Vidya Balan and Mangesh Desai in Ekk Albela (2016)
When Hindi cinema (Bollywood) was still in its infancy during 1940s, a simpleton emerged in to a superstar on sheer talent and grit & gave India a film dance form that became her own. Master Bhagwan alias Bhagwan Dada, with no conventional Hero looks but with inexorable passion for cinema jumped in to the studios. He started as action hero in the silent films, got fame, was cheated out, but sprang back to his best. Adding dance to his gamut, he invented a style that generations of famous actors and common people in India alike cherish even today. His own life story is worth becoming a biopic on Indian filmmaker, with a title resembling to his most successful film Albela.
