The film deals with the topic of drug abuse in Punjab which is considered as the happiest state in the country. It does have a lot of cuss words but the drama required it.

8. Queen
Queen is highly acclaimed Bollywood film which tells the story of a girl who is devastated after her fiance suddenly refuses to marry her.
