About King of Bollywood
London-based Crystal Chaurasia convinces the International Film Commission to authorize a documentary on Bollywood's yesteryear mega-actor, Karan Kumar. She travels with her photographer Jeremy to Mumbai and not only gets to meet the legendary actor but also his publicity-shy son Rahul and his alcoholic, reclusive former-actress wife Mandira. It is here Crystal will be drawn into continuing her documentary in London where she will witness the making of Karan's next movie 'Dhak Dhak' in which he decides to not only produce and direct but also hilariously play the role of a college student.
Directed by Piyush Jha, King of Bollywood leans on a strong ensemble — Om Puri, Sophie Dahl, Murali Sharma — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2004.
