Bollywood Movies 2018

2018 was a year of success where new talents were encouraged and loved by the audience. Actors like Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmaan Khurana, Ranbir Kapoor were loved by the audience and equally applauded their work due to their choice of movies and acting skills. These actors were in Bollywood for a long time but these movies gave them recognition and opportunity to portray their skills. Bollywood greats like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, SRK majorly disappointed with their movies and were rejected by the audience. There were some movies which slipped under the radar like Manto, Soorma, Pari, Hichkki but were loved by the audiences who watched it. Debutants like Sara Ali Khan, Jhanvi kapoor, Ishaan Khatar were also loved by audience and have now generated their own fans. Women oriented movies like Raazi, Veere Di Wedding also came and equally loved by the fans and also dominated at the Box Office. Also this year majorly saw an emergence of web platform like Netflix, Amazon Prime where viewers have to pay and watch movies / web series which are barred from censorship. Sacred Games, Mirzapur, Mowgli, Breathe, Bose are some of the web series which were acclaimed and loved by the audiences. These platforms gave chance to viewers to watch their loved movies at their leisure time at their place and whenever they want. There are more series / movies coming to this platform and will be more loved in the years to come. More and more bollywood actors are going to web platform for the type of work which excites them. Regional movies, post Baahubali are been more loved by the audience. KGF Chapter 1 is such an example where a movie has been appreciated by the movie lovers. Marathi movies like Naal, Cycle, Mumbai Pune Mumbai 3 and many more were been equally loved by the audiences.

New age actors like Kartik Aryan, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmaan Khurana, Nawazzuddin Siddiqui are been loved, acclaimed, appreciated by the audience and are eager to watch their new movies which are coming through. 2018 was a breakthrough year for cinema lovers and here's hoping that 2019 will be another breakthrough year for Indian cinema with movies like Uri, Thackrey, DreamGirl, Made in China, Brahmastra and many more upcoming movies to release. So hoping to have a wonderful 2019 movie lovers.

Merry Christmas & Have a Happy New Year 2019..!!!!
