In recent years, genuinely South India makes better movies than Bollywood. There are lot of hidden gems with authentic storyline. I am a big fan of South Indian movies, especially Malayalam movies but also Tamil and Telugu. I wish Bollywood could make movies like these. This is a list of good South Indian movies according to my opinion from recent past years.
