Check Out Bollywood’s 5 Superhero Movies
Our Bollywood movies are giving serious competition to the Hollywood movies isn’t it? They seem to be becoming better each and every day. While we wait for Dragon to make its appearance on the big screen, check out some of the most popular superhero movies from Bollywood:
1. Indian Superman
Indian Superman, this movie was the desi versions of Superman. It deserves a mention as it was the first movie in Bollywood which brought the real superhero to Indian screens. Starring Puneet Hissar as superman who was Bollywood’s answer to Hollywood’s superman Clark Kent. The sad part is that despite of hard efforts there was nothing that actually matched the Hollywood’s Superman.
2. Ra. One
This one crossed all boundaries when it came to the pre-promotional strategies, but somehow wasn’t too good as the audience expected it to be. Starred Shah Rukh Khan as the superhero and Arjun Rampal as the super-villain. This movie was released in the year 2011, an Indian science fiction superhero film which was directed by Anubhav Sinha. Well to sum up it wasn’t that bad too.
3. Robot
We all hear so many jokes related to Rajnikanth isn’t it? If you see ‘Robot’ you will get the answer why these jokes go viral. Robot is one movie which matches perfectly with the Hollywood flicks, the credit goes to the amazing digital effects. And of course Rajni’s phenomenon ‘Robot’ is something for which his fans die. Robot was a record breaking movie which surpassed all possible records.
4. Krrish
‘Krrish’, the bonafide superhero of India. This movie was a great hit and became extremely popular with the audience. The best part about Krrish is that it wasn’t influenced by any Hollywood superheroes. The immense popularity of Krrish made its sequel even more popular. Well my personal favourite one was the 1st part.
5. Drona
While Amitabh Bachchan is known for his record breaking movies his son too is known for one such record breaking movie called Drona. Drona considered to be the worst superhero film ever. The surprising part is that even the great performers like Priyanka Chpora, Jaya Bachchan and Kay Kay Menon this movie turned out to be a foolish attempt in the history of movie making.
