Call me old school, you are right.
From emotional and captivating songs (even though we know not what they mean) to compelling stories that pin you down to your seats, it is no saying that some classic Indian movies will forever linger in our memories. For some of us who lived that age, our entertainment history can never be fully written without mentioning and acknowledging these movies, no offence to the new generation.
It is also not surprising that it was more of a monopolized show as you see that a particular actor featured in most of these classics - our favourite Amitabh Bachchan. We also have the likes of Dhramendra, Amrish Puri (the evil-role player), Shashi Kapoor. Even though most recent indian movies no longer attract us, a trip down the memory lane will surely make you not to discard these classics.
These are the ones I could recall from memory, you may add yours. I hope you get that nostalgic feeling that accompanies this. Enjoy!

these were the glee and mirthful days.Back then as a kid,Indian movies came up on Saturdays. The streets then were only left a bit scanty,for everyone including the adults were indoors, glued to the screen.it was NTA.

Subsequently,the Americans now took over with first blood pt 1 and commando.which gave rise to petty crimes and people with disassociative identity disorder.You now could hardly see kites flying,cars made out cigarette cartons and milk can being toyed around with,inclduing the almighty "boris car" Its just indomie and Dora the explorer.

I just don't know why I hate Indian movies.

True. Things were more relaxed then. Unfortunately, all these acts have been lost in the shadows but the memories will forever linger.

I am not a fan of the recent indian movies but if you actually were a part of the late 70s/ early 80s, there's a high tendency you would have loved it back then.
