Ek
Villain
which
has
entered
the
100
crore
club
and
achieved
this
amount
of
success
was
remotely
based
on
the
character
of
a
young
disease
ridden
girl
who
is
full
filling
her
last
wishes
before
her
time
comes.
Did
this
position
of
movie
touch
you?
Well
that's
the
intention
of
Bollywood
filmmakers
who
are
off
late
basing
a
lot
of
their
movies
on
such
heart
breaking
diseases.
Shraddha
Kapoor
played
the
role
of
girl
who
is
crossing
of
her
bucket
list
when
she
comes
across
her
love
Sidharth
and
gets
saved
from
the
dangerous
disease
but
nevertheless
dies
due
to
some
psychotic
killer
on
the
loose.
Even
Barfi
for
that
matter
was
based
on
heart
breaking
disease
of
Autism.
Set
in
the
1970s,
the
film
depicts
the
story
of
Murphy
"Barfi" Johnson
(a
mute
and
deaf
man
from
Darjeeling)
and
his
relationship
with
two
women,
Shruti
and
Jhilmil
(who
is
autistic).
Autism
is
a
very
touching
subject
and
Barfi
movie
was
based
entirely
on
it
with
Priyanka
Chopra
playing
the
autistic
girl.
While
she
played
the
role
to
perfection,
it
was
still
a
Bollywood
film
that
banked
on
the
heart
breaking
disease
of
Autism.
Indian
audiences
are
emotional
people
who
would
give
anything
for
a
heart
touching
story,
so
the
Bollywood
filmmakers
gaging
the
audiences
preferences
have
off
late
based
a
lot
of
Bollywood
films
on
such
heart
breaking
diseases.
Technically
there
is
barely
an
actor
in
Bollywood
who
has
played
the
role
of
a
disease
stricken
person,
from
Shahrukh
Khan
in
My
Name
is
Khan
to
Salman
Khan
in
Phir
Milenge
have
all
done
movies
based
on
this
touching
subject.
So
let's
take
a
look
at
all
those
Bollywood
movies
like
Ek
Villain,
Barfi
and
Paa
who
have
banked
on
heart
breaking
diseases.
