The obsession for Hindi cinema knows no boundaries in India. We can never, ever do without a regular dose of Bollywood movies. And when not watching them on the big screen, we’re tracking our matinee idols on social media. 

Off late, Bollywood has taken a turn towards a more realistic and accurate depiction of life. However, not everything we see in Bollywood is exactly the truth. 

As if one man is enough to beat the hell out of 20 men, right?

While Bollywood movies may boast of a lot of elements, reality usually isn’t high on anyone’s list of priorities. And no, its not just the action scenes.
