List Of Superheroes Given By Bollywood And Indian Cinema

While Hollywood might hold the title of superhero filmmaking powerhouse, Bollywood does have its own collection of caped crusaders. Here are some notable examples:

Classic Icons:

• Mr. India (1987): An iconic film featuring Anil Kapoor as an invisible watch repairman who uses his invisibility cloak and advanced gadgets to fight evil.
• Krrish (2006): This Hrithik Roshan-led franchise tells the story of a genetically modified superhero, Krrish, and his legacy.
• Shahenshah (1988): Amitabh Bachchan plays a vigilante enacting his own brand of justice in this masala action film.

Modern Adaptations:

• Minnal Murali (2021): This Malayalam superhero film takes a grounded approach, following a tailor who gains abilities after being struck by lightning.
• Bhavesh Joshi Superhero (2018): A vigilante drama exploring real-world issues like corruption and violence through the lens of a masked crusader.
• Hanuman (2023): A live-action adaptation of the Hindu mythological hero Hanuman, slated for release this year.

Beyond the Big Screen:

• A Flying Jatt (2016): A superhero who gains the power to fly through a magical suit.
• Animal (2024): This upcoming Ranbir Kapoor film promises a dark and gritty superhero story.

These are just a few examples, and there are many other lesser-known Bollywood superheroes waiting to be discovered.

So, while Bollywood’s superhero universe might not be as vast as Hollywood’s, it certainly offers a unique and vibrant take on the genre, often drawing inspiration from Indian mythology, culture, and social issues.
