Bollywood Stars Vs Bank Robberies - Is It The Latest Trend?

 

Since the release of Dhoom in 2003, Bollywood has moved to a new direction. Earlier we have seen heroes portraying positive roles only and John Abraham brought a new trend to Bollywood – the era of villains who are supported by audience. After the release of Dhoom, both its sequences have followed the same trend – Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 and Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3. In all these versions, audience supported robbers rather than cop. Why so? Is it the new trend of Bollywood, similar to Hollywood?

 

Now bank/diamond robberies have become the main subject of many Bollywood movies. The success mantra of Dhoom series have prompted many film makers to explore the same plot, presented in a new format. More or less, all plots are same and the hero always robs the bank locker or a precious diamond. Bank robbery is a common topic in Bollywood nowadays.

 

Let me begin with 3 big Khans of Bollywood. Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3, Salman Khan in Kick and the latest one – Shah Rukh Khan in Happy new year. All the three Khans are behind three great robberies and all those stories are connected to personal revenges. More or less, the plots share some striking similarities and in all these cases, hero wins at last.

 

Hrithik Roshan’s latest release – Bang Bang is about the robbery of the precious diamond – Kohinoor, though in the movie climax, it proves to be a secret plot of police to catch the villain. But earlier too, Roshan has played the role of a robber in Dhoom 2, which was a huge hit at box office. Surprisingly all the three major hits of 2014 – Happy New year, Kick and Bang Bang are based on robberies, where the hero plays the robber’s role to teach villain a lesson. Is it a new beginning to Bollywood cinema? Except Kick, the rest two releases received mixed response from critics.

 

If so we can witness all leading stars like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan or youngster actors like Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor, stepping into the same shoes very soon or later. Previous box office collections are pointing to the same fact.
