Every year we go to multiplexes to watch our favorite stars do the same monotonous love and action drama movies like Dilwale, Student of the Year, Rowdy Rathore, Dabangg and Ready (thelist is endless),over and over and over again.

 

However, every now and then, there comes some quality cinema but due to absence of superstars in those flicks they fail to leave an impact. Here are five underrated movies that one must watch if they missed:

 

1. Masaan (2015)

 

Masna has two separate stories that eventually converge in the town of Varanasi. One follows the journey of Devi (Richa Chadha), who has to deal with the loss of her boyfriend and overcome the guilt she feels for his death. The second follows the journey of Deepak (Vicky Kaushal), who comes from a family that burns funeral pyres at the Varanasi ghats. The film was highly appreciated by critics and won a few awards at Cannes Film Festival as well.

 

2. Shahid (2013)
