In the year 2023, the Hindi film industry witnessed several movies which performed brilliantly at the box-office. The list includes ‘Pathaan’, ‘Jawan’, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, ‘OMG 2’, and more recently ‘Animal’, amongst others.
On the other hand, there were also some Hindi films which were released in theatres but, for some reason, could not get the love and recognition from critics and audiences or the box-office numbers they probably deserved. We have compiled a list of those well-made Hindi language Indian movies which deserved more love along with their OTT platforms in which they are currently streaming.

Ghoomer (Streaming on Zee5)
The film’s story revolves around how a paraplegic sports person (played by Saiyami Kher) performs and aspires to become a champion under the guidance of her eccentric coach (Abhishek Bachchan) despite all odds.
