The Bollywood film industry has been eliciting movies related to aliens and extra territorials for decades.
On World UFO day, here are some of the films based on aliens and extra territorials.
Mr India
Mr India has prevailed as one of the remarkable movies made in Indian cinema, especially remembered for its science fantasy and superhero genre which was not very prominent back in the 1980s. The film features Anil Kapoor and late Sridevi in the lead roles while Amrish Puri being the main antagonist ‘Mogambo’ (a character which has become perpetual in the narrative of Indian cinema). The movie stirs a little bit of science fiction of Mr X or H.G.Well’s Invisible man and a little bit of superhero dual identity and some Bollywood masala to make it a movie that has remained in the memory of almost every Indian millennial.
Koi Mil Gaya
Koi Mil Gaya is one of the very rare Bollywood movies which have dealt with the theory of alien incursions on earth. The plot is loosely based on the 1982 Hollywood flick Extra terrestrial E.T. The film also showcases one of Hrithik Roshan’s excellent performances to date and is indubitably one of the movies that fascinated nearly every Indian teenager when it had released in 2003. The film was critically acclaimed and won innumerable awards at the Filmfare including the award for best film, best director, best actor and best choreography.
Krissh
Superhero movies in India are so rare that they can be counted on the fingers of your hands and Krrish is one of them. A sequel to the 2003 film Koi Mil Gaya, this super-hero movie stars Hrithik Roshan in a dual role. The film earned mostly positive reviews as well as an appreciation for its special effects. The movie has won accolades making Krrish an iconic superhero of India.
Pk
Piloted by Rajkumar Hirani, the film stars Aamir Khan in the nominal role along with Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani, Saurabh Shukla and Sanjay Dutt in the principal roles. The 2014 movie revolves around an alien who arrives on earth and forfeits the gadget he can use to transmit with his UFO. His innocent nature and naive questions force the nation to evaluate the religious impact on the citizens.
Robot
Originally made in Tamil titled Enthiran and later remade into Hindi as Robot, this movie is noted for its outstanding special effects, innovative storyline, and memorable dialogues. Featuring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in prominent roles, the movie revolves around the story of an andro-humanoid robot who starts becoming self-aware and also starts developing human emotions. The film won many awards for its special effects.
