What is a dumb charades generator?
A dumb charades generator is a random picker that gives the actor a movie name nobody else chose. No chits to write, no bowl to pass around, and no "arre, think of one fast" from the other team. Every title here is a real, well-known film, spelled the way you see it on posters and OTT apps in India.
It does not repeat itself either: the generator remembers what it has shown and only starts over when the chosen list is used up.

Game ideas with the generator
- Classic two-team dumb charades. The other team taps, your actor acts, two minutes per movie, first to 10 points.
- Forehead style. The guesser holds the phone on their forehead with this page open; the group acts. Someone else taps "New movie" after each guess.
- Hum the song. Instead of acting, hum the most famous song from the film. Antakshari rules: no lyrics.
- Draw it. Sketch the title on paper, no letters or numbers. Great for "Haathi Mere Saathi" or "Jurassic Park".
- Language relay. Each round switches the list: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, English. Fair to everyone at a mixed office party.
