New Delhi:
It won’t be wrong to call 2024 the year of biopics. From Rajkummar Rao’s Srikanth to Kartik Aaryan’s Chandu Champion, we have seen our favourite stars portray real-life heroes, who have etched their names in history. On Friday, Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira also hit the big screens. The movie is based on the life of GR Gopinath, an ex-army officer who founded Air Deccan, India’s first low-cost airline. Radhika Madan and Paresh Rawal are part of the Sudha Kongara Prasad directorial. On this special Friday, we have decided to prepare a list of top biopics that you can watch over the weekend with your friends and colleagues. What are you waiting for? Read on.
