The majority of Bollywood films, all end with a happy ending....they leave you with the feel good factor, so it can often ensure a films success.

Are there any films that have ended on a sad note, yet been successful? (i.e where all the lead characters remain alive, and the ending is sad yet upbeat)

Both happy and sad endings are successful in Hollywood...but i can't seem to find any in Bollywood. Any ideas?

(The only one i can think of is Mughal-e-Azam)

Even I can't really think of one!!

The only sad ending but successful at the box office that I can remember is Devdas where at the end Devdas died without meeting Paro!That was really sad! 😭 😭 😭

I'll think about it again and if possible I'll add some more later! 😊

Oh there are planty -- for instance take Kamal Hussan and Rati Agniohtri starr Ek Duja Ke Liya -- It was a complete hit... The story had both lovers die and it recreated sort of a fashion state for lovers of Real world... They committed suicides if the parents or society didn't approve of their love...

There is also QTQS which stared Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla... Both became superstars over night...

Heer Ranja which starred Rishi Kapoor and Ranjeeta... Their chemistry was so instance that people forget about Bobby (Dimpla Kapadia)... 😉

In "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro" which is a comedy movie Truth doesnt win at the end but Corruption wins......protagonist ends up in jail at the end .....actually this movie showed the real picture of society

another is Rang De Basanti i can say

Omrao jaan doesnt have happy ending

Arth, Nikaah and Sur. But these are not mainstream masala movies.
