7. Indian Martial Arts (Kalaripayattu & Action)

Indian martial arts movies frequently feature Kalaripayattu, one of the world’s oldest fighting systems. Developed in India’s southern state of Kerala, Kalaripayattu is more than a combat method—it’s an intensely spiritual and physical practice that incorporates strikes, kicks, grappling, weaponry, and healing techniques. Indian action films that use this style focus on its elegant, dance-like movements, acrobatic stunts, and smooth weapon choreography, which makes the action scenes both realistic and culturally grounded.

These movies extend beyond simple fighting—they delve into the philosophy and practice of the art, like self-restraint, esteem for the guru (mentor), and the interrelation between body and soul. Kalaripayattu is not only used by directors to entertain crowds but also to promote India’s heritage, generally placing plots in historical or mythological settings where the martial art blends well into the storyline.
