Bollywood has long drawn from the country’s underworld, turning notorious figures and violent chapters into gripping dramas. These films trace the rise of dons, the cost of loyalty, and the pull between ambition and survival. Some stay close to documented encounters, while others fictionalize events but keep the emotional truth intact. What unites them is scale, strong performances, and a look at how crime shapes families and cities. From political corridors to crowded neighborhoods, each story captures power, fear, and consequence, giving viewers an intense window into lives lived on the edge of the law.
