About This Movie

"King of Bollywood" is a 2004 comedy-drama directed by Piyush Jha. The film explores the world of Bollywood through a documentary lens, focusing on the life of a legendary actor and his family. It's a unique blend that appeals to fans of Bollywood and those interested in the film industry.

The story follows Crystal Chaurasia, who convinces the International Film Commission to allow her to create a documentary about Karan Kumar, a mega-actor from Bollywood's past. As she travels to Mumbai with her photographer Jeremy, she meets not only Karan but also his son Rahul and his wife Mandira, who struggles with her past as a former actress.

The film delves into Karan's life, showcasing his return to the spotlight as he prepares for his new movie 'Dhak Dhak.' In a humorous twist, Karan decides to produce, direct, and star in the film as a college student. This meta-narrative provides a unique perspective on the challenges and absurdities of filmmaking, particularly in the vibrant Bollywood scene.

For collectors, "King of Bollywood" is available on DVD, making it a tangible addition to any collection focused on Indian cinema or the evolution of film documentaries.
