7 Superhero Movies which are Made in India

 

The rise of superhero movies and superheroic genres is total, the experience of cinema viewing and also, the Box office records which are breaking out every Friday and month with producing mega-budget superhero films across countries. Marvel Studios and DC, Warner Brothers have been producing many colossal budget films and making their fans go gaga over it not just western audience but the Indian audience too, Post COVID-19 the scenario of viewing cinema on a big screen was missed across the globe, but once the cinema was back on track, films like Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, and Shang-Chi: The Legends of Ten Rings had a massive business and fans were just reliving the moment this shows how much the world of superhero and larger then life fictional character and comic accurate characters have left an impact of its audience. But the question here is that What about India, Indian superheroes, and their stories? Yes, there have been many superhero movies, which were somewhat larger than life movies, but there are really a handful of movies as compared to the MCU and DCU no, I am not comparing both the industries, but just a reminder that the Indian audience has adopted the concept of Superhero genre and are loving it to the core, So its a perfect time to bring and present some superheroes movies and stories from home ground, Keeping in my mind that there were some experiments previously which failed movies like Ra One, Flying Jatt but there is a lot more to learn from movies like Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and Bhavesh Joshi Superhero our audience love to witness such stories and are eager to experience their journey and the character.

So, let me now directly introduce to you some of our very own Indian Superheroes who are soon going to meet you on the big screens and some on the OTT screens. Here is the list of Seven upcoming Indian Superhero movies.

• Minnal Murli - This 2021 Malayalam film is a story about a guy called Murali, who gets a shock from thundering light and after that, he finds that nothing is normal after that shocking night now he can run like a flashlight and can jump very high and as he is a good person he saves his villages, but soon run from everyone holding his identity as the villagers call him as a threat. There is a supervillain too to combat with our superhero, this looks so fun. A dream project of the makers and Tovino Thomas, the plot might resonate a bit with flash and somewhat Spiderman’s story but this our this is the story of our Desi Friendly Neighbourhood. The film is set to be released on December 24th, 2021 on Netflix in four to five languages across the globe. The response from the fans for both teaser and trailer has somewhat created a robust hype amongst the Tovino fans and superhero fanatics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAUAliz1TKA (Minnal Murali -Trailer Netflix)

• The Immortal Of Ashwatthama: The feeling of not getting to work or getting far away from the dream after being this close, is what the makers and the film IOA ( Immortals of Ashwatthama) are going through. The film is getting delayed day-by-day as it’s the riskiest and highly anticipated superhero film.“There will be a better time to make that film. More than disheartening, it is that thing that any film should be made at the best time for that film. “Every time the film is bigger than me or any individual attached to the film. So, we have to choose a time that justifies making that film. So, we are waiting for that time to come,” Kaushal, 33, told PTI. Earlier Ronnie Screwwala the producer of the film said in a statement had said that the film’s shoot has been put on hold for another six to nine months., Vicky Kaushal's The Immortal of Ashwatthama talks about the story of Hindu Mythology. Ashwatthama was the son of Guru Dronacharya. He fights alongside his father and against the Pandavas in the Mahabharata. He also avenges his father’s untimely death in the most befitting style. The film, however, may not be an exact depiction of the archaic tale. According to two Hindustan Times reports.

• Krrish -4: This is another film that fans including myself as a die-hard Krrish fan is also awaiting to witness its fourth installment too, it has been nearly nine years of Krrish 3 and after that, we have not seen our childhood superhero kicking off some bad guys, buts here is good news for all the fans out there, Hrithik a.k.a Krrish has finally shared some conformation and has given a green flag to continue its Krrish franchise and would soon start with the preparation and this time it would be much crazier and jaw-dropping as, some according to some sources from Pinkvilla, Pinkvilla had revealed that the fourth installment of this superhero franchise is set against the backdrop of time travel. “The makers are trying to build the universe in a way that the world of Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish come together. While the idea of bringing Jadoo back is in place, the makers have zeroed in on the concept of time travel for this one. Krrish as a franchise has a strong sci-fi backdrop and there has been a gradual significance of time through all the films. In Koi Mil Gaya, Rohit Mehra uses his father’s equipment to communicate with Jadoo, whereas in Krrish, Rohit himself develops a Time Travel Machine, the object of interest. Time travel will be key to the story of Krrish 4,” the source said. Still, there are official announcements from the makers as they are still working on it. But the idea of time travel looks too interesting isn’t it?
