It is an approaching wrap for 2018, and when we count our blessings of the year, we must count Bollywood twice. Bollywood has given us a lot more than just entertainment. Bollywood is that part of our life which has given us life lessons. 2018 has been that year which is of paramount importance for Indian cinema. It has given us mega hits as well a few flops. Amidst all the humdrum of B town and the desperate lows and the immaculate highs of Bollywood, there emerged a few movies which went unnoticed.
Though the movies did not acquire the limelight, these underrated movies were that part of2018 which makes the year worthy of remembrance:
3 Storeys – Definitely Not A Waste Of Time

This Arjun Mukherjee movie gained zilch recognition at the box office. However, that does not take away from the feeling it left within us. This story within a story concept will keep you engulfed till the end. The movie has a neat direction and some great messages to convey.
Raid – The 90s Hero Has Not Gone Out Of Style Yet

Some might feel that Ajay Devgn should give it a rest, but Raid completely changed that line of thinking. This Rajkumar Gupta movie, starring Ajay Devgn and Illeana D’ Cruz in the pivotal roles, was amazing to say the least. The impeccable script and the thrill that the movie brings along with it were fabulous to say the least.
Omerta – The One Which Touches You Deep

We wonder why movies like this go unrecognized. This Hansal Mehta movie has the iconic Rajkummar Rao, and he plays the role of Omar Saeed Sheikh, a Pakistani terrorist. Hansal Mehta has given us some phenomenal movies like Aligarh, Shahid, and City Lights, and this one too was as phenomenal as the others. This gritty tale of revenge will keep you glued to your seats till the end.
Karwaan – Leaves An Indelible Mark On You

Directed by Akash Khurana, this film features the legendary Irrfan Khan. So it is needless to say that it is a great movie in its own sweet way. It is not a movie which needs undying attention. It is a movie which you can watch with a light heart, and that is the beauty of it. This introspective movie will make you relate to its storyline in some way and it is definitely worth a watch.
Kaalakaandi – One Of The Lesser Known Films Of The Nawab

Saif Ali Khan, like some of his movies, has been an underrated Khan. He might have chosen some wrong scripts in his acting career, but through his work, he has shown us that he is capable of a lot more than he is given credit for. Kaalakaandi, directed by Akshat Verma is one such tale which is combines the odd genres of thriller and comedy.
Beyond The Clouds – The One With An Intrepid Story

For all those who were a little doubtful about the future of Ishaan Khatter in Bollywood, you must watch Beyond the Clouds. This Majid Majidi movie is an amazing tale woven by drama and the ties that bind a brother to a sister.
If you haven’t watched any of these, you’re not doing justice to 2018.
