Hindi cinema has come a long way from ‘The Romance Behind the Flowers’ to creating animated and thought-provoking films like ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ and ‘Mary Kom’ to ‘Dangal’.
Movies are not only a means of entertainment but also aim to educate, influence and enlighten the nation. The audience was left with no choice but to go to theaters to experience the eternal cinematic experiences created by the Bollywood giants.
We’ve seen a lot of epic bios over the past couple of years. Movies like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), Mary Kom (2014), Neerja (2016), Dangal (2016), MS Dhoni (2016), Sanju (2018) really changed how biographies were made in Bollywood.
This is the type of cinema that is most relevant to the audience. This encouraged the producers to make more and more of these films. The coming years will be inundated with many biographies based on the lives of interesting personalities like cricketer Kapil Dev, T-Series producer Gulshan Kumar and Indian pilot Rakesh Sharma, etc.

Vital fever is at an all-time high and it certainly doesn’t seem to be going away. Besides the above mentioned, there are many other biographical projects in progress like Osho, Shakeela and “Salute” (Rakesh Sharma biopic film).
Most of the actors and movies’ stories get along well with one another, but only time will tell which movie turns out to be a Box Office success and which one is forever.
Only star power doesn’t help with biographies, good content along with excellent storytelling is the key to creating a successful biographical film in Bollywood, Muhammad Azharuddin’s Biography is a good example of this.
