100 Years of Indian Cinema: The most dramatic death scenes in Bollywood films

Death is never that simple in Bollywood. The protagonist never dies peacefully. Before dying he or she always has to say the last few words in the most painful manner. Dramatizing something as grave as death has been Bollywood's forte. We look at some of the most dramatic, poignant death scenes from Bollywood films.Perhaps each and every scene from Ramesh Sippy's 'Sholay' can be called a classic. The last scene where Jay(Bachchan) dies in front of his friend Veeru (Dharmendra) the mystery behind the coin is revealed is bound to get a lump in the throat.

In Mehboob Khan's 'Mother India' a righteous Radha (Nargis) shoots her younger son Birju (Sunil Dutt), a bandit who kidnaps a girl of his village on her wedding day. While fleeing with the girl, Birju is warned by Radha to let the girl go. When he diesnt relent, Radha shoots him and Birju eventually dies in his mother's arms.

Probably one of the creepiest scenes from Abbas Mustan's 'Baazigar' has Shah Rukh Khan placing a nervous Shilpa Shetty on the edge of a high rise building lovingly. While convincing her that she need not be scared since he is there to hold her back, SRK throws her off the building.
