The people who belong to the 90s know that the era of 90s was all about evolution. The telephones and landlines were evolved into cordless and later pagers, the simple antenna T.Vs became cable TVs and mainly Bombay was changed to Mumbai. So in this era of evolution how could the Bollywood industry take a back seat? The era of the 1990s was a remarkable time in Bollywood as well. The industry got its 3 Khans at this time starting with Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and then Shah Rukh Khan. Later, we had Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan making their marks in Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan's magnum opus 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge' and a great movie like 'Hum Aapke Hai Koun' also belong to this time. The storyline of movies surrounding familial bonds as well as the stories where the couple elope and marry each other due to society and family constraints had become a bandwagon at that times. The movies of the 90s always had a touch of drama and romance. Other than drama and romance, the movies also had thrill, music, action and humour and almost everything that's required to make the most entertaining movies. This was also the era of K-K-K-Kiran, Simran, and 'Dhak-Dhak girl', Madhuri Dixit. Reminiscing about the 90s always fills people with a sense of happiness and nostalgia. So let's just do a throwback to the 90s with a list of the best Bollywood movies of that time that will make a great watch list for the people who love the 90s.
