    1. Sharmaji Namkeen (IMDB Rating: 7.6/10)

    In his last film (which he could not complete, and Paresh Rawal was roped in to finish the shoot), Rishi Kapoor played Sharmaji, a widower forced to retire early. To combat post-retirement boredom, he tries his hands at cooking, only to discover that he is actually an amazing chef! However, his newfound success creates distance between him and his kids.

    1. Toolsidas Junior (IMDB Rating: 7.4/10)

    Mridual Mahendra wrote and directed this movie based on his own life, making this a real story movie in Bollywood 2022 on sports. The film focuses on Toolsidas, an expert snooker player. While his son wants him to defeat Jimmy Tandon and win a coveted tournament, Toolsidas fails to do so. The news leaves his son shattered, and he sets out on a quest to materialise his father's dreams.

    1. Jhund (IMDB Rating: 7.4/10)

    Nagraj Manjule is one of the most renowned directors in the Marathi film industry. This is his first Bollywood project. The film Jhund (the word translates to 'herd') depicts the story of Vijay Barse, a coach who has dedicated his life to football. Vijay takes up the task of rehabilitating a slum and uses sports to motivate the slum dwellers to lead meaningful, crime-free lives. Amitabh Bachchan delivers another power-packed performance in this movie with a strong social message.

    1. Vikram Vedha (IMDB Rating: 7.1/10)

    Based on the fable of Vikram and Betaal, this film is an official remake of the Tamil film Vikram Vedha (2017). Both films are directed by the filmmaker couple Pushkar and Gayathri. In this film, policeman Vikram, an honest man from Lucknow, is hellbent on putting an end to the conquests of Vedha, a notorious criminal. When Vedha turns himself into police custody and starts sharing his story with Vikram, it challenges Vikram's perceptions of what defines 'good' and 'bad'. Acclaimed as one of the best Bollywood action movies in 2022, Vikram Vedha is a must-watch for all thriller fans!
