Book Description
The Almost Impossible Bollywood Quiz by Rohit Jayakaran covers 50 quizzes featuring some of the most iconic Bollywood films. These Hindi films have entertained us by making us laugh and cry over the decades. Each quiz is based solely on the events that take place within the story of the film. If you would like to challenge your knowledge about a film, I recommend first attempting the quiz without the multiple choices. Since getting all the answers correct is almost impossible, each quiz is followed by a version that includes clues in the form of multiple choices. The Hindi films covered in this book are - Sholay, Mr. India, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Khiladi, Baazigar, Andaz Apna Apna, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Coolie No. 1, Rangeela, Yes Boss, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Chahta Hai, Lagaan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Munna Bhai MBBS, Kal Ho Na Ho, Main Hoon Na, Dhoom, Swades, Bunty and Babli, Rang De Basanti, Om Shanti Om, Jab We Met, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Race, Rock On, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Singh Is Kinng, 3 Idiots, Wake Up Sid, Dabangg, Band Baaja Baaraat, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Tanu Weds Manu, Desi Boyz, Ra.One, Barfi, Dabangg 2, Chennai Express, Queen, Special 26, Kai Po Che, Krrish 3, PK, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Luka Chuppi.Some of the biggest Indian Cinema actors starred in the films covered in this book.
