These 10 Films of Bollywood Should Have Been Released In IMAX

IMAX is one of the best formats for an immersive movie experience. Some of the best films of recent times such as The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, MI 4, Hunger Games, Interstellar etc. have been filmed with IMAX cameras and these films have been game-changing in terms of movie-viewing experience.

IMAX is generally a 70mm film format and it displays images of greater resolutions when compared to general film formats. A typical film is made in a 35 mm format and it is then projected on the cinema-screen while IMAX's frame provides a double resolution which gives the viewer a more captivating experience. Shooting a film with IMAX cameras is highly difficult and the equipment is heavy and not easy to handle.

Bollywood also had IMAX releases in the past and the most recent IMAX release of Bollywood is going to be Padmaavat. Earlier too, films like Dhoom 3, Baahubali 2 and Bang Bang were released in IMAX. India is slowly warming to the IMAX experiences and we are seeing IMAX screens opening in different cities. Here are 10 Bollywood Movie which should have also been released in IMAX:

Lakshya: Farhan Akhtar's 2nd directorial outing was full of iconic shots in the mighty mountains of Kashmir and the camerawork is probably one of the finest ever seen in a Bollywood film. Lakshya has all the components required for a worthwhile IMAX experience.

Border: JP Dutta's blockbuster war film would have been a treat to watch in IMAX. War films have a charm of their own and the battle sequences would have come alive in the big IMAX screen.

Mughal-E-Azam: One of the most iconic Bollywood films of all time, it was also the most expensive upon its release. Mughal-E-Azam was full of grand sets, magnificent costumes and mesmerizing shots and it should be given an IMAX release.

Bajirao Mastani: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period romance starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra in the lead deserved an IMAX release. The film had all the elements that Bhansali is known for, huge production value and majestic sets.

Mr India: Shekhar Kapoor's sci-fi superhero film is still regarded as one of the best superhero films from India and as much as cliched it sounds, a superhero film is best viewed in IMAX.
