15 Most Emotional Hindi Movies That Are Sure To Well Up Tears

   

If you think about it, there is no tragic film in mainstream cinema. There are films where tragic incidents happen, but it always ends on a good note. It is never devastatingly tragic like The Hunt (2012), or Manchester by The Sea (2016). Maybe producers are still afraid of how the mass audience would receive a movie that leaves nothing but sadness in the mind of the viewers. However, there are plenty of films in the Hindi language that have some powerfully constructed emotional scenes.
