Welcome to Break Ke Baad!🎙 Episode 20: Real Heroes, Reel DramaHow much of a real person's life makes it to the big screen, and how much gets lost somewhere between the scriptwriter and the box office?This week on Break Ke Baad, we're diving into Bollywood's world of biopics – the brilliant, the bizarre, and the downright disappointing.We also get into Bollywood's curious gender gap – why are there so few biopics about extraordinary Indian women? Are female stories considered less commercially viable, or does the industry simply have a limited imagination when it comes to women's lives?And of course, we discuss the other side of the spectrum – films that took fascinating real-life stories and somehow managed to make a mess of them.Because sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction. And sometimes Bollywood still manages to mess it up.Tune in for nostalgia, hot takes, questionable cinematic liberties, and a healthy dose of Bollywood gupshup!💌 Follow us on Instagram at @breakkebaadpodcast for more Bollywood trivia, and follow us on Letterboxd at @adesai20 for more reviews.
