3 films in this canon are filed under Coming-of-age, running from 2009 to 2014. The highest-ranked is Udaan (2010) at #46 — A boy expelled from boarding school returns to a father who wants an engineer and a brother he never knew he had.
The genre is spread across the 2000s, 2010s, with Vikramaditya Motwane, Ayan Mukerji, Shonali Bose doing the heaviest lifting. Hindi cinema rarely respects a single genre for a whole runtime, so most of these titles are cross-filed — follow the tags on any film page to find its neighbours.
Every entry links out to Wikipedia, IMDb, a trailer and a legal streaming search. See also the full ranked 100 and how we scored them.
