But what are these cult classic movies? What makes certain movies get that status while the others don\u2019t? Well, it\u2019s about the fan base. Some films just get that love and appreciations years after its release. Today, let me share with you my favorite picks for the top 7 cult classic movies that went on to earn a loyal fanbase, endless rewatch value, and meme status.

Sanam Teri Kasam<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me be honest, when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/sanam-teri-kasam\/0-0-sanamterikasam\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanam Teri Kasam<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> released, we didn\u2019t give it the love and attention it deserved. Then, it came on TV and OTT. Suddenly, we realized what an amazing film it is. We all felt Saru and Inder\u2019s heartbreak. And don\u2019t even get me started on the music album. The songs in this film? Pure gold. No wonder the fans made it re-release, and that earned way more than the original theatrical release.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Raanjhanaa\"><\/span><b>2. Raanjhanaa<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me start by saying this: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/raanjhanaa\/0-0-345651\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raanjhanaa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wasn\u2019t a flop. In fact, Dhanush\u2019s Bollywood debut was a hit. But over time, this film gained the love of the audience so much that it ended up getting cult status. While some might say that Kundan\u2019s behavior was quite toxic, his fans won\u2019t listen a word against him or the film. From the story to the actors, to the songs, this film had it all. Anand L Rai\u2019s storytelling was so magical that we\u2019re already excited for Tere Ishk Mein only because Anand L Rai and Dhanush are teaming up once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Rockstar\"><\/span><b>3. Rockstar<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imtiaz Ali\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/rockstar\/0-0-105985\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rockstar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was a semi-hit film. But it did get some mixed reviews. Some called it brilliant, while others didn\u2019t quite get it. But years later, it ended up being one of the best cult classic movies of the 2010s. Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s performance as Jordan is simply iconic. And that A.R. Rahman soundtrack? Timeless!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tamasha\"><\/span><b>4. Tamasha<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great Imtiaz Ali+Ranbir Kapoor film, that didn\u2019t work at the box office, is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/tamasha\/0-0-2539\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tamasha<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It released to mixed reviews and ended up being an average performer at the box office. However, as we, the audience, grew, we understood what the film truly meant. It became one of the top cult classics. Ranbir and Deepika brought raw intensity, which made this film that much better!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Jab_We_Met\"><\/span><b>5.

But with time, it has become a full-blown cult classic. Geet is now a pop-culture icon. And her one-liners? They\u2019re basically scripture for many girls out there. Whether you&#8217;re heartbroken like Aditya or just bored on a Sunday night, this one\u2019s always a go-to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Koyla\"><\/span><b>6.

However, this gritty, violent, and emotionally intense revenge story didn\u2019t really work that well at the box office. Maybe because it wasn\u2019t your typical SRK romance. Maybe we were just too used to seeing him as the walking green flag. But over the years, even Koyla entered this category. People now appreciate this darker, wilder version of King Khan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Tere_Naam\"><\/span><b>7.
