Lunchbox will go down as a cult classic because for an indie movie, it was so well received that it got multiple producers on board to expand it's release

Acc to me, the top 5 game-changers would be DDLJ, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Lagaan, Dil Chahta Hai, 3 Idiots

I agree with both Hindi and Telugu lists. I’ve seen them all. In fact I’m a big Chiranjeevi fan. So, I might put in Gangleader instead of Baahubali 2
Sholey, DDLJ, Lagaan, 3 Idiots- This 4 are definately major ones for changing prospect of Hindi Cinema...then near 2000 there quite few which were not huge blockbuster like these 4 ... but important for change in Hindi Cinema i..e Vicky Donor ( by Aayushman Khurana introducing new prospect for Commercial Movies on Social/Realistic Issues}.. Dil Chahta Hai/ZNMD- Farhaan/Zoya Akhtar- Good movies on simple /normal topics can be made without mellodrama and without making it looks very artsy..

1. Awaara - Raj Kapoor. It’s included in Times 100 All time greats.
2. Sholay - Best entertainer
3. Deewar - Angry young man
4. DDLJ - Romance
5. 3 Idiots - Aamir as a brand

True!
I cannot imagine how Aamir, while working on Dil Chahta Hain and Lagaan also made Mela the dud ..
Remember the song - dekho 2000 zamana Aagaya 🤣🤣

Iconic movie you haven't watched is Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.. first hindi movie without violence.
Instead of Gangs, it will be Satya ..
SLB movies are its own genre. Nobody has been able to make his grandeur and his influence is Mughal E Azam and Lata Mangeshkar for his music

You guys should watch Ghayal for Sunny Deol as well as to know a movie which defined action genre in Hindi for a decade.

Mother India, Sholay, Ghayal, Hum aapke hai Kaun, DDLJ all led to countless copies in bits and pieces. For characters nothing comes close to Gabbar. There are lot of others but Gabbar Singh is different level.

Also, fun fact: Raju Hirani was developing a Munna Bhai 3, which was supposed to be set in America, but had to shelve it, as he found the plot to be too similar to My Name Is Khan.

It’s been a while since y’all have seen it, but I would 100% include Dil Chahta Hai as an important landmark and definitely changed things for Hindi cinema. It was a refreshing take on Bollywood, didn’t have the conventional plot lines or melodrama, and had a non-linear narrative which was not the norm back then.
