Taking nature out of Bollywood is impossible. Our
love, tragedy and thrillers scenes and songs revolve around nature. While rains
are preferred for every emotion, snow, hills, mountains and forests do not lack
behind. If we start digging up songs, the list and the article will be an
infinite one.
Bollywood have seldom made films keeping nature as
major plot but it has definitely used forests as backdrop to many hits. On this
World Environment day, we bring you some films based on forest.
A thriller film, the movie is not completely shot in forest yet it uses strangled island and forest as a major resource. The suspects in this thriller film are left in an unknown island cum forest to fight their unknown enemy. It had Nanda and Manoj Kumar in lead role. What happens in the end is a mystery for you to watch and enjoy!
Daud, 1997
Two notorious people on the run from
police and gangsters need a place to hide so what can be better than our jungle? A roadside thriller, the film
had Sanjay Dutt and Urmila Matondkar in lead role. The film shows a beautiful
chase through forests when they are at task of saving themselves.
Adventures of Tarzan, 1985
Loosely based on the story of Tarzan,
this film was not that much successful at box-office. Starring Hemant Birje, Dalip
Tahil, Kimi Katkar and Om Shivpuri, the film was shot in forest and other
natural surroundings.
Kaal, 2005
Kaal is a flick that tells tale of
forest and its rustiness. Having Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham, Esha Deol, Lara
Dutta and Ajay Devgan as star cast, the movie was quite impressive. Shot
entirely in forest and taken to dangerous of forests – ghost, tigers and nature
changing its course, the film gave us goose bumps with its various twists and
turns.
Agyaat, 2009
Another horror cum thriller film, it
was produced & directed by Ram Gopal Verma. The film did not receive any
commercial acclaim but has forest as major backdrop. A mystery of unknown
spirit and what nature serves them, it showed nature’s dark side.
Ragini MMS, 2011
A horror flick, the movie takes
place in a deserted house in-between forest. Now, did we just not say that
forest is favorite destination for everything? The film was horrifying enough
to make us shout, the forest just added to it.
Go Goa Gone, 2013
Go Goa Gone is a zombie comedy film.
The film does not have forest as major backdrop but it certainly has forest
where all zombies reside. The strangled island and forest are also the place
where Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Raj Kadel, Saif Ali Khan and other actors have to
hide.
What we love about these movies is that they gave
nature/forest their due credit. What we do not like is that most of the movies
show forest as an eerie thing. We would just want our filmmakers to show nature
in positive lights as they do in the songs. For now, just read and enjoy the
environment day. Preserve, save and support environment from ruining. Signing
off!
