‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ was the film with which Indian cinema began its 2019 on a high. Based on the surgical strikes, the film had crossed all expected box office collections and had even won critical acclaim. But in IMDb’s recently released list of Top Indian Films of 2019, it has been pushed down to #2 rather than being on top.

It’s wonderful to see such a diverse list of films resonating with IMDb fans this year, including the #3 customer-rated film ‘Gully Boy’, which is India’s official entry for the 92nd Academy Awards.
