Shakespeare inspired Bollywood in a big way

Bollywood has always put on celluloid works of great literateurs and William Shakespeare had inspired many intellectual Bollywood filmmakers. Though Vishal Bhardwaj has to his credit of immortalising Shakespeare plays in his films, there have been other filmmakers too who have made movies based on his plays. The latest being Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Haider', which is based on the 17th century tragedy ''Hamlet''. Five National Awards-winning 'Haider' stars Shahid Kapoor as the titular protagonist, and co-stars Tabu, Shraddha Kapoor and Kay Kay Menon. 'Haider' is the third installment of Bhardwaj's Shakespearean trilogy after Maqbool (2003) and Omkara (2006). On the occassion of his 450th Birth anniversary, we bring you a list of movies inspired by his plays.
