Bollywood Movies Inspired By True Events

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

This biopic of Milkha Singh, India’s Flying Sikh, was one of the year’s biggest hits, starring Farhan Akhtar. The film goes beyond the obvious and emphasizes lesser-known details about the renowned athlete’s life, presenting the Indian sports star to the millennial generation. Farhan is fantastic in his role, and Milkha Singh has sold the film’s rights for Rs 1.

The Attacks of 26/11

This docudrama, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, is based on the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The film focuses on the succession of events that occurred on that terrible day. The plot centres around the terrorist assaults and the capture of Ajmal Kasab, the main extremist. RGV relies on police testimonies, eyewitnesses, and court evidence to offer a fairly accurate picture of reality.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobaara

The film, a sequel to the 2010s Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, is inspired by the feud between gangsters Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Rajan. Despite a lot of expectations, this gangster saga was a disappointment. The film starred Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan, and Sonakshi Sinha in prominent roles.

The Dirty Picture

This biopic of the southern sex queen Silk Smitha, starring Vidya Balan, provides a lot of amusement. Vidya has done an excellent job as the ultimate seductress. She tried her hardest to get into the character’s skin, which included putting on a lot of flab.

Paan Singh Tomar

Another excellent film starring Irrfan Khan. This is a biopic of an athlete named Paan Singh Tomar who served in the Indian Armed Forces. The film blends real-life incidents that drove Paan Singh to abandon the defence forces and his desire of becoming an internationally recognized athlete in favor of guns.
