Remember the time when you wrote ‘dumbsharas’ on the search tab when you were looking for dumb charades? No? I guess it was only me then. Dumb charades have been around to save parties from getting dull and entertaining everyone who plays it.

Admittedly, it is a game of skill and understanding. The better the bonds of understanding between you and your teammates, the higher the chance of you getting it right. This comes down to the codes, signs and gimmicks you and teammates use to decode non-verbal signs into a movie name.

Sounds tough, doesn’t it? Well, you can always make it tougher for your opponents, especially if you have a quiver full of technically challenging names to act for a dumb charade. Here are some of them that will surely have your opponents scratching their heads and marvelling at your status as the dumb charades champ! We tried most of them in-house here at POPxo. So, even if you are the biggest movie buff who has watched everything - when we say our movie ideas for dumb charades are tough, you better believe it.

These are some of the most popular Bollywood movies for dumb charades with which you can start the first few rounds of charades. A bunch of relatively known films, these are titles that will serve as strong appetisers, before you dish out your main course of tough names. SO, here have a look at some of the difficult movie names that will make you the dumb charades movies champ.

1. Andaz Apna Apna

Funny, well-known and simple to act, this one will be a crowd pleaser.

2. Golmaal

Rohit Shetty’s breakthrough movie is arguably one of the funniest movies of the last two decades.

3. Bade Miya Chote Miya

The going gets slightly tough from here with this slightly long movie name.

4. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro

A hugely popular movie from the 1980s, only a few avid Naseeruddin Shah fans might remember this. That makes it a little difficult to get right.

5. Hera Pheri

Phone call, macchli (fish), glasses: that’s how I always act this movie.

6. Main Hoon Na

For me, that iconic Shah Rukh Khan wave from behind the head does the trick.

7. Aankhen

This one is as easy as they get, but you’ll always have that friend who says ‘Eyeball’ instead.

8. Delhi Belly

The ‘Belly’ is easy to get and that’ll pretty much give away the rest of the title.

9. All The Best

It may sound really easy, but all the best getting this one right.

10. Mere Baap Pehle Aap

Probably most of you didn’t even know that this movie existed. Are you teammates guessing the movie is Aap Ka Suroor instead?

Believe it or not, some Hollywood or British movies are often much more difficult to get right than the Hindi ones. There are a few easy ones - Jaws and Jurassic Park to name a few. However, others have words that are really tough to explain and simply fly over our heads. Take a look at these Hollywood movies for dumb charades if you don’t believe me.

1. Fight Club

As usual, we’ll start with some easy ones and this Brad Pitt cult classic fits the bill. You just need to pretend you are fighting on this one.

2. Jaws

I’m sure quite a few of your teammates might be disgusted after you show them your teeth. Apart from that, it’s an easy one to get right.

3. Chef

Pretend you are chopping a few veggies and stirring your make-belief pot. That should do it.

4. Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Another really simple Hollywood movie for dumb charades, you just need to make that Harry Potter scar on your forehead. Then, you just keep waiting until your friends finally guess the correct movie in the series.

5. Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels

The going gets tougher with this Guy Ritchie classic.

6. No Country For Old Men

I have passed my turn every time I pulled a chit with this movie’s name. It’s too tough!

7. The Matrix Reloaded

Are you thinking about doing a Neo and dodging those bullets? So are we!

8. Life Of Pi

The easiest way to enact this is to start with a circle and take a slice out of it. But don’t fault us if your teammates keep shouting ‘cake cake’ over and over again.

9. Cloud Atlas

Another lesser-known movie, but easy to get right.

10. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

We just had to put this one at the end and must admit that we found this really tough to get when we sampled it in the office. Have a go!

15 Most Difficult Dumb Charades Movies To Get Right

Okay, so some of the movies in this list so far are among the popular movies that most of us are aware of. How about we take things up a notch and make it crazy difficult? These are offbeat and bizarre movies we found online that are so tough to act, it would even give its director a run for the money. All these movies exist and you can prove that running an IMBD.com search on them.

1. Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyoon Aata Hai

This mid-1980s movie has garnered a huge cult following ever since its release. However, we bet even Naseeruddin Shah, who acted in the film, will have a tough time cracking it.

2. Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana

FYI, this was Vicky Kaushal’s first Bollywood appearance! There’s a slight chance you have seen this movie as well, but can you enact it?

3. Saas Bahu Aur Sensex

Yes, this movie does exist. It feels like a crazy amalgamation of random words and this movie will surely send your opponent's dumb charades stock tumbling.

4. Zulm-O-Sitam

This weirdly titled movie will surely leave you and your friends in fits of laughter when you try to guess it.

5. Manorama Six Feet Under

This one has been added by popular demand. Some of you might think it’s easy to get with the words ‘six’ and ‘feet’ in the title. However, the elusiveness of the movie leaves quite a few stumped.

6. Drohkaal

We swear to the movie gods that this one well and truly exists. It was even India’s official entry to the Oscars for the Best Foreign Language Film category.

7. Gaja Gamini

This M.F. Hussain directed movie was lost in obscurity as soon as it was released, despite starring Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit. Diehard SRK fans might just get this though.

8. Hello! Hum Lallan Bol Rahe Hain

This off-beat movie is as complicated to understand as its name itself. We’ll just wish you good luck if you end up drawing the short straw to explain this one.

9. Via Darjeeling

The movie stars Kay Kay Menon, but even he won’t be able to save you if you get this one.

10. Mehandi Ban Gai Khoon

We guarantee that this one will be a laugh riot when you act it out. Juhi Chawla stars in this early 1990s drama.

11. 36 China Town

If you are pulling your eyes to demonstrate this movie, shame on you!

12. Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi

Now, this is one genuinely good movie with a genuinely tricky name. Still, have a go!

13. Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani

We are flipping the pages of Bollywood history to bring you this movie from the pre-independence era. Maybe your friends will just revolt at your choice of movie.

14. Boond Jo Ban Gayee Moti

Here’s another flick to make things even more miserable for your friends. Even we are not quite sure how to act this title.

15. Paap Ko Jalaa Kar Raakh Kar Doonga

Our pièce de résistance for this list and something that will leave everyone playing the game on the floor, rolling in uncontrollable laughter.
