Binge with the Brits! UK envoy seeks Hindi film recs, what would you recommend?

Alex Ellis, the British High Commissioner to India, revealed his love for Hindi movies. Not just a diplomat, Ellis, who is known for being active on social media, asked Bollywood fans for movie suggestions.

He shared his love for iconic films like "Sholay," "Gangs of Wasseypur," and "Chupke Chupke" and humorously talked about his experiences watching them. While he admitted to watching the acclaimed "Lagaan," he cleverly avoided quoting it.

On social media, Ellis asked, “Hindi film fans, after highs & lows of Sholay, Gangs of Wasseypur & Chupke, Chupke, what should I watch next? What is an ESSENTIAL Hindi film to see. And, yes, I’ve seen Lagaan. And no, I’m not going to quote it....PS recently watched & liked Jaane Jaan.”



The internet responded eagerly, suggesting a variety of films from modern hits to timeless classics. Some even recommended films from the golden era of Hindi cinema that have left a lasting impact.

Beyond his diplomatic role, Alex Ellis has become a social media star with his fun food adventures and exploration of Indian culture, making him even more popular. As he continues his Bollywood journey, fans are excited to see his reactions to the cinematic wonders suggested by the vibrant online community.
