Entertainment industries around the globe found themselves having to negotiate new realities in 2020. Bollywood was no different. The year started strong, with several high profile projects making it to movie theatres and receiving critical acclaim as well as box office success. However, as the pandemic rolled around and theatres shuttered, some blockbuster-style films ended up holding off theatrical releases altogether (such as the much anticipated Sooryavanshi and ’83—now slated for 2021 releases) while others went the streaming route. Here are our favourites of 2020 in no particular order!
