Lights, Camera, Action: 15 of most famous Bollywood Movie Cars

Through movies made in India, we have seen some amazing cars, both vintage classics, and supercars that our beloved superstars have driven. Today we are going to look back at the top 15 most famous Bollywood cars.

Lights, Camera, Action! Since horseback chases ceased to captivate audiences, cars have been used in movies, and producers haven't looked back. Whether you're watching an action movie or a romance, you almost certainly will see a new or classic car because today's movies include some of the most thrilling and fast-paced vehicles in the world. Bollywood movies have advanced significantly over the years and are now fierce competitors with all other film industries, although Hollywood was renowned for being the first to incorporate vehicles into its films. Let's look at some of the most recognizable vehicles seen in Bollywood movies.

Chalti ka Naam Gaadi

One of the most popular Bollywood movies in the world is the 1958 comedy starring Kishore Kumar and his siblings. The word "car" is used in the title of the movie, which should be a clue that vehicles play a significant role in the narrative. In fact, we got to see a 1928 Ford Model A, which was extremely beautiful. The coupe, which was visible throughout the film, is currently a prized collectible.

The Ford Model A's historic hood housed a 4.4-cylinder, 3.3L gasoline engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. At the time, the engine had a 40Ps power output, which was pretty amazing.

Kashmir ki Kali

In 1964, Shammi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore collaborated on the romantic comedy Kashmir ki Kali, which also served as the nation's introduction to the 1948 Studebaker Commander Convertible. We all got a peek at the American and Canadian auto industries thanks to the iconic song "Kahin Na Kahin," which featured a vintage car.

The In-Line gasoline engine in the 1948 Studebaker Commander Convertible had six cylinders, produced 94BHP, and displaced 3700cc. It was a two-door, five-seater ragtop convertible vehicle.

Aradhana

The song "Mera Sapno ki Rani" and the actors Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore are very well known in India. The romantic drama film Aradhana took home the Best Film prize at the 17th Filmfare Awards. However, the 1964 Willys Jeep CJ3B featured in the movie and particularly in the song has our attention a little more.

A 2.2L "Hurricane" gasoline engine producing 75PS propelled the strong vehicle. The 3-speed manual transmission system was mated to a 4-cylinder engine that had 4-Wheel-Drive. Mahindra produced the Willys Jeep in India, which was a natural choice given that they market vehicles with outstanding off-road capabilities.

Jewel Thief

Chevrolet is a brand we are all acquainted with now, but the automaker was also quite well-liked in Bollywood in the early 1960s. In fact, the Chevrolet Impala was a very common choice for the villains in Bollywood movies. However, the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air was featured in the 1967 film Jewel Thief. One of the famous movies starring Tanuja and Dev Anand, "Ye Dil Na Hota Bechara" has a Bel Air convertible in one of the songs.

The 4.3L V8 petrol engine under the hood of the Bel Air was able to provide 162 Ps of power. As you can see, that figure exceeds the majority of the cars that were readily accessible at that time by a wide margin. Because of all it had to offer, the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air soon rose to the top of the list of used vehicles sold worldwide.

Haathi Mere Saathi

The Chevrolet Impala was among the most well-known vehicles utilized in Bollywood, as was previously mentioned. One of the most successful films to come out of the Indian film industry is by far Haathi Mere Saathi. In the well-known song "Chal Chal Mere Haathi," the movie's leading man Rajesh Khanna utilizes an elephant to aid Tanuja and her 1958 Chevrolet Impala.

The 1958 Impala was equipped with a 3.9L gasoline engine and a 3-speed manual transmission. We may guess that a number of RC transfers were prepared as a result of the Impala's high level of popularity at the time in the nation.| Engine | 3.9L, 6-Cylinder Petrol ||---------------|-------------------------|| Maximum Power | NA || Transmission | 3-Speed Manual |

Dil Chahta Hai

Despite being a 2001 release, Dil Chahta Hai is definitely one of the most-watched movies today. The story revolves around the characters played by Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Khanna, three friends who plan to drive to Goa. A Mercedes-Benz 300 SL convertible, which is visible throughout the film, serves as their means of transportation.

The 6-cylinder 3.0L petrol engine inside the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL cranks out an amazing 228BHP. A manual transmission, which was relatively widespread in the early 2000s, is coupled to the engine.

While Taarzan - The Wonder Car was undoubtedly not the biggest smash at movie theaters nationwide, it did draw attention to Dilip Chhabria, better known as DC Design, one of India's most promising and up-and-coming automakers.

The Wonder Car's 2.2L gasoline engine, which produces 130BHP, was actually a Toyota MR2 that had been given a makeover. Additionally, 5-speed manual transmission was attached to it.

Combined with the potent engine is a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission. The Audi RB V10 is a vehicle to watch out for in the upcoming months.
