1. Kahaani
For those who missed this film, go watch it right away. It is the story of a pregnant woman who comes to India from London, in search of her husband, who nobody has seen. The climax of this film is so nicely done that you’ll be forced to applaud Sujoy Ghosh. With superb acting from Vidya Balan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, this film is definitely one of the best Hindi films.
2. Talaash
A cop, heartbroken because of his son’s death, investigates the death of a film star. During his investigation, he meets a sex worker who no one else seems to see. All these people are connected in a strange way which is ultimately revealed. Definitely a film to watch and one that will definitely mess with your head for a while.
3. Gupt
Governor Sinha is murdered and somehow, his son ( Bobby Deol) is the main suspect. Nicely blended with a love triangle, this is a film you would want to finish. This film was released in 1997 and was a commercial success with its music earning critical praise.
4. Karthik Calling Karthik
mastimovie.net
Sadly this film is known more for its songs and less for being a thriller. Karthik, a regular boy with a boring life starts receiving random calls from someone. The person on the other side of the phone resembles him and starts helping out Karthik with his existential crisis. But who is calling Karthik?
5. Kaun
Directed by Ram Gopal Verma, Kaun is surprisingly a no-nonsense film. A woman is watching the news about a serial killer running loose, when the door bell rings. The film is considered one of the best thrillers in Bollywood, especially because it had only 3 characters. We are not surprised that it was written by Anurag Kashyap.
6. The Butterfly Effect
There is a rare possibility that you will understand this film in the first go. Nevertheless, the story is about a guy who blocks harmful memories from his mind. He finds a way to remember those memories and change his life in supernatural ways. The concept is evolved from the chaos theory and this film will leave you thinking.
7. Gone Girl
An adaptation of the 2012 novel by Gillian Flynn, the film was absolutely mind blowing. On the 5th anniversary of Nick and Amy, Amy goes missing. This causes extensive media coverage and suspicions arise, leading to Nick being a suspect. You need to watch it to find out what happens next.
8. Memento
This is a Christopher Nolan movie, which gives you a good enough reason to not skip it. This film was loosely based on Nolan’s younger brother, Jonathan Nolan’s short story Memento Mori. A man finds out a strange way to remember things so he can knock down his wife’s murder without his short term memory loss coming in the way.
9. Source Code
A U.S. Aviation pilot finds himself in a commuter train to Chicago. To the world around him, he’s someone else. He figures out that he is a part of a governmental programme to find the bomber of the train he is on and that he has only 8 minutes to do so. Exciting, isn’t it?
