5 Disturbing Hindi Movies Not for the Faint-Hearted

By
When it comes to watching movies, what matters most to me is the subject matter and the presentation, irrespective of the genre. If asked, I will label myself as a Horror/Mystery/Thriller movie fan, but whenever I get a chance, I try to explore beyond this pre-labelled territory. In the quest to watch some exceptional movies, I have encountered certain Hindi films that I wished I had skipped. These films are so disturbing that they literally mess up the mind. Before I start the list, here is a trigger warning: please avoid these movies at any cost if dark themes are not your choice.

5 Disturbing Hindi Movies Not for the Faint-Hearted:

1. Ugly: This 2013 movie, directed by Anurag Kashyap deals with real dirt on people's minds. The missing of a little girl becomes the core issue and an opportunity for people to seek benefits out of that grave situation. It's painful to watch how the actual crisis gets sabotaged under the different agendas of different people and leads to a heartwrenching climax. The film stars Ronit Roy, Rahul Bhatt, Tejaswini Kolhapuri and Sidhant Kapoor in the lead roles. This movie is dark disturbing and haunts you for long.



2. Love Sonia: This 2018 film has Mrunal Thakur, Rajkumar Rao, Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chaddha, Freida Pinto and Anupam Kher. When Sonia's debt-ridden father sells her sister to the local landlord, she makes it to Mumbai to rescue her at any cost. What follows is a sickening journey of Sonia into the dark world of prostitution and sex trafficking. The film has some incredibly vile characters and gruesome scenes, sometimes very difficult to watch.




3. Raman Raghav 2.0: Based on the serial killings of notorious serial killer Raman Raghav, this 2016 film has Nawazuddin Siddique playing the titular role along with Vicky Kaushal as a corrupt cop. Another masterpiece from Anurag Kashyap, this film is gory and violent and makes one wonder who the real criminal is, the hunter or the hunted?




4. Posham Pa: Suman Mukhopadhyay directs this 2019 thriller based on true serial killings during the 90s. It's a story of a mother and 2 daughters who can go to any height to get what they want. The actual events that took place in Maharashtra were considered to be one of the most gruesome serial killings in India. The film stars Mahie Gill, Sayani Gupta, Ragini Khanna, Shivani Raghuvanshi and Imaad Shah.




5. Titli:  A young man gets trapped in his hideous "family business", and all the more he wants to get away, the more he gets entangled. It's a situation of "you can run but not hide". Finally, he and his reluctant wife, who was having an affair with a married middle-aged man, somehow manage to get out of these complex situations.  This 2014 film has debutant Shashank. Arora and Shivani Raghuvanshi in lead roles.



Some other films that are also quite disturbing and dark are NH 10, Bulbull and Gulaal.

Feeling exhausted during the hectic week, well it's time to indulge in some me-time or we-time if you are a mom to a teenager or young adult. What better way to catch up with a movie with some coffee and snacks? Here is a list of movie recommendations from our side that are absolutely suitable to bring out the teenage girl in you: 1. The Princess Diaries: Anne Hathaway shines in this 2001 film, as Mia, a messy teenager who discovers that she is the only heir to the throne of Genovia. She undergoes a surprising transformation from a confused and shy teenager to a gorgeous, graceful woman. The movie has some fun moments and is a good venture to watch, especially because of the presence of Julie Andrews as Mia's grandmother, Queen Clarisse. If you like it and want to get more of Mia and her kingdom of Genovia, you can also watch the sequel from 2004. 2. Mean Girls: This is my favourite from the list. This 2004 film, starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachael McAdams and Amanda Seyfried is a

5 Old Movies That I Liked This Year

 Although I love watching films, I missed watching most movies released this year. However, instead I watched a lot of films that were released earlier. This list consists of films from various genres, and not just one particular. So, you will get one from your choice of genre for sure.  1. The Dressmaker : ( Drama, Dark Comedy) This 2015 film stars Kate Winslet as Tilly as a drop dead gorgeous dessmaker who returns to her Australian hometown long after she was evicted from there over false accusations. She changes the entire town's dressing sense from drab to fab within a short span, while taking care of her sick mother. The film is superbly stylish and smart, with some dark humour constantly lingering throughout it's runtime. Winslet simply owns the film. She is stunning, confident and yet vulnerable in times but the way she hides that part of her so skillfully, is what makes her one of the best actors of our times.  2. The Hating Game : ( Comedy, Romance) The 2021 movie has
