Bollywood movies are funny, quirky, and bursting with color—whether it’s their costumes, songs, cinematography, dialogues, or movie titles! And honestly, we don’t blame them. These titles are often fascinating, sometimes downright bizarre, and occasionally, real tongue twisters. The best part? The trickiest movie names can even come in handy during a game of charades—you might win by memorizing all these challenging titles.
And if you’re still in doubt, why not dive straight into the list? Pick out the trickiest names—and maybe even watch the movies that sound the most bizarre yet intriguing. Let’s jump right in and explore the 20 toughest Bollywood movie names ever!
Arvind Desai Ki Ajeeb Dastaan
It’s hard to believe, but it is the prequel to our favorite charades movie, ‘Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyoon Aata Hai’.
Jal Bin Machhli Nritya Bin Bijli
The first movie to get recorded in stereophonic sound- this one also has a 7.6 IMDb rating.
Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani
This English movie was released in 1946, one year before India gained Independence. Dr. Kotnis’s love story was really well-timed!
Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana
This comedy movie stars many popular names, such as Gurmeet Chaudhary, Vivaah Shah, Akshara Hasan, and Suhasini Mulay. But nothing is funny except the title!
Shin Shinaki BooblaBoo
What language is this? If you understand why the lead couple in the movie had the names- Shin Shinaki and Boobla Boo- do tell us also!
Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
This bizarre movie with a wild title had a story about zoophilia- a man claiming in court that his wife’s lover had sex with his buffalo, Miss Tanakpur.
Andheri Raat Mein Diya Tere Haath Mein
I would love it if someone had a source of light on a scary night. However, this movie had a steamy storyline with much double-meaning dialogue.
Hum Bal Brahmachari Tu Hai Kanya Kunwari
Interestingly, another 2003 movie, ‘Tu Bal Brahmachari Main Hoon Kanya Kunwari,’ can be used interchangeably in charades—nice trick, right?
Badhti Ka Naam Dadhi
Was this the movie that inspired Virat Kohli, and the trend took off?
Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachao
The makers liked the name so much that they included a song with the same lyrics: “Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachao!”
Paap Ko Jalaakar Raakh Kar Doonga
The movie title is so confusing that one might wonder what the creative writers discussed before agreeing on this name!
Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
This Luv Ranjan movie got a lot of hype because of three things: Kartik Aryan, the misogynistic plot, and the really long and tongue-twisting title!
Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
This 2013 movie, directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, stars Imran Khan, Anushka Sharma, and Pankaj Kapoor in lead roles. The director who directed films like Haider, Maqbool, Omkara, and Kaminey may have tried something new with this movie and not repeated it!
Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro
Why is it so wrong to sympathize with Salim?
Guru Suleiman Chela Pahalwan
When all your creativity is shown in the title of the movie!
Ajab Singh Ki Gazab Kahaani
It is neither a sequel nor a prequel of Ranbir and Katrina starrer, ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani’. But the name is equally tricky to pronounce.
Parthiweshwar Ki Mahima
Google also asks twice when you try searching for the name of this movie!
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
The movie’s name is not the only surprising factor, but the lead couple as well- Boman Irani and Farah Khan.
Pyar Ke Naam Qurbaan
It stars our evergreen Rockstar, Mithun Chakraborty. Nothing is kept short and simple when the movie stars our Mithun Da—not even the movie’s name!
Majaz Ae Ghan-E-Dil Kya Karun
A biopic based on the life of the romantic poet, Asrar ul Haq Majaz- all the people wanting to write Urdu poetry for their girlfriends- start by pronouncing the name of this movie!
Tell us the movie you will watch now- we will try keeping it a secret!
