I think there some more movies shot in india. City of joy The Japanese wife The bengali night Heat and dust Junoon Many more. Now the latest trend is Web series on amazon prime india. Lots of new contents are available in this platform.

[@srinivasp2402]

@@cosmicworld5665 Excellent list. Not at this level, but how about Chetan Bhagat's 2 States and Manoj Kumar's Purab Aur Paschim would give an insight to the cultural ethos??

[@game_maniac2404]

there are many , a heck of a list. keep enjoying in India.

[@bjenks]

Those are some good ones, there are a lot more. I included mostly Hollywood movies too and there are lots of great Indian-made movies

Mission Impossible : Rogue nation also shot in Kashmir and leh which highest altitude.

[@bjenks]

Oh cool, thanks for sharing

[@kanishkx]

No its not shot in Kashmir

[@lokeshwaranvr]

Mission Impossible: Fallout was set in Kashmir but it was actually shot in New Zealand!

[@lunachakraborty6211]

So thrilled for your recommendation to include "Pather Panchali". This classic is a must watch. Proud Bengali here🙏

[@bjenks]

Hi Luna, yes it is very good. Looking forward to visit over there sometime

[@RAMSHARMA-mp8jz]

Appriciate you work!♥️ So much research bro

[@dpkchohan]

There are trains in India like Darjeeling Limited. It appears to be an old first class train. Now we still have trains like that but only a few.

[@bjenks]

👍👍

[@black4xe]

Life of Pi is my favorite. If you have time, I would suggest you to watch 'Mayakkam Enna' by Selvaraghavan😊

[@avinash-kq1ko]

irfaan.... irfaaan... irfaan khan!

[@GOP0000]

Amazing .. Man have you visited Darjeeling? and Sikkim... After this covid situation, you must cover West Bengal ... Fun fact WB is the only state where you will find Himalaya and bay of bengal .... Mountain and Sea ... Digha Beach ... not so famous, not so developed but still its very good ...

[@bjenks]

Hi Sar Kar sounds nice there. I have not been to Darjeeling yet. I would like to see tea places and the Himalayas especially. Is that where you are from?

[@GOP0000]

@@bjenks No Dude. I visited that place 2 years back. That place is amazing.

[@Awareness_06]

There is also movie called Extraction shot both in India and Bangladesh... Hollywood collobrated movie with India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Mayanmar

[@kiranp5611]

I think the two best movies in here are The Lunchbox and The Midnight Children !

[@bjenks]

I like those too, Kiran!

[@spdr4717]

Man I can see the hours of research and hard work you did on KZbin with a lot of tabs...

Thanks brother, another list to complete!

Thanks Bharath

[@littlewifevlogs]

Me too I love watching movies and I’m a fan of Bollywood films, there are new ones available on Netflix now. India is a place close to my heart ❤️ I’ve seen Million Dollar Arm, Life of Pi and Octopussy. I didn’t go with them to Pondicherry too bad. Slumdog and Eat Pray and love is also 🧡

[@bjenks]

Bollywood does have some great films and I need to watch some more :)

[@kalyanroy8712]

Lots of love from India. God bless you.

[@archanasingh3806]

i dont think these are bollywood movies

[@srinivasp2402]

I agree with Lunch Box and Meet the Patels in your list: Dubbawala swaps the Lunch box, leading to a platonic extra-marital relationship. The film shows the struggle of both partners. Truly Indian. Meet the Patels is slightly over the mark, yet mostly factual arguments. Movies like Octopussy and Indiana Jones (or for that matter any other 60s/70s Hollywood movie with Indian reference) are often based on the Western interpretation of India - tantrics, snakes, belly-dancers. And tonga drivers. Agreeing on Sayed Musthaqeem comment below, films by likes of Mira Nair and Satyajit are more popular stereotyping India. Also include British movies like Bride and Prejudice, The Jewel in the Crown, Tandoori Nights, etc.

[@bjenks]

Some good ones here, thanks for sharing those and that perspective

[@GoodSongs4all]

The movie "Swades".

[@bjenks]

Thanks

[@kalyanroy8712]

God bless you Benjamin.

[@user-rg3cc1jm5w]

Fun Fact: the real Million dollar arm guy is actually a wrestler now, working for the WWE.

[@nikhilreddy8550]

I would recommend you to watch "The Fall". Visually stunning movie. It covered many exotic locations including India.

[@bjenks]

I have watched it and it is very weird and cool Indian backdrops

[@nikhilreddy8550]

@@bjenks Yeah, I think the director went backwards with the story. He had locations so he has woven a story around it. It felt very choppy at times. But the lead actor (Lee Pace?) carried the movie for me.

[@kandasamy321]

Hope you have seen the film "Bucket List " Part of the movie was shot in India. My favourite Hollywood stars Morgan freeman and Jack Nicholas are cast in it

[@bjenks]

Yeah that's a fun one, thanks for sharing

[@Awareness_06]

You also need to see Holloywood movie After the Wedding movie which shot in Madurai Tamil Nadu.

As a movie lover I will suggest u some south Indian movie.... 1st one is ASURAN...2nd super deluxe....3rd vadachennai...which all three are Tamil but if u see these films u know all the social things happened and happening in India.

[@madanpandit5984]

You are doing a great job.. Keep doing this.. And improve the image of India in western countries.. 🙏🙏❤️❤️ Because western media always shows the dark side of India..

Thanks Madan

[@vimalrajan6904]

Looks good, adding to my list

[@uk007jb]

THATS SAD THAT MOST OF THE WESTERN COUNTRIES CONSIDER ONLY HINDI MOVIES ARE INDIAN MOVIES WHEREAS IN REALITY THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND LOTS OF BLOCBUSTER MOVIES IN SOUTH INDIAN LANGUAGES LIKE TAMIL,TELUGU,KANNADA,MALAYALAM...

[@bjenks]

Yeah, the reality is Hollywood is so popular we don't see many outside movies, but Bollywood movies are gaining in popularity with Netflix and if they do, then more good movies will come from the other studios. Do you have any recommendations?

[@uk007jb]

​@@bjenks yes and now many south Indian movies also available in netflix,amazon ,yes we will soon reach the peek as soon as possible,for recommendation you can watch 2.0(tamil movie) available in amazon india, jeans(tamil) its an love story but took place in USA, baahubali(telugu)movie i think this has 2 parts , dasavataharam(tamil movie), SPYDER(Bilingual tamil and telugu), thoongavanam(tamil movie), naan e(Tamil and telugu bilingual) this is movie is in different genre because the main protagonist is literally an flying insect anyways there are even more but now i leave you with this kindly try to watch take care.....

Patrick swayze movie city of joy. Check it out.

[@MrAnanthaP]

It is not Yudapur but Udaipur. (Pronounced oo-dai-pur). It also has Vijay Amrithraj the tennis pro - who came upto the quarter finals in Wimbledon twice (as the tennis pro who is Bond's local contact). Remember the dialogue (..my backhand has improved ..")

[@robertw8666]

Have you seen Heat and Dust? It is probably my favorite movie set in India. It is a little hard to find now but I watched it on Kanopy. And being you are in India there is always piratebay.

[@deepcsc]

Million Dollar Arm movie is based on the true story of baseball pitchers Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel. Rinku Singh is WWE wrestler now under the brand NXT

[@bjenks]

Haha, sounds like a good sequel

I am recomding one thing that changes your life completely. It's 'Radha Krishna' around 400+ episode teaches whole life and beyond. It's available only in Disney Hotstar. Don't miss.. it's equal as you miss India. It's beyond Breaking bad or Dexter..

[@bjenks]

Oh cool Aditya

[@Awareness_06]

I have seen Million Dollar Arm.

[@prashantsurti5788]

Pro Tip :Watch some bollywood movies instead such as 1. 3 diots 2. The LuchBox 3. Hellaro 4. Jallikattu 5. Ms Dhoni: an untold story ( IF you're a fan of cricket.) 6. Tumbaad 5. Sairaat 6. Haider(a Hamlet adaptation also my fav movie ) Best Part: They are all completely shot in India and some of them are regional movies P.s : Lunchbox is bollywood I guarantee you will enjoy these movies. They have a universal appeal.

[@bjenks]

Thanks for this! I've watched some of these and will do a Bollywood sequel sometime

[@rahuluttarkar1651]

Watch KGF. Soon belowing Avenger end game. Breaking all the movie word records..

Sir Benjamin Jenks one small request: could you please stop flicking your fingers and the thumb at your camera lens? It feels like you are about to poke them in my eyes. I can hardly watch your videos when you are in full swing. I am reduced to just listening to you with my eyes closed. To get the full benefit I would rather watch you too. If you must swing your hand, could you consider swinging the right hand instead? By the way, I am a fan of your channel.

A lot of these are cringeworthy, esp Temple of Doom, just straight up racist and beyond cringe-worthy.

[@dushyantsinghrahine2521]

Many viewers have already commented about inclusion of films like Indiana Jones and James Bond, etc. So I am not going to repeat the same thing. But please do a simple google search before pronouncing indian nouns, like Irrfan or Pather Panchali, etc... It's not hard to get audios or videos where these nouns are pronounced the way they are supposed to... Each time you pronounced Irrfan sir's name, you were like 'Iraf'. I mean just read the spelling...it's not that hard to get it right. It's rather insulting towards them, specially when it comes to great people and things. As u already know, Irrfan Khan sir recently passed away, and here you are not even trying to pronounce his name correctly.
