Have you ever heard of a film where the pet animal is way more important than the actors themselves?
Well here are 10 such films that will prove our point!
1. Hum Aapke Hain Koun
Hum Aapke Hain Koun would not have been a successful blockbuster had it not been for their furry friend, Tuffy. From playing a pivotal role in cricket matches to being the messenger for lovers, Tuffy boy is one cute star.
2. Life Of Pi
This 2012 film was the highest-grossing film by director Ang Lee. The CGI tiger, Richard Parker, spent a long sea journey with a boy named Pi who was initially stranded on a boat in the ocean. Though the tiger was created by CGI, the kind of surreal emotions it make the audience go through was commendable.
3. Entertainment
While the whole film itself was based around this adorable golden retriever named Entertainment, he seemed to grab more eyeballs than his human co-stars. Akshay Kumar was the star, yes, but we loved Entertainment’s performance too!
4. Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon
The film Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon is mainly known for two iconic pets, a CGI generated parrot and an over-active partial CGI generated dog who practically reminded us of the film ‘The Mask’. These two pets will forever be known in the history of pets in films are the most dramatic ones.
5. Maine Pyar Kiya
A film whose love story depends on a pigeon? Looks like Bollywood has gotten that covered too! The pigeon gets two lovers together and wait… he also attacks the villain! That’s definitely a sight for sore eyes.
6. Dil Dhadake Do
Pluto Mehra just so happens to be one of the cutest Bullmastiffs around but he is also unmistakenly the only sane member of the Mehra household. From tagging along in a love chase to narrating the whole story, this pupper plays a pretty important role!
7. Hathi Mere Sathi
This film is no ordinary one. Here, the main roles are that of a young boy and surprisingly an elephant. But hey, we’re pretty sure by the time you’re reading this, you can believe anything is possible in Bollywood! These two main leads share such an amazing bond that the elephant sacrifices his life for his human friend.
8. Nagina
Ever heard of an ichha-dhari nagin? The realistic meaning of an ichha-dhari nagin is a shape-shifter who can transform from a snake to a human. Well if you ever want to know more about this, watching this movie would be a good idea.
9. Coolie
Amitabh Bachchan’s famous dialogue – “Bachpan se hai sar par Allah ka haath, aur Allah Rakha hai mere saath…” Allah Rakha, the eagle was an equal star when it comes to this film. The eagle also saved Big B from the bad guys. However, this was also the movie where Amitabh had a near-death accident!
10. Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na
Yes, this film more or less revolved around a cat! Here, lead actors Imran Khan and Genelia D’Souza even called each other Rats and Meow.
