Top 10 Unscripted Moments In Bollywood Movies

An actor should ideally follow the script strictly and perform as the director instructs them. But sometimes, actors tend to act freely and create some moments that weren’t meant to be in the movie. These moments can turn out to be pure cinematic gold at times. Surprisingly, some of the most memorable moments weren’t even supposed to be there, and today we look at some of the best unscripted moments in Bollywood movies.

The whole sequence leading up to the song Agar Tum Saath Ho is so emotional and heart-wrenching that it is bound to make everyone cry, and when the song comes on, it becomes even sadder. The whole sequence of both Ranbir and Deepika crying, Ranbir running away, and Deepika chasing him in the streets to comfort him was unscripted. They both felt what they had to do and gave us a beautiful moment.

4. Feeding The Pigeons (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)

This scene was impromptu and improvised by Big B. Amitabh was supposed to rehearse the scene in the absence of the director, with only the assistant director present. Still, he completely nailed it and delivered it perfectly in one take, which is the mark of a legendary actor.

7. Teja Main Hun (Andaz Apna Apna)

Andaz Apna Apna remains a true comedy classic of Bollywood and still holds up today. It has given us numerous iconic and memorable dialogues that get quoted even today. A dialogue that people many people reference while discussing the movie is the iconic Main Hun Teja.
