Bollywood Director Priyadarshan Serious Movies: Coming from South, Priyadarshan earned a lot of name in the Bollywood film industry and recorded immense success. His films also got very good response. The special thing is that the director is still making films and is also maintaining his success rate. Actually, Priyadarshan is known for making the film Hera Pheri in the year 2000. And his subsequent films have been more popular. But the truth is that even before Hera Pheri, Priyadarshan was making films in Bollywood. But there is a twist here also.
Actually, today Priyadarshan's recognition among the Hindi audience is due to making comedy films, but when he started his directorial career in Bollywood, he did not make comedy films. He used to make romantic and drama films. However, he continued this trend later also. Now let us know which are the top 5 serious films of Priyadarshan's career.
Priyadarshan Started film making in 1982 with Malayalam film. But the director's first Hindi debut film was Muskurat. With this film, he made his Bollywood debut 10 years after his South debut. This film of his was also a remake of the Malayalam film Kilukkam. Artists like Jai Mehta, Revati, Amrish Puri, Jagdeep, Anil Dhawan, Sharat Saxena and Annu Kapoor were seen in it. Although it was a comedy-drama film, it was different from the films Priyadarshan made later. Earlier there was talk of casting Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt in this film but it could not happen due to some reason. The film could not perform well at the box office.
If we talk about Priyadarshan's 5 serious films, the name of the film Gardish comes first. This was an action-crime film. Jackie Shroff, Shammi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia worked in it. After this comes the film Virasat, released in 1997. The story of this film was written by Kamal Haasan and Anil Kapoor played a double role in it. The film also starred Amrish Puri, Tabu, Govind Namdev and Milind Gunaji. It was a hit film and collected Rs 20 crores.
After this Priyadarshan made a film named Saat Rang Ke Sapne which was produced by Amitabh Bachchan. The film also featured Arvind Swami, Anupam Kher, Juhi Chawla, Farida Jalal and Satish Shah. But this film could not perform well in theatres. Then comes the action film Kabhi Na Kabhi. The special thing about this film was that Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor and Pooja Bhatt were seen in it. Priyadarshan was disappointed with this film too and the film could not do wonders. If we turn to Priyadarshan's fifth serious film, its name is Aakrosh. This is Priyadarshan's film from the time when he had decided to take a break from Bollywood. Akshay Khanna and Ajay Devgan were also in the film. The film was a flop at the box office but when it came on TV, it was liked.
Talking about Priyadarshan's comedy films, he started trying his hand in comedy from his debut film Khoobsurat. After this he made the film Hera Pheri and changed the entire equation of comedy films in Bollywood. Then Priyadarshan never looked back and made many comedy films.
