College Bollywood Movies


“Band Baaja Baarat” is a lovely debut movie for Ranveer Singh. It gives a reminder that there are still roles getting written for young, fresh talent. His face though is a perfect fit for a role of young college kid. It has been quiet some time since a good movie came about for College kids. Ishq Vishq probably is the last movie which was filmed totally based on college life. Akshay Kumar’s “Khiladi” though remains the best college movie yet and perhaps, “Shiva” for those who loves a bit of action.

Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan, two biggest super star of Bollywood, though never did any outright college movie. For Shahrukh there was a glimpse of college life shown in first half of Kuch Kuch Hota hai, but other than that it is hard to recollect, Shahrukh fitting the role of a college stud.

On the other hand, Aamir Khan did many movies on the roles based on college kid. Though most of them remain flops, such as “Love Love Love”, “Jawani Zindabad”, “Deewana Mujhsa Nahin”, “Afsana Pyar Ka” except “Dil”.

“Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar” can be considered as a more pre-college era (school) and 3 Idiots being based on engineering college life (a bit different from commerce/arts/junior college stuff).
