We all agree that this has become an integral part of our thought. With this perspective in mind. These are the 25 films ranked in their order of influence by me as the Moderator of Chalchitra Bharat. The term "influential is supposed to incorporate every such factor that makes a film great, remarkable, important, long-lasting and relevant. Merriam Webster defines influential as-" the power or capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways". Almost the same concept has been taken up here. Though the author has tried to bring in as many extraneous factors and information in consideration before ranking this order, but then finally this ranking is based on an individual perspective and hence is liable to many discripancies, individual influence and inconsistencies. S No Year Name 1. 1960 Mughal-e-Azam 2. 1957 Mother India 3. 1975 Sholay 4. 1957 Pyaasa 5. 1951 Awara 6. 1955 Devdas 7. 1955 Shri 420 8. 1975 Deewar 9. 1970 Anand 10. 1953 Do Bigha Zamin 11. 1943 Kismet 12. 1913 Raja Harishchandra- 15 13.. 1931 Alam Ara 14. 1973 Zanjeer 15. 1995 Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge 16. 1959 Kagaz ke Phool 17. 1962 Sahib Biwi Ghulam 18. 1969 Aradhana 19. 1994 Hum aapke Hain Kaun 20. 1977 Amar Akbar Anthony 21. 1972 Pakeezah 22. 1949 Mahal 23. 1980 Aakrosh 24. 1959 Sujata 25. 1958 Madhumati It would be great if some of u reacted to this list in ur own way.
