Is there any subject Bollywood hasn't made a movie on already? Until a few years ago one could've said 'gays' but they're not making movies on these too..
so anythign youd like to see? They haven't made 'survival' movies though, I think?

Mainstream story about transgender protagonist.

A lot of tough topics were covered by B R chopra ( a lot) and Raj Kapoor in their movies.

@CP Are you hinting at something like The Danish Girl?
Anywho, I'd like to see BW try and tackle a film with a cisgender man playing a trans-woman.

Although there'd no be audience for such.

denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corresponds with their birth sex.

I just googled... takes less time than asking here 😆

I googled and saw that explanation too but couldn't understand it... That's why posted my question here

Edit: Does it mean those who aren't transgender are cisgender?

Movie about Gandhi's tumultuous personal life- including his sleeping naked with underage girls. Amitabh Bachchan could play the role well but no one would fund such a movie.

Lol...a million at least! This forum's bandwidth won't be enough if someone's to sit and list them...
I was just watching 'atonement' today and was wondering why can't BW ever make a movie with such a simple and brilliant story! Sigh!!!
