3] 3 Idiots (2009)
When two of the most genius people of industry (Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani) collaborate for a project, then it has to be a Masterpiece, and 3 Idiots turned out to be an epic film. Aamir and Raju Hirani made the finest film ever in Indian Cinema. 3 Idiots, starring Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi, became a cultural phenomenon.

5] Sanju (2018)
