We just watched "Astropia" and LOVED it. What are some other decent geeky/nerdy films not from Hollywood and that don't count as Anime?

    India is trying to get into sci-fi. If you can handle some of the cheesieness try:

    Ra.One (fantastic sound track)
    Joker
    Krrish (Krrish 3 comes out in November)

    Does The World's End count? Saw it tonight, very funny.

    Anything with Nick and Simon has proven to be amazing. So, yes, that counts and is on the list of films to see. :)

    Geeky Indian movies? I will DEFINITELY have to check out the ones that were mentioned. My exposure to them is somewhat limited. Although, a buddy of mine had a brief stint of stardom while living as an ex-pat over in India for a while. The decidedly non-Indian looking guy at 1:09 and 2:50 is a buddy and co-worker of mine who was apparently in a few movies when he was working in our India office. And no, that's not his voice... But I should reach out to him and see what the other movies were and if they're geeky. :)

    Yeah, I stumbled across them because I like low-budget B-movies and also musicals, so Indian movies are kinda perfect for me. Netflix kept suggesting them. Most of them are Rom-coms, but the couple I listed are pretty good. There were a couple I watched that were really awful (trying way to hard), but I didn't list those.

    Ra.One is a video-game come to life story, Krrish is a superhero movie, and Joker is about aliens visitation.
