7 mind-blowing Hindi movie endings that you never saw coming
If you are a movie buff, then for you, the climax of any film holds as much importance as the storyline, the casting, or the plot does. A movie without a good climax will fall flat and might make your entire movie-watching experience boring. But the power of a good climax is that it will make you think about the plot even after you step out of the theatre. Well, there are many such films whose climax is still talked about. Today, we bring to you a list of the 7 best climaxes in a Bollywood film.
1. Talaash
The 2012 film starring Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of the most iconic ones. The climax will always remain one of the best, as it was completely unexpected. The Sitaare Zameen Par star plays a cop who is trying to solve the mystery behind a murder and deals with the grief of his son's accidental drowning at the same time. He comes across a s*x worker during this investigation and finds emotional solace with her. But it is only at the end that it is revealed that Bebo's character Rosie was dead from the start, and she was trying to bring justice to her own death.
2. Masaan
A film that portrays some of the finest performances by actors like Vicky Kaushal and Richa Chadha. This film became the gateway to Bollywood for the Chaava actor. Well, this is a beautiful film with stories of two different individual belonging to two different cities and dealing with their own difficulties, meeting in the end. It is one of the most inspirational and powerful climaxes with an amalgamation of grief, liberation, hope and a lot of mixed emotions.
3. Kal Ho Naa Ho
Sometimes, it's not about happy endings, and this Karan Johar directorial starring Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta is a classic example of it. A film whose ending is not an unexpected one yet manages to bring out all the grief from within. With SRK lying on the deathbed and every character in the film bidding their emotional goodbyes, the climax is surely going to make you cry hard, no matter what age you are and no matter if you are watching it for the nth time. This one surely classifies to be one of the most emotional endings in Bollywood.
4. Drishyam
One of Ajay Devgn 's best thriller films of all time has to be this one. The film, which also stars Tabu, who plays the IG of Goa, was also one of the highest-grossing films of the year. The story is about a common man going to extreme lengths in protecting his family after his daughter accidentally kills the IG's son. The climax comes as a surprise to everyone when the viewers are made to believe that the police have finally cracked the case, and just when Ajay's character is cornered by Tabu's, it's revealed that he has already buried the body beneath the new police station building. And the case is closed.
5. Barfi
Not every film has to have a powerful and twisting climax. There are times when even the simplest of endings create a big impact and make the viewers leave the theatre with a happy heart. Well, Barfi is just that! The Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra starrer was a beautiful film with a mentally challenged girl crossing paths with a man who is dumb and deaf. How they meet, develop feelings for each other, get married and even pass away very peacefully in each other's arms is just what we need to see sometimes.
6. Kahaani
The amount of shock Vidya Balan's 2012 film's climax has given the viewers will always be incomparable. Vidya Bagchi, pregnant and grieving, arrives in Kolkata in search of her missing husband. Suspense arises when she confronts a man who looks like her husband and kills him. It is revealed in the end that she was faking her pregnancy all throughout, and this hit like a thunderbolt to the viewers. The twist was that she was a trained intelligence officer planning revenge for her real husband's death.
7. Lunchbox
Lunchbox will always remain a special film not only because it stars the late Irrfan Khan but also because it portrays a unique love story. Ila, played by Nimrat Kaur, is trapped in a lonely marriage. Her lunchbox she mistakenly sends to her husband, reaches Saajan, played by Irrfan, and they form a bond. After several exchanges of notes, Ila decides to leave her unhappy marriage and plans to elope with Saajan, who, in the end, has a change of heart. But when he finally starts searching for her again, the film ends without giving closure to the audience on whether these two met or not.
There are many other films whose climaxes will always be remembered, and it enhances the entire experience of watching the particular film. But our favorite remains the ones listed above.

‘What wrong is Deepika demanding?': Kajol and Rani did 8-hour shifts too, says director Siddharth P. Malhotra as Bollywood debate heats up
Last month, reports broke that Deepika Padukone had stepped away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's much-anticipated Telugu cop drama Spirit . The reason? Her request for an eight-hour workday . The demand, made just eight months after the birth of her daughter Dua Padukone, sparked debate across the industry and social media, with many questioning whether actors should dictate such terms in big-budget productions. Now, director Siddharth P Malhotra has come out in her support, pointing out that such working conditions are not only reasonable but have long existed in the industry. 'She's asking for family time, what wrong...' Speaking to IANS, Malhotra recalled wrapping his 2018 film Hichki —starring Rani Mukerji—in just 28 eight-hour shifts. The film, produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films , marked Rani's return to the screen after giving birth to her daughter Adira in 2015. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I Tried the $0.87 Generic Viagra and Here's What Happened! fridayplans Learn More Undo 'For 14 months, I have been there in front of her face. So I kept asking myself, 'Is it going to be worth it?'' Rani had shared in a past interview, reflecting on her emotional struggle as a new mother rejoining work. But Malhotra confirmed the working hours were kept tight and clear. 'She's asking for family time, what wrong is she demanding?' he asked bluntly. 'People are just gaining publicity in the name of Deepika Padukone.'

'When I shot with Kajol in 2010, she used to do eight-hour shifts. She made it very clear she'd either come from 10 am to 6 pm or 7 am to 2 pm,' he said, underscoring that the practice predates the current noise around Deepika's decision. Kajol recently echoed this sentiment to PTI, stating, 'I didn't work for 20 or 30 hours. I was always very clear that we would work a certain amount only, and my mom (veteran actor Tanuja) also backed me up big time on it.' 'If It Doesn't Suit You, Don't Work With Her' Malhotra believes that directors should match their production plans with the availability of their actors—especially when such conditions are set transparently from the outset.

Here is what we know 'If Deepika Padukone has made these conditions clear right from the start, then the director shouldn't work with her if it doesn't suit them,' he said. 'If I need an actor and am confident I can finish the film within those working hours, I'd work with them even for six hours a day.' He added that if Vanga's vision for Spirit required longer working hours, he was within his rights to recast. And that's exactly what has happened: Vanga has now brought Animal star Triptii Dimri on board as the lead opposite Prabhas in the film. While the industry is known for grueling shifts and punishing timelines, the conversation sparked by Padukone's stance opens a new chapter—one that addresses work-life balance , especially for women returning to work post-motherhood.
