The reception and love it received from audiences worldwide were overwhelming.

To be on this list of IMDb is a massive validation, and I feel more energised as a filmmaker now.
#4 Leo
The list would feel lacking without the newest member of the intriguing Lokesh Cinematic Universe, which was preceded by Kaithi and Vikram. Vijay and Trisha play the main roles in the Tamil film Leo, which is an adaptation of the 1997 graphic novel A History of Violence and the 2005 English film.
#5 OMG 2
OMG 2 is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language satirical comedy-drama film.

#7 Gadar2
Gadar 2 is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language period action drama film.
When Gadar: Ek Prem Katha released in 2001, it revived Sunny Deol’s career. Years later, the sequel did the same, with the Ameesha Patel co-starrer taking the story forward from where the prequel left off.
#8: The Kerala Story
The Kerala Story is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Sudipto Sen.
Adah Sharma plays Shalini Unnikrishnan, a college student from Kerala who loses her identity, faith and life due to religious extremism. The film might have left the audience split, but the title was clearly popular enough to make the list.
#9 Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar
This Luv Ranjan rom-com left the audience split as much as his previous films did. Ranbir Kapoor plays a carefree businessman and womaniser, while Shraddha Kapoor plays an ambitious chartered accountant in this comedic film.
#10 Bholaa
Bholaa is the Hindi remake of the 2019 Tamil film Kaithi. Ajay Devgn plays a truck driver who has been released from jail but finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy much bigger than him. The entire story takes place in the span of a night.
