In this list of #LetsKetchup, let's look back at movies that kept us hooked and won our hearts in 2022.

We made it through 2022 and a vast amount of credit for this goes to movies that kept us entertained and sane. After a long day at work or amidst a crisis, while procrastinating for the thousandth time, or when we finished our to-do list and finally relaxed, movies come to our aid always. Lately, in India, there has been a lot of discussion about how Bollywood's future seems boycotted. Meanwhile, OTT platforms have made theatres anxious, especially since we are still facing the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the theatres, a lot of films made a lot of noise but delivered empty promises. Other films came silently but took the cinematic world by storm. Tamil, Telugu, and Malayali movies engrossed the entire country. And outstanding movies from abroad were received here with excitement. All in all, 2022 was a fascinating year for cinema geeks. As we step into 2023, let's get a bit emotional and look back at the movies that won our hearts in 2022.
