#indian movie list

While doing posts on contemporary regional Indian period movies, I made a rough list of Indian period films. These are listed below. Some are historicals but the bulk fall into the 19th and 20th century.  The list is fairly rough so feel free to add more, especially if they are in languages other than Hindi.
