Bollywood Movies are mostly done to entertain but have you though if these movies could change our society and bring positivity in our lives?
Mostly the movies in Bollywood were only type casted for songs and dance, but there are a handful which not only entertained us but even forced the society to change for the better.
Here are the movies which have forced society to change for better:
1. Rang De Basanti
The movie which motivated the young generation back in the day was not just famous for the music, but the protest featured in the movie motivated the public in India to protest against the Jessica Lal Murder case and they did achieve victory by sending the culprit behind bars.
2. 3 idiots
A shocking glimpse of the education system of our country and the race where most students tend to kill each other gave a tight slap to the government and forced the change in different avenues of education apart from engineering and medical.
3. Chak De India
The movie not just won the hearts of the public but even prompted the government to resurrect hockey. The title song was played in South Africa when India won the finals against Pakistan in the T20 world cup, where SRK was the VIP invitee. This even prompted other sports to be given national sports status apart from cricket.
4. Talvar
Based on the Aarushi Murder case which had shaken the entire country when the parents were implicated. During the release of the movie, Aarushi's aunt Vandana Talwar explained about the lapses of the case and where they should've looked.

11. Bajrangi Bhaijaan
The only movie which showed the true side of Sallu Bhai by taking Munni aka Harshaali Malhotra back to her home in Pakistan.
