nice list as a starting point, but as an Indian cinephile I find many critical and essential titles missing: G.Aravindan's work? Rabindra Dharamraj's Chakra? Avtar Kaul's 27 Down? and from modern indian cinema the most glaring omission: John & Jane! Would love to see these added.. thank you!

    Thanks Nalini, for your effort to make this a more comprehensive list. I tried adding a few of your suggestions as these are the films I appreciate too. There are many other outstanding Indian films which aren't yet listed in MUBI data base- for example: Jahnu Baruah's " It's a Long Way to the Sea" & "The Catastrophe", Aribam Shyam Sharma's "Ishanou" , Tapan Sinha's "Kabuliwala" & "Aaj Ka Robinhood" ....an endless list !!!

This is exactly the kind of list I've been looking for. Lots of Parallel Cinema on here, and I'm sure some well-meaning commercial works as well. Thanks much.
