11 superheroes in Bollywood movies who have flown under the radar and are now practically forgotten | Newsondot

 


Since the release of Spider-Man in 2002, superhero movies have become a topic of discussion among moviegoers. And after the release of Iron Man in 2008 which led to the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, superhero movies have turned into box office juggernauts that have now become a blockbuster.

While Hollywood is often right when it comes to the genre of superheroes in movies, the Hindi or Bollywood film industry as it is popularly called remains miles behind.

Hrithik Roshans Krrish remains Bollywood’s most successful superhero, followed by Anil Kapoors Mr India, vigilante Amitabh Bachchans in Shahenshah and Shah Rukh Khans G.One in Ra.One.

A few years ago, Tiger Shroff also dabbled in superhero movies, but failed miserably as A Flying Jatt turned out to be a critical as well as a business failure.

Among the current crop of actors, Abhishek Bachchan has also tried to be an onscreen superhero with the failed 2008 Drona, a bad scam from the Harry Potter films where the Abhisheks superhero character stands. moves in sherwani for a costume, literally.

These aren’t the only superheroes seen in Bollywood movies. There were several more that went unnoticed. Take a look at some of Bollywood’s lesser-known superheroes below:

1. Shiva Ka Insaaf (1985)

What was the Maharajas’ superpower, you ask? Well, he could talk to animals, melt metal, and set things on fire with just his gaze. Literally, if looks could kill.

Unlike other Govinda films of the time, Maharaja was a failure despite some hype surrounding its release.
