This list is of my all time favorite Hindi movies and yes I might have missed a few.
This video is the greatest inspiration behind this post, as many people were in doubt if we ever made anything worthwhile.
Considering the high-quality (and youtube-HD) rubbish that our industry produces these days, you can always go back to these movies.

Because every human body is transmitter and receiver; you meet strangers, talk to them, make new friends- what else do we need.
Zindagi kaisi hai paheli
