1. Gangs of Wasseypur

Anurag Kashyap brings his own reimagined version with remarkable cinematography which is magnified by Amit Trivedi’s music. 

3. Ugly

Perhaps the most under-appreciated film by Kashyap, this bone-chilling creation explores a kidnapping of a little girl which causes a rift between her father and stepfather when the two begin to accuse each other.

The dark and cynical approach of the film is complemented by Ronit Roy’s wonderful performance. Ugly is a kind of movie that will keep you hooked to the screen. 

4. Black Friday 

Black Friday recounts the events of the 1996 Mumbai Blast and its aftermath in a fictional setting. However, the references in the movie almost make it appear like a docudrama where the plot follows the police officials trying to chase the perpetrators.

Black Friday is Kashyap’s bold effort to bring to the screen sensitive events requiring a meticulous presentation. 

5. Manmarziyaan 

A change in the genre of the director, Manmarziyaan, released internationally as Husband Material, is a modern version of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam but in a more passionate and realistic setting.

With a stellar cast encompassing Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and Abhishek Bachchan, it follows the story of a young woman who is married against her wish and later finds a chance to reunite with her boyfriend.

6. Gulaal

A movie from his early days in the Bollywood Industry, Gulaal is a political drama involving student politics and the secessionist movement.

Piyush Mishra’s soundtrack and Kay Kay Menon’s performance enhanced the movie with a bold treatment of the plot. 

7. No Smoking 

No Smoking was made in the days when John Abraham took roles that everyone was hesitant to take.

One of the most underrated movies of Bollywood, No Smoking is a psychological thriller exploring a rehab where a man goes to quit smoking but ends up being blackmailed that his entire family will be killed if he smokes again. The plot is intense and the movie was far ahead of its time. 

8. Raman Raghav 2.0 

Another neo-noir that played the part of bringing Nawazuddin Siddiqui to the center of Hindi Cinema, Raman Raghav 2.0 is a story of a ruthless serial killer in Bombay who finds a companion in a cop Raghav who is chasing him.
