The pandemic has changed the world around us. The case is no different for Bollywood films. The days of a classic masala rom-com ensuring box office success are long gone. With OTT establishing itself as a major player in recent times, even small-budget films are finding platforms and audiences.
Instead of the usual song-and-dance routine, the viewers now look for realistic narratives, a carefully picked cast, and good direction. Here are a few films that appear to have it all for the year 2022. Which of them piques your interest the most?
