In recent years, Bollywood has seen an emergence of movies based on true stories and events. Aside from action-packed blockbusters and comedy musicals, biographical movies are all the rage. This genre of Bollywood movies highlights significant happenings throughout history. Whether it be the story of a powerful individual or an unforgettable event in time. These films also perform well in the box office, with or without controversy. Other than the retelling of real-life stories, the actor starring also plays a big factor. Adding top actors and actresses to a film may draw audiences to watch it. If they like the movie, they will definitely watch it until the end credits. There are instances when the audience is more interested in the subject matter of the movie. Then there's also that symmetry of having both a top actor or actress and a relevant storyline. An example of a movie that has the best of both worlds is Neerja, a film that tells the story of a brave flight attendant. Neerja risks her life to save the passengers on board the Pan Am flight 73. This event occurred back in 1986 and it was big news then. The 2016 movie pays tribute to the flight attendance selflessness. The actress who portrays Neerja in the film is no other than top actress Sonam Kapoor. With the mix of a strong flight attendant's story and excellent acting, Neerja received positive reviews.

These movies drawn from real-life experience let audiences encounter different, impactful stories. Whether it be a tragic accident, a part of Indian history, or a deeper look into someone's life. Start watching these best biographical Bollywood films now!
