When we talked about the top 5 best bollywood movies 2020, there are so many candidates to consider. If you don’t know what to watch, here is the list of top 5 Bollywood movies 2020 you cannot miss. Check them now!
1. Thappad (2020): An impactful social drama that questions the unsaid rules of marriage
The first candidate of the top 5 Hindi movies 2020 is Thappad. This drama film follows the story about Amrita's (Taapsee Pannu) world comes crumbling down when her fiercely ambitious husband, Vikram (Pavail Gulati), lands a mighty slap across her face at a party that was supposed to celebrate his success in the corporate world.
Will Amrita, whose life so far has revolved around Vikram's needs, wants, and dreams, stand up and speak up against this humiliation in public? Or will she brush it off as a one-off incident, forgive him and move on? Or will this shake up her own beliefs about life and marriage?
For sure, Thappad is not just only a film aimlessly ranting about borderline domestic violence but it also brings to light the years of conditioning that a woman is subjected to by her own family and the society that she lives in.
Anubhav Sinha has really impressed audiences when directing 2 hours and 21 minutes-long social drama which is made for a society that rarely talks about the emotional and psychological effects of domestic violence.
To sum it up, Thappad is a silent slap on our society's age-old belief — shaadi mein sab kuch chalta hain. With 4.5/5 of critic’s rating, Thappad is absolutely a good choice in the top 5 best bollywood movies 2020 for you to watch!
2. Har Kisse Ke Hisse: Kaamyaab - This one’s for all the ‘sidekicks’ in Bollywood
The second candidate of top 5 bollywood movies 2020 is Har Kisse Ke Hisse: Kaamyaab. ‘Kaamyaab’ is an ode to Bollywood, the larger-than-life movies and their actors, bizarre wigs, love, drama, friendship passion but most importantly, it is about one’s ability to realise their dreams even when the chips are down.
Back in the 80s and 90s, the story is about Sudheer (Sanjay Mishra) was an ‘aloo’ – a moniker given to character actors – and while he has enjoyed his fair share of popularity for his larger-than-life roles, Sudheer is now a recluse. However, an unsuccessful video interview with the media stirs up old memories and instils a new ray of hope in his heart, to reach a new benchmark and face the camera, even if it is for one last time.
Directed and written by Hardik Mehta, Har Kisse Ke Hisse: Kaamyaab provides a forthright view on one’s ability to realise their dreams even when the chips are down.
Surely, with 4.0/5 of critic’s rating, Kaamyaab will be your favourite in top 5 best bollywood movies 2020 to watch all time!

The screenplay that traverses through this journey of a sprightly young mother who decides to give her best shot to a second chance, is taut and wholesome, bringing out a story that is emotional, inspiring, nuanced and thoroughly engaging.
The dialogues are sparkling and injected with humour and there are some delightful touches like the school mom’s Whatsapp group, which finally the father becomes part of. In fact Prashant’s character is also heroic in his own silent way.
The writing by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Nikhil Mehrohtra and Nitesh Tiwari is brilliant and is the backbone of the film.
The soulful soundtrack (music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, lyrics by Javed Akhtar) is woven in so smoothly that it never distracts yet touches the right chord.
