Today, we take a look at the top 10 highest rated movies of 2021, according to IMDb:
1. Jai Bhim: A cult classic by South Indian superstar Surya not just received love from the audience but also gave him a ground-breaking rating. Helmed by T. J. Gnanavel, the movie revolves around a true-life case fought by Justice K. Chandru in 1993 against the deep-rooted casteism in the nation.
2. Shershah: The movie that gave us tears deserves to be on the top of this list. Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani in lead, the movie is based on the life of brave Indian general Vikram Bhatt, code name Shershah who lost his life while taking Kashmir out of Pakistan’s hand.
3. Sooryanvanshi: The prequel series of Singham, Sooryanvanshi was a great dose of entertainment for the audience after a long time. The movie is about an officer who gets transferred to stop a terrorist attack in the town.
4. Mimi: An unconventional movie by Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon melted the hearts of the audience. Shedding light on the idea of IBF, the movie recited the story of a small-town girl who agrees to become a surrogate mother but later gets too attached to let the baby go.

6. Sardar Udham Singh: Movie based on the life of freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh, who assassinated British general Dyre in the court to avenge the Jaliawala Bagh Mascara took out a different Vicky Kaushal for us. The ending 40 minutes of the movie was a hell that left us in tears.
7. Karnan: Karnan, with National award-winning Tamil actor Dhanush, is about a young man fighting for the rights of an underprivileged and suppressed community. In many ways, this is a movie symbolic of the current times of struggle, albeit of a different, more deep-rooted kind.
8. Shiddat: The cinema industry saw the very less romantic movies this year but Shiddat was really an unconventional story. The movie followed love stories and unwrapped the different shades of love for the audience.
9. Drishyam 2: The second installment of fan-favorite Drishyam was all about another mind-twisting storyline that left no stone unturned to give us chills in the true sense.
10. Haseen Dilruba: There isn’t a single minute of straightforward storytelling in Haseen Dillruba — it’s an assault on all senses, including that of the common kind. The film clocks in at a little over two hours — conventional, you might say — but don’t let that fool you. It feels like four.
