The scenes that unfold in crime films keep viewers on the edge of their seats. This article showcases an epic list of the best Bollywood crime movies.

The crime film genre is rather broad based. While the root elements in this genre are varied aspects of crime, the genre may also include elements from other genres such as drama, mystery, comedy, suspense, noir, thriller, mystery, psychological thriller, and gangster films. Over the years, a number of filmmakers in Bollywood have creatively encompassed elements from mixed genres in crime movies. More often than not, crime films are often based on adaptations of novels, true stories or inspired by incidents in real life. While the ‘typical’ tag is often associated often with Bollywood masala movies, the crime genre in Bollywood has showcased some outstanding performances of actors and actresses.

Gangster crime movies and movies about the underworld are exceedingly popular with movie goers in India. Dialogues in Hindi crime movies are hugely popular with youth.

Furthermore, the realistic action sequences in crime films accompanied by situational plots that unfold are popular with the masses in India. While one would imagine there is no scope for song and dance routines in crime films, the truth is a number of crime movies in Bollywood feature popular songs. Also, item songs which have become a staple in Bollywood are excessively popular in crime films.

Movies about crime and detection, and courtroom dramas form an integral part of crime movies in Bollywood. A significant number of movies that feature investigators, detectives, and special agents hot on the heels of criminals and gangsters have attained cult status among movie aficionados in India. Furthermore, it’s the range of emotions conveyed through the protagonist in crime movies that connects with audiences. A sense of empathy is often showcased through characters in crime films. Bollywood films that have emphasized on circumstances leading to the path of criminal activity have had a fair share of praise from critics.

Few Bollywood crime movies that have showcased the criminal as the protagonist have found audiences sympathizing with the character. The powerful drama explored through sentiments in crime films has impacted audiences in India in a big way. The facial expressions and body language of certain actors essaying their character in crime movies has been praised by critics and movie goers. While the crime genre in Bollywood has showcased a wide range of movie elements that have appealed to audiences, we can say the best is yet to come.
