      I think there some more movies shot in india.
      City of joy
      The Japanese wife
      The bengali night
      Heat and dust
      Junoon
      Many more.
      Now the latest trend is Web series on amazon prime india. Lots of new contents are available in this platform.

    I agree with Lunch Box and Meet the Patels in your list: Dubbawala swaps the Lunch box, leading to a platonic extra-marital relationship. The film shows the struggle of both partners. Truly Indian. Meet the Patels is slightly over the mark, yet mostly factual arguments.
    Movies like Octopussy and Indiana Jones (or for that matter any other 60s/70s Hollywood movie with Indian reference) are often based on the Western interpretation of India - tantrics, snakes, belly-dancers. And tonga drivers.
    Agreeing on Sayed Musthaqeem comment below, films by likes of Mira Nair and Satyajit are more popular stereotyping India. Also include British movies like Bride and Prejudice, The Jewel in the Crown, Tandoori Nights, etc.

    Pro Tip :Watch some bollywood movies instead
    such as
    1. 3 diots
    2. The LuchBox
    3. Hellaro
    4. Jallikattu
    5. Ms Dhoni: an untold story ( IF you're a fan of cricket.)
    6. Tumbaad
    5. Sairaat
    6. Haider(a Hamlet adaptation also my fav movie )
    Best Part: They are all completely shot in India and some of them are regional movies
    P.s : Lunchbox is bollywood
    I guarantee you will enjoy these movies. They have a universal appeal.

    Many viewers have already commented about inclusion of films like Indiana Jones and James Bond, etc. So I am not going to repeat the same thing. But please do a simple google search before pronouncing indian nouns, like Irrfan or Pather Panchali, etc... It's not hard to get audios or videos where these nouns are pronounced the way they are supposed to... Each time you pronounced Irrfan sir's name, you were like 'Iraf'. I mean just read the spelling...it's not that hard to get it right. It's rather insulting towards them, specially when it comes to great people and things. As u already know, Irrfan Khan sir recently passed away, and here you are not even trying to pronounce his name correctly.
