This is a list of films produced by the Indian Hindi-language film industry, popularly known Bollywood, based in Mumbai ordered by year and decade of release. Although "Bollywood" films are generally listed under the Hindi language, most are in Hindustani and in Hindi with partial Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Urdu and occasionally other languages. Bollywood films can achieve national distribution across at least 22 of India's 29 states.

Speakers of Hindi, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, and Urdu understand the mixed language usage of Bollywood thus extending the viewership to people all over the Indian subcontinent (throughout India and its neighboring countries). Here are some examples - partly Bhojpuri: PK, Panchlait, Manjhi – The Mountain Man and Jabariya Jodi; partly English: Kal Ho Naa Ho, Salaam Namaste, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Dhoom 2, Partner, Om Shanti Om, Race, Kismat Konnection, Kambakkht Ishq and Love Aaj Kal; partly Urdu: Fanaa, Saawariya, Jodhaa Akbar, Kurbaan, Dharam Sankat Mein and The Great Indian Family; partly Punjabi: Jab We Met, Singh Is Kinng, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Love Aaj Kal, Dil Bole Hadippa!, Band Baaja Baaraat, Patiala House, Phillauri, Amar Singh Chamkila and Thande Koyle. Veer-Zaara and Mausam is an equal mix of Hindi, Punjabi and a little bit of Urdu.

*Alam Ara* (1931), the first Indian sound film, directed by Ardeshir Irani, Sumant Mishra
