The year 2018 saw several content-driven films being appreciated by the audience and viewers alike. We saw several filmmakers experimenting uninhibitedly and offering some unique and fresh content to the viewers. Small-budget films did wonders at the box office, while some films despite featuring some of the biggest stars, tanked at the box-office.
Anurag Kashyap took to the micro-blogging site and shared a list of Bollywood films that released last year which made him jealous as a filmmaker. In short, we can say that the filmmaker shared a list of films that he absolutely loved.
You can check out the ‘Manmarziyaan‘ director’s list below:

So films like Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Mulk’, Amit Sharma’s ‘Badhaai Ho’, Sriram Raghavan’s ‘Andhadhun’, Shoojit Sircar’s ‘October’ and several others left Anurag Kashyap impressed. The filmmaker also expressed his happiness over the fact that so many varied types of films were made in recent times. Later, the director also added Vishal Bhardwaj’s film ‘Pataakha’ to his list.

Further revealing the details of the reason behind making this list, Anurag said that these films made him ask himself, “Why didn’t I see it that way?”
You can check out Kashyap’s tweet about the same below:

We completely agree with Kashyap that all these films were really something new offered by our filmmakers. These films will definitely help in paving the way for other filmmakers to break the mould and think out of the box.
