Feel-Good Bollywood Movies That Actually Have High Ratings

February 14, 2026 5 min read

Bollywood is famous for feel-good cinema. But not all of it is actually good. We filtered Hindi movies by both comfort score and GoodScore — so every movie here is genuinely comforting AND genuinely well-rated across four major platforms.

How GoodScore works: We combine ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and TMDB into a single 0-100 score. Higher = better. No single platform bias.
