Top 10 Things A Bollywood Movie Must Have!

Often when something is repeated consistently and emphasized over and over, it either becomes a cliche or a trend. In the case of Bollywood, however, it takes the form of tradition, and a way of doing things. BollyCurry presents to you, the top 10 things a Bollywood movie must have - or in simpler words, we're about to reveal to you, in 10 points, how to create a blockbuster Bollywood movie!

Katrina Kaif offering to light your beedi is enough to make the movie a box office hit! Other than that, the fact that the song in itself is an item song meets the requirements of the Indian audience in regards to a worthy Bollywood hit.


Dogs that have extremely generous masters who transfer their wealth in its name, popular 'three buddies' stories, typical cheesy couples, and the list goes on. Same illogical story lines essayed by different actors. You might as well hand the writers a Fill In The Blank template. But it works with the audience so, what the heck?


Actually, ignore what we said earlier. When you have six pack beauties and bikini clad women, who needs a story line at all - logical or illogical? When was the last time Salman Khan pulling off his shirt didn't impress the audience? Oh right, never!


Add in a steamy kiss, especially one initiated by the girl herself, and boy, you've got a master piece on your hands! Although a slight peck would suffice, what's more appealing than Emraan Hashmi eating your face off? Nothing, apparently because he's definitely set a trend now.


First, we'd like to point out, note the quotes on humor. Long story short, you're not funny Bollywood, but we smirk at the lame dialogues anyway. After all, what choice do we have, given that we're addicted to your mindless crap? But, we've made a commitment to let out our frustration once and for all, and once we make a commitment, we don't listen to ourselves either (point proven, the dialogues sound horrendous on translation).


Teleporting to a completely different country in a matter of seconds for a song in the mountains, is an everyday thing in an average Bollywood movie. But one thing must always stay constant - snow capped mountains. The location must have mountains to be used as backdrop as the leads dance away.


Whether you're off dancing away in the mountains or sharing a face eating kiss with the bae, the mother always knows. She can sense you nearby, as you approach, with her animalistic senses and will no doubt, burst into tears the moment you come into sight, because she's just so happy to see her ladla son back home. Bollywood sure knows how to conjure up the perfect Indian mom for us.


You can be Hulk or an immortal being, no one is faster or stronger than the male lead in a B-Town flick. He can flip over a dozen cars and throw ten hooligans off him with glass exploding all around with one punch while balancing himself on two running motorbikes. As long as you have the macho lead covered, you'll have all the ladies flocking to the theaters, if no one else!


As if the two previously mentioned songs were not enough, a Bollywood movie requires many songs and since we're listing them out, the rain dance sequence just can't be missed out on! Apparently, while in the real world, you'd be more likely worried about catching pneumonia at this point; in a Bollywood movie, however, it's considered sexy time. It's the perfect time to have the perfect romantic, kuch kuch hota hai moment.


Last but not the least, the creepy, larger than life villains are the most important aspect of a Bollywood movie! They not only creep the living fishes out of you, but the macho lead also needs someone to challenge him and actually, for once, manage to match his strength. Alas, the villain gets squashed and destroyed and gives the audience a happily ever after.

Well, there's the recipe to a successful Bollywood movie! We've shared our secrets, now it's your turn! What do you think is a must-have in a Bollywood movie? Comment below and let us know!
