17 Best Hindi Biopic Movies of All Time

Biopics are the order of the day. And in a country like India, which is replete with talent in any given field of work, biopics make for engaging mediums of entertainment, which bring forth a person’s life story to the big screen. And it goes without saying that audiences too, lap up their beloved icons’ biographical representations with great interest.

Right from sports persons to businessperson, or politicians to commoners that stare in the face of adversity, India boasts of heroic stories from all nooks and crannies. Filmmakers, too, make the most of this and bring such sagas to the big screen at every given chance. ‘Raja Harishchandra’, India’s first ever feature film, too was a biopic, which heralded a new era of filmmaking. Here’s the list of Bollywood biopic movies that piqued audiences’ interest.

17. Haseena Parkar (2017)

As if movies by the dozen on underworld mafia kingpin Dawood Ibrahim weren’t enough, filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia decided to bring to life his sister Haseena Parkar’s story too! An otherwise insipid tale, which could have been more insightful, with a detailed glimpse into the life of Mumbai’s dreaded “Aapa”, the film could have worked wonders. Shraddha Kapoor portrayed the titular character but did not breathe life into it. The film only turned out to be a dreary docu-drama instead of an exciting crime thriller.

16. Rang Rasiya (2014)

This Ketan Mehta film ruffled a lot of feathers before it finally saw the light of day! Right from the time the film on India’s celebrated 19 th century artist was released at the London Film Festival in 2008, it was eyed as Mehta’s way of bringing the painter’s licentious side to the fore. Be it Nandana Sen going full Monty in some shots or the lead pair’s intimate scenes, Rang Rasiya kept getting delayed for various reasons. But it was Ketan Mehta’s strong belief in the subject that helped in the release of the film six years later!

15. Daddy (2017)

Directed by Ashim Ahluwalia, the film starring Arjun Rampal, is based on the life of gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli, which brought Rampal all the rave reviews. This political crime drama highlights the man’s rise to power post his frequent run-ins with dreaded don Dawood Ibrahim back in the late 1980s and how he turns to politics to make amends. The film had a slow start at the box office but it did manage to grab quite a few eyeballs.

14. Sarbjit (2016)

This Omung Kumar directed film, starring Randeep Hooda in the title role, was based on late Indian Sarbjit Singh, a farmer from Punjab, who in an inebriated state, crosses the border to Pakistan, where he was mistaken as an Indian spy and tortured in jail. His sister Dalbir Kaur, played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, ran from pillar to post to prove his innocence but failed to save her brother. The movie received a mixed response at the box office but it was Hooda’s honest portrayal of Sarbjit that stood above everything else in the biographical drama.

13. Mary Kom (2014)

Directed by Omung Kumar, this Priyanka Chopra starrer was a successful take on the life of Indian boxing queen Mary Kom. Mom to a set of twins in real life, the Manipuri sportswoman overcame marriage pressures and gender bias to go on and win medals for the country at international dos. Pee Cee, for once, did a very fine job and managed to work her magic at the box office as the titular character, but the truth sadly remained unchanged: Priyanka earned way much more money by portraying Mary than what Mary earned all her life!

12. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013)

There is not one Indian that has never heard of “The Flying Sikh” 0r Milkha Singh, thanks to his international achievements and certain jokes that had been done to death at the world-class sprinter’s expense. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra was instrumental in bringing the veteran athlete’s life to the big screen and Farhan Akhtar did a commendable job as the decorated Indian athlete Milkha Singh. Right from copying his mannerisms to his trademark running style, Farhan had everything spot on, which brought him laurels!

11. M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016)

Based on the life of former Indian Cricket Team captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the film directed by Neeraj Pandey, did fairly well at the box office. Sushant Singh Rajput put his heart and soul into the character and managed to woo his fans as the Indian wicket keeper with Disha Patani and Kiara Advani as his leading ladies. Although the film had hit the right notes, one thing that stuck out like a sore thumb was projecting Dhoni as a ‘saint’, despite some controversies the ace cricketer’s professional front was mired in.

10. Guru (2007)

Dhirubhai’s gritty struggle and phenomenal rise got a feature-length it deserved. And unlike other biopics, ‘Guru’ does not shy away from exploring the darker shades of Dhirubhai’s personality as well as his transactions with the business and administrative world. Mani Ratnam never set out to make an eulogy out of it and stuck to his guns. He extracted fine performances from Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai but Mani’s masterstroke came in the form of Manikdas Gupta and Shyam Saxena played by Mithun Chakravarthy and Madhavan.

9. Dangal (2016)

This Aamir Khan starrer was one emotional tale of a father-daughter duo, loosely based on the life of Indian wrestling champion Mahavir Singh Phogat from Haryana and his daughters Geeta and Babita. The film portrays Aamir as the strict father, who once aspired to win a gold medal for his country but failed due to family responsibilities, and how he later materialized his dream by training his daughters in the sport. The film was a smash hit and debutantes Fatima Sana Sheikh, Sanya Malhotra, Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar earned praises for their respective roles.

8. Zubeidaa (2001)

Karisma Kapoor, who is currently away from the arch lights, starred in this Shyam Benegal movie, where she portrayed the real life character of ill-fated actress Zubeida Begum. Written by film critic Khalid Mohamed, who also happens to be Zubeida Begum’s son, the film describes the story of the young actress, who married a Jodhpur royal for love, but at the tender age of 26, died in an airplane accident along with her husband. The movie also received a National Award for the best feature film in Hindi back in the day.

7. Manjhi: The Mountain Man (2015)

Director Ketan Mehta, who loves to tell stories with a difference, narrated the tale of Dashrath Manjhi, a humble labourer from Bihar, who broke down a mountain with only a chisel and hammer and carved a path across to the other side, after he failed to provide immediate medical assistance to his wife. The heart-wrenching story of the Mountain Man, who was mocked for trying to do the unimaginable, saw Nawazuddin Siddiqui playing the lead role in all earnestness. Not only did the film work wonders at the box office, it also helped the rest of India know a man, who literally moved mountains to make the impossible possible!

6. Neerja (2016)

They say Sonam Kapoor can’t act to save her life, but with this film, she proved them wrong! Based on the life of slain model-turned-flight attendant, Neerja Bhanot, the film won many accolades and a National Award for best Hindi feature film. The movie narrates the story of the 23-year-old head Pan Am flight attendant, who with her grit and determination, foiled a terrorist hijack plan, saving some 300 lives, while sacrificing her own. The tale of a woman’s professionalism and undaunting spirit managed to move the nation to tears.

5. Shahid (2012)

Rajkummar Rao is not called an ace for nothing! With this Hansal Mehta flick, he got into the skin of assassinated human rights activist and lawyer from Mumbai, Shahid Azmi, who was shot at in his office for having defended several high-level bombing cases over a period of time in Mumbai. Shahid’s life was replete with controversy, which was ably portrayed by Rao. The film also received national recognition as did Rajkummar Rao, who earned a National Award for his sincere performance.

4. Aligarh (2015)

Adapted from the real life story of Professor Ramchandra Siras, who was the Head of the Department of Modern Indian Languages and specialized in Marathi Literature at the Aligarh Muslim University, this Hansal Mehta film was critically acclaimed for portraying the fallen academician’s life to the T. Manoj Bajpayee played Siras, whose privacy was invaded at his residence and his sexual orientation was made public and he was later alienated for being gay. The film was a riveting take on Siras’ life, which Bajpayee portrayed with aplomb.

3. The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002)

Right from ‘Shaheed Bhagat Singh’, which transformed Shammi Kapoor into the legendary Indian revolutionary, to Manoj Kumar, Bobby Deol, Sonu Sood and Ajay Devgn, all have played the freedom fighter on the silver screen once. India seems to be obsessed with the character and filmmakers have brought his tale to the audiences time and again. Thankfully, Bhagat Singh’s biopics have never failed at the box office and actors that have been cast as the freedom hero, too, have played their part effortlessly in all the films.

2. Paan Singh Tomar (2010)

A two-time National Award-winning movie, this Tigmanshu Dhulia directed film starred Irrfan Khan in the lead role. Adapted from the real life story of famous Chambal dacoit Paan Singh Tomar, the film follows his story, where Tomar joins the Indian Army in the late 1950s and his talent in steeplechase is discovered. Post an early retirement, Tomar resorts to becoming a dacoit, wrecking havoc in the Chambal region of Madhya Pradesh. The film was a critical and commercial success, which also brought Irrfan a National Award.

1. Bandit Queen (1994)

Shekhar Kapur’s unnerving masterpiece chronicles the life of Phoolan Devi; a lower caste woman sexually abused and tortured by the Thakurs against whom she vehemently revolts and ends up becoming the leader of a gang. Seema Biswas stars in the lead role and delivers a performance of a lifetime, completely humanizing Devi and portraying the angst, frustrations, rage in a way no one else could have. The film was noted for its explicit depiction of sex, violence and strong use of language and continues to be shocking in its raw, honest portrayal of a life ignored, repressed and rotten.

Top 27 Best Biopic Movies of Bollywood You Must Watch (Updated)

Compared to every other film industry across the globe, Bollywood films are often considered far from reality. Recently Shershah released on Amazon prime, Biopic of PVC Captain Vikram Batra did something unique and real.

We have a Hero beating the hell out of more than 10 to 15 goons and if his action sequences are not enough to impress, then he is also an excellent dancer, singer, charmer, and whatnot! The actress or the Heroine, on the other hand, is most often a glamorous, beautiful young girl who can sing, dance, and sometimes is the damsel in distress waiting to be rescued.

Well, that’s how a Bollywood film is made. There’s hardly anything realistic about most Bollywood films.

The 43 Best Bollywood Movies of All Time

Spoiler alert: There's a lot of Shah Rukh Khan.

Classic Bollywood Movies

Best bollywood drama movies, best romantic bollywood movies, best thriller and horror bollywood movies.

Named "Bollywood" by movie enthusiasts, the Hindi-language film industry accounts for a major portion of the global film space and continues to grow with each title it pumps out. Bollywood beats out Nigeria's Nollywood as well as America's Hollywood to be the world's largest film industry in terms of output and reach, with its content appealing to moviegoers in every corner of the world. But what is it exactly that makes Bollywood so epic, its films so special? Some argue that there's a tried-and-true formula to any quality Bollywood film: swoon-worthy romance, swelling soundtracks, ridiculously attractive lead characters, and plot twists that you can see coming from a mile away. Others say that Bollywood's secret is far simpler—it's just a damn good time from beginning to end.

Either way, these must-watch movies are well worth the two-plus hours you'll probably have to block off in your day to watch them (Bollywood movies are famously long). Whether you're a fan of romance, tragedy, or comedy, there's definitely a film for you in this colorful world. Below, a list of Bollywood staples that you need to add to your watch list , from epic historical dramas to kickass action movies.

'Mother India' (1957)

This epic drama focuses on an impoverished woman who is forced to care for her two sons alone while surviving threats from a nefarious money-lender when her husband leaves the family in disgrace. At the time it was made, Mother India was one of the most expensive Hindi movies ever made and is considered one of the most revered movies in Bollywood history.

Dil Chahta Hai (2001)

This movie has it all. It's a romantic comedy . It's a drama. It's a heartfelt coming-of-age movie. Dil Chahta Hai , which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi, tells the stories of three college friends as they try to navigate life and love after graduation.

Sholay (1975)

This action-adventure Bollywood offering is a classic. The plot revolves around a retired police chief who sets out to catch a dastardly thief—with the help of two lesser criminals.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

You can't talk about Bollywood without mentioning Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge . The 1995 classic is widely considered the gold standard for Bollywood rom-coms, featuring a cheeky Shah Rukh Khan and starlet Kajol (and her signature unibrow) as two young people who fall in love on a backpacking trip across Europe.

Pyaasa (1957)

This 1957 musical romance is a classic. The story follows Vijay, an unsuccessful poet who is mistakenly assumed dead when a homeless man he gave his coat to is murdered. After his "death," Vijay's poems are published—and wildly popular.

Mughal-e-Azam (1960)

Loosely based on actual historical events, Mughal-e-Azam tells the story of how 16th-century Mughal Emperor Akbar’s disapproval of his son Prince Salim’s choice of love interest turned into a full-blown war. The movie—which at the time boasted the highest budget of any Indian film by far—took its inspiration from a 1922 stage play and, in a full-circle moment, has since been turned into a Broadway-style musical that debuted in 2016 and toured North America this year.

Saina (2021)

We STAN an inspiring, goose-bump-inducing female-led sports flick. This biopic, starring Parineeti Chopra, dives into the life of Saina Nehwal an Indian professional badminton player who is a former world number 1.

Queen (2014)

When shy Rani Mehra gets left at the altar on her wedding day, she shocks her conservative family and friends by turning what was supposed to be a romantic honeymoon for two into an ambitious solo trip.

The Lunchbox (2013)

The Lunchbox is one of those beautifully touching movies that tells a story you didn't know you desperately needed until you've seen it. In the movie, a woman named Ila tries to rekindle the spark in her marriage by preparing a special lunch for her (not-so-great) husband. The plan goes awry, however, and the lunch ends up in front of an antisocial widower instead. When her husband doesn't mention his special meal, Ila adds a note to the next lunch she prepares (which also goes to said widower) and an unlikely friendship is born.

3 Idiots (2019)

This coming-of-age dramedy follows three engineering students' trials and tribulations, offering a tongue-in-cheek critique of the state of the Indian education system and the stress it creates.

Lagaan (2001)

"Lagaan" translates to "Agricultural Tax," but don't let that put you off. Only within the genius that is Bollywood could a movie about a town outraged by an unprecedented tax increase also be this genuinely engrossing and earn an Oscar nom. It doesn't hurt that the villagers end up playing a game of cricket against the British army officers for the right not to pay it.

Panga (2020)

This inspirational sports movie takes place in the world of Kabbadi, a popular contact sport in India. The movie follows Jaya Nigam, a former Kabbadi champion who quit the sport after the birth of her son, but regrets walking away. With help and support from her now seven-year-old son and a former teammate, Jaya trains, gets back into shape, makes her comeback, and eventually wins the Kabaddi cup for team India.

Hichki (2018)

There's only been one thing challenging aspiring teacher Naina's dream of landing a job at the high school she once attended: her Tourette's syndrome. And even when Naina is able to finally become a teacher, her troublemaking class presents a new issue, making her wonder if her dreams really are within reach.

Insaf Ka Tarazu (1980)

Insaf Ka Tarazu translates to "the balance (or scale) of justice" and the movie dives deep into what justice is and how to strike that balance. In this intense drama, a wealthy man named Ramesh meets a beauty queen named Bharti, who he invites onto his yacht. Afterwards, Bharti accuses Ramesh of sexually assaulting her, but he's exonerated. When he's murdered two years later, Bharti is arrested for the crime and put on trial herself.

The Dirty Picture (2013)

A still from the movie The Dirty Picture

This musical drama, loosely based on the life of Silk Smitha, an Indian actress known for erotic roles, is equal parts bold and wildly entertaining. Actress Vidya Balan was critically praised for her work in the lead role.

Mary Kom (2014)

Priyanka Chopra stars in this inspirational sports film as the real-life boxing icon Chungneijang Mary Kom Hmangte , who went from farming the fields of Manipur to fighting in the ring. Eventually, she became a six-time World Amateur Boxing champion.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)

A still from the movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

What do you get when you take some of Bollywood's most prolific actors (Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Kajol, and Kareena Kapoor) and put them all in one movie about a well-off, prominent family in Delhi struggling to maintain its legacy? Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham , that's what. The family drama is a heartbreaking story about the ties that bind us but can also break us. And it's so, so, so good.

Dangal (2016)

Nearly a decade after its release, Dangal remains India’s highest-grossing film of all time. The blockbuster biopic follows sisters Geeta and Babita Phogat, both wrestlers, on the road to the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where—historical spoiler alert!—Geeta would ultimately go on to become the first-ever Indian woman to win a gold medal for wrestling.

Secret Superstar (2017)

Part poignant coming-of-age story, part ode to a mother’s love, Secret Superstar is a certified tearjerker that shows 15-year-old Insia’s meteoric rise to fame as an anonymous YouTube sensation. With help from her mom, she’ll have to decide whether to follow her dreams or go along with her abusive father’s very different plan for her future.

Love Aaj Kal (2020)

It's appropriate that this romantic movie was released on Valentine's Day. The drama follows a young couple named Zoe and Veer who meet in a bar and have an instant connection but struggle to move forward in their relationship as their careers and life plans keep pulling them apart.

Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003)

A still from the movie Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon

A case of mistaken identity leads to love in this romantic comedy starring Bollywood heavyweights Hrthrik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor. (Note: Pay no attention to the animated talking parrot that shows up from time to time — 2003 was a whole different mood.)

Bajirao Mastani (2015)

When Peshwa Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) falls for Mastani (Deepika Padukone), the daughter of a Rajput king, despite already being married to Kashibai (Priyanka Chopra) an ill-fated love triangle forms altering the very course of their lives. Fun fact: Bajirao Mastani also marks Singh and Padukone's second onscreen romance after starring together in Ram Leela in 2013; the two actors tied the knot IRL in 2018!

Devdas (2002)

Shah Rukh Khan (told you he'd appear on this list a lot) takes on the titular role of Devdas, a man who returns to India after previously leaving the country to study law in England. His forbidden love leads him to a battle with alcoholism that impacts the lives of the people who he loves most.

Veer-Zaara (2004)

This 2004 period drama tells the story of star-crossed lovers Veer, an Indian Air Force officer, and Zaara, the daughter of a Pakistani politician. Their 22-year love story is full of courage, sacrifice, and, of course, lots of edge-of-your-seat drama.

Barfi! (2012)

Ready to cry, laugh, and then cry a little more? Barfi! is about the misadventures of a happy-go-lucky man who makes the most of life. The film stars Bollywood favorites Ranbir Kapoor as Barfi and Priyanka Chopra as his love interest Jhilmil, a young woman on the autism spectrum.

Lust Stories (2018)

Much sexier than many of the other titles on this list and within Bollywood in general, Lust Stories is an anthology film about four vastly different sexual situations, including an inappropriate student-teacher interaction, a maid's secret desire, the broken trust between a married couple, and one woman's awkward experience with a vibrator. Stream the steamy film on Netflix today.

Jab We Met (2007)

If you love a good quirky-girls-saves-a-guy rom-com, then Jab We Met deserves a spot on your watchlist. The movie tells the story of heartbroken businessman Aditya who meets spirited woman Geet on a train and ends up sucked into her whirlwind of a life, including a trip to meet her family and the chance to tag along for her elopement with her secret boyfriend.

Khoobsurat (2014)

A career-driven but socially awkward physical therapist gets the opportunity of a lifetime when she's hired by the Rajasthan royal family to nurse the king back to health. However, she gets thrown off her game by the presence of the family's extremely hot prince and his snobbish mother. Romantic shenanigans and misunderstandings ensue, and honestly, what else would we expect from a Disney movie?

Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

Hrthrik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai lead this 2008 romance film about the marriage of convenience turned passionate love affair between a Rajput princess and a Mughal king that is jeopardized by the threat of a looming religious war. Jodhaa Akbar will make you believe in love again — trust me .

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)

A still from the movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Shah Rukh Khan makes the list again, this time for a ‘90s rom-com that features not one but two love triangles set about a decade apart. KKHH ’s own director has since criticized the gender politics at play in the film, but it remains a beloved entry in the Bollywood canon for its sweet story and unforgettable style.

Mrs. Serial Killer (2020)

A still from the movie Mrs. Serial Killer

If you like your crime dramas dark and twisty, then Mrs. Serial Killer is for you. The premise: A a man is arrested (and possibly framed) for a series of brutal murders. His pregnant wife decides to prove he's innocent by committing a copycat crime while he's in custody. Foolproof, right?

Fanaa (2006)

For a thriller with more romance, try 2006's Fanaa , about a flirtatious tour guide named Rehan who meets and starts a relationship with a blind (but very independent) Kashmiri woman named Zooni. The twist: This isn't the first time Rehan and Zooni have met...or dated. Turns out, Rehan is an insurgent behind a series of terrorist attacks, including one seven years prior that he used to fake his own death and leave Zooni the first.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)

A still from the movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Lifelong best friends Imran, Arjun, and Kabir finally make good on their pact to travel to Spain, but interpersonal conflict threatens to upend their vacation and their friendship.

Haider (2014)

Haider takes the well-known William Shakespeare play Hamlet and lets the tragedy play out in a totally different yet equally grim setting: in the middle of the Kashmir conflicts of 1995.

Ek Tha Tiger (2012)

Action icon Salman Khan plays an Indian secret agent nicknamed "Tiger" who is sent to Ireland on a mission to keep tabs on a renowned scientist suspected may be aiding the defense strategies of Pakistan.

Neerja (2016)

Model-turned-flight attendant Neerja Bhanot comes face to face with a group of terrorists intent on hijacking her flight. The film is based on the true story of the Abu Nidal Organization's hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in 1986.

Dhoom 2 (2006)

In one of those rare cases where the sequel surpasses the original, Dhoom 2 is believed by many to be the best film in the Dhoom franchise (which, by the way, is the second largest Bollywood film franchise in terms of box-office revenue). Think Fast and Furious , but in Hindi and topped with lively musical numbers.

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019)

A still from the movie Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga

LGTBQ narratives are slowly but surely making their way into mainstream Bollywood cinema, and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is helping lead the way. The heartwarming film depicts a closeted woman's journey to personal freedom and her fight for acceptance from her traditional family.

Bodyguard (2011)

Lovely Singh is assigned to be the bodyguard for Divya, the beloved daughter of a national politician with many enemies, but things get complicated when Lovely finds himself falling in love on the job. There are cool fight sequences and fun dance breaks in this one — we love duality!

The White Tiger (2020)

Based on Aravind Adiga's New York Times bestselling book by the same name, this Netflix drama follows Balram (Adarsh Ghourav) a driver to a wealthy family, who is coerced into taking the fall for one of their crimes. Ultimately, the film, executive produced by Priyanka Chopra, grapples with the cycle of poverty, power, and self-preservation.

Is Love Enough? Sir (2018)

A still from the movie Is Love Enough? Sir

Get the tissues ready. Rohena Gera’s poignant and heartbreaking film examines complex love, class divides, and personal ambition. In the film, a young widow, hired as a housekeeper, and the wealthy, single man she works for fall in love.

Thapped (2020)

After her seemingly perfect husband Vikram (Pavail Gulati) slaps her at a party, Amrita (Taapsee Pannu) begins to realize all of the micro-sexism she's faced at his hands throughout their marriage. The movie follows her as she bravely takes on the patriarchy and fights for the respect she's owed.

Andhadhun (2018)

This suspense-filled black comedy is so filled with twists that “ending explained” is one of its most popular related Google searches. You won’t find any spoilers here: You’ll have to watch and decide for yourself what actually happened to Akash, Swami and Simi in the end—and whether Akash was ever really blind at all.
