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)

    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.
