Fantasy Films
2 films in the canon are filed under Fantasy, from 1958 to 2018.
2 films in this canon are filed under Fantasy, running from 1958 to 2018. The highest-ranked is Tumbbad (2018) at #49 — A cursed Maharashtrian family farms gold from the womb of a forgotten god, one greedy generation at a time.
The genre is spread across the 1950s, 2010s, with Rahi Anil Barve, Bimal Roy 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.
