7. Brahman Naman

We've all seen dozens of teen movies about nerdy high schoolers heading on a quest to get laid, so it's refreshing to see the formula shipped over to India, albeit with a welcome splash of satirical subversion.

Combining the cringe-worthy embarrassment of the American Pie franchise with some genuinely astute observations about how young men approach sexuality, the movie dares to make its nerdy leads not-so-likeable, and it's all the better for it.

Getting to basically have its cake and eat it, Brahman Naman mines sex farce for perverse laughs while also passing comment on how vile young men can be. It'll be too crude for some tastes, sure, but it's an interesting, singular riff on a tired genre all the same.
