‘Mera Baap Chor Hai’, this iconic tattoo has certainly made its name in the history of Bollywood cinema. The baap in this cinema was ‘Anand Verma’(Satyendra Kapoor), and he certainly did inspire Amitabh to fight for his rights (although later circumstances led him to becoming a criminal). Much like this, Fathers have played an important role in many of the Bollywood movies. While some have been Good and some have been Bad, we’ve had father figures embracing various emotions onscreen.
