Actors are the backbone of any movie. They are the ones who drag the audience to the theatres. However, there have been times in Bollywood when an animal played an equally important part as supporting characters. Most of these animals have essayed important characters in the movies. So calling them Bollywood’s *unsung heroes*, wouldn’t be wrong. Following is the list of movies where animals played an important role in the movies.
Junglee Is The Recent Release
Starring Vidyut Jammwal, Pooja Sawant, and Asha Bhat in the lead roles, the film revolves around a veterinary doctor, who upon returning to his father’s elephant reserve, encounters and fights against an international poacher’s racket. The film features martial arts and stunts performed by Jammwal. The movie was released on 29 March 2019 and the critics have given mixed reviews about the movie.
Dumbo Is A Fantasy Adventure
Directed by Tim Burton, this movie is about Dumbo, a baby elephant which is born with oversized ears. The struggling circus owner Max Medici keeps a former star and his two children to care for Dumbo. When the family discovers that the elephant can fly, it soon becomes the center of attraction, bringing in huge audiences in the circus. This is the recent release and is doing good business at the box office.
Entertainment Was Completely Entertaining
A dog who grabbed our attention was Entertainment in the movie by the same name. Even the title is kept on its name. Akshay Kumar had a special co-star, a huge Golden Retriever, with whom he had to fight to acquire the property of his father. Sounds strange? This was because his father had pledged all his wealth to the dog. Haha!
Life Of Pi Was A Fantasy Drama
The movie was entirely based on the relationship between tiger Richard Parker and a boy named Pi, stranded on a boat in the ocean. This was the highest grossing film by director Ang Lee. It was a fantasy drama though, and the tiger was created by CGI technology, the tiger managed to scare us, and make us emotional. The animal made the entire journey on the sea.
Katti Batti Showcased A Turtle
More than the romance between Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut, we saw great chemistry between Imran and his turtle. He could have taken more care of his love interest than his pet, the scene would have different. Right?
There have been many more movies in the past too, where animals played an important role. Which one is your favorite animal movie?
