bhim, who came to Delhi looking for a woman kidnapped by the governor.
