Bollywood Movie sad Deaths

Be it a fictional death, or death very poorly acted. There are roles and characters whose death actually left a scar and made us rethink life. Getting attached to a character and then encountering their death on-screen could probably be worse than a heartache.

Let’s look at some of those Bollywood deaths scenes which left a huge impact on us:

1. Munna Bhai M.B.B.S

Jimmy Shergill had a very short-spanned role in this film. Though it tore us apart, looking at the way he was practically begging Munna Bhai to save him.

Tina, the innocent kid. The one who son hearts since the beginning of the film.  She got attracted and lured away by a toy and died cause of a bomb blast.

3. Lootera

Varun’s death was expected and NGL, we all saw it coming. But if we think of the things he did for Pakhi before that, made us really rethink the writer’s decision to kill him.

4. Ghajini

Kalpana deserved to know the truth! She deserved to know she was dating Sanjay Singhania, before her death. The way she gave up all for him and adjust to support him made her the eye candy and the sweetheart. But her death was horrible and she didn’t deserve it.

5. Kal Ho Na Ho

Bidding farewell and taking last breath is kind of a monotonous scene in Bollywood. But the way the screens represented the whole characters and their skills in acting broke us.

6. Neerja

Though we all knew the story before watching the film, and we knew Neerja’s gonna die. Yet, the death and the way she died while saving the kids didn’t do any better for us to hold our years back.

7. Omkara

Dolly did not cheat on her husband. We misunderstood her. We wanted her to die until minutes before her death we realized she didn’t, that’s when it hit us.

8. Shershaah

Yet another death which was very predictable. The way they showed the death and his diligence over his country actually made us think about all the other people serving the nation.

When Shabana found that those people killed Jai, the man she loved, she was broke so were we. But the best fact is she bounced back and got her revenge.

Highway was one of the most prominently acted films and not to lie it was the individual artist’s best film. Mahabir’s death was unexpected, giving the film a whole new meaning.

19. Bajirao Mastani

Though Bajirao survived the injuries and all he wanted was Mastani to survive those too. Unfortunately, she did not and passed away. Expected, yet very melancholic.

20. Ishaqzaade

Let’s just be honest, we never expected the lovers to kill themselves like that. Parma and Zoya, both were lying, dead, senseless, and cold. Chills, literal chills.

In the scene where Vihaan’s nephew was crying yet she did not give hope, she yelled and gave a salute. Show me something sadder, I dare you.

Anyway, their cultural barriers were something that was restraining them to be together. But the fact that Shaalu ended up meeting Deepak at the cremation, and the way Deepak recognized her. Got us sobbing.
