10 Bollywood Movies We Wish Had A Happy Ending!
Some Bollywood movies could have had alternate and happy endings. Isn't it?! Here we have the list of such Bolly flicks!

As Shah Rukh Khan famously said in Om Shanti Om, "Picture ke end mein sab kuch theek ho jaata hai aur agar aisa na ho, toh samajh lena, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost."
No matter how dreamy and almost utopic the world of Bollywood looks like, sometimes Bollywood is just a little too real.
So, here's how we expected these heart-breaking Bollywood movie endings to be:
1. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela
Alternate Ending - Ram and Leela's families accept their love over caste and clan.
So, you were so deeply lost in the love story of Ram and Leela that you almost forgot that it is based on the plot of Romeo and Juliet. It became your shared tragedy then, didn't it?
2. Lootera
Alternate Ending - Varun hangs the last leaf safely and returns to a healthy Pakhi.
Although we know O. Henry's novel 'The Last Leaf', the book on which the movie is based, is a sad story, we were still expecting a typically happy Bollywood ending. However, Varun had to ditch our predictable idea of a safe union as he died while hanging the last leaf on the tree.
3. Kai Po Che!
Alternate Ending - Ishaan successfully stops Omi from killing Ali, making him realize his mistake.
Most of us have read Chetan Bhagat's "3 Mistakes of my life". The film -Kai Po Che- promoted in us the same high spirits of friendship, only to make us question them in the end.
Alternate Ending - Silk overcomes her hardships and leads a more fulfilling life.
As much as they wanted, Dirty Picture wasn't just about "Entertainment... Entertainment... Entertainment". Based on Silk Smitha's real life, Vidya Balan's portrayal does justice to the role but definitely not to our hearts as she eventually gives in to defamation, taking her own life in the end.
5. Jannat
Alternate Ending - Zoya leads Arjun onto the right path and they live happily ever after.
Didn't you just want to curl up into yourself after Arjun was shot. If you're anything like me, you too were probably waiting for the couple's 'happily ever after'.
Alternate Ending - Aman Mathur recovers from his cancer and attends Naina & Rohit's wedding.
In this movie although Aman taught us to bear a positive attitude, his death or say in 'Kal Ho Na Ho' was nothing less than a personal tragedy for some people.
Alternate Ending - DJ and the gang don't die and succeed in their fight against corruption, setting a heroic example.
Aamir Khan's DJ famously excited the feeling of patriotism and the spirit of nationalism in the audiences around the country. These freedom fighters in disguise, however, eventually fall victim to the very corruption they were fighting against and left us feeling extremely empty inside.
8. Aashiqui 2
Alternate Ending - Aarohi helps Rahul get over his alcoholism and their love story goes on forever.
It would be a total lie if we say that Aashiqui 2 did not sweep us off our feet. After seeing the beautifully budding romance between Rahul and Aarohi, Rahul's death in the end saw more than a few crying fits in movie halls everywhere.
9. Raanjhanaa
Alternate Ending - Zoya recognises Kundan's true love for her and forgives him before it's too late.
We laughed with Kundan and Panditji and almost supported him in his long time quest for his love, Zoya. However, all his efforts to make Zoya happy proved to be futile as he only wins her affection in death.
10. Agneepath
Alternate Ending - Vijay unites with his family after defeating Kancha.
No matter how much the movie's action sequences and Vijay's heroic presence thrilled us, watching him die in his mother's hands was definitely a bittersweet ending.
If only these endings were true...

Sanam Teri Kasam is definitely from the list... Its the best film of 2016 so far along with Neerja... Along with STK, feel like Guzarish too deserve a happy ending!! And yup, feel like Ramleela and Aashiqui 2 certainly encouraged suicide, as if its the only last resort there has to be...

I think Kal Ho Na Ho justified the sad ending!!!! Unfortunately Ram-Leela's sad ending cannot be changed as the Bard had written it!!!!

I jz hate sad endings. .make everyone cry to the fullest in between the film but they must go smiling from the theatre hall... Kal ho na ho is related to many's life so I always wanted a good ending so that ppl like aman could get hopes that possibly I may live.. Esp in bollywood, sad endings are like nah!! Doesn't suit bollywood but make cry..

I dont like sad endings. However among the movies mentioned here, i feel two of the movies doesn't need a sad ending at all. I felt bakwas and not at all needed. Ramleela and ashiqui 2 are those. Rest of the movies did justice with the sand endings thought i wished a happy ending.
