The period from 2016 to 2021 in Hindi cinema was marked by a shift toward high-concept storytelling, biopics, and gritty realistic dramas alongside traditional blockbusters. 2016: The Year of Biopics and Powerhouse Dramas
By 2018, the industry had found a balancing act. You had colossal hits like "Sanju" (a biopic that functioned as a star vehicle) and "Padmaavat" (a visual spectacle that clashed with political groups, yet emerged victorious at the box office). However, the real story was the explosion of offbeat gems. "Andhadhun" (2018) redefined the thriller genre with its pitch-black comedy and unpredictable twists. "Stree" (2018) proved that horror-comedy could be both intelligent and a box-office goldmine. In 2019, "Gully Boy" gave mainstream legitimacy to underground hip-hop, while "Article 15" offered a searing, unsettling look at caste violence, establishing Ayushmann Khurrana as the poster child of this new wave. index of hindi movies 2016 2021
