Lists of Hindi films

This is the list of films produced by the Indian Hindi-language film industry, popularly known as Bollywood, based in Mumbai, ordered by year and decade of release. Although "Bollywood" films are generally listed under the Hindi language, most are in Hindustani and in Hindi with partial Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Urdu and occasionally other languages. Bollywood films can achieve national distribution across at least 22 of India's 29 states.[1]

Speakers of Bengali, Hindi, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, and Urdu understand the mixed language usage of Bollywood thus extending the viewership to people all over the Indian subcontinent (throughout India and its neighboring countries).[citation needed]
