King of Bollywood is a 2004 Hindi-language film that is a delightful combination of comedy, drama, and romance. The film is directed by Piyush Jha and stars Om Puri, a veteran of the Hindi film industry. Alongside him is Sophie Dahl, the British supermodel and actress, who makes her Bollywood debut with this film. The story revolves around the life of a famous film star, Karan ("The King of Bollywood"), who is at the peak of his career but has a reputation for being arrogant and difficult to work with. He is constantly in the news for his antics, and his antics are both cheered and criticized by his fans and the media.

Karan's latest film is in production, but his behavior on the set is causing problems. In a desperate attempt to save the film and his own reputation, his producers decide to replace him with an unknown actor named Raj, who bears a striking resemblance to Karan. Raj, a struggling actor from a small town, is overjoyed at the opportunity to work on a big-budget film with a famous director.

The film's plot takes a twist when Raj is mistaken for Karan by a group of gangsters who are after the real Karan. The gangsters kidnap him, and Raj finds himself in a situation beyond his wildest dreams. He is now in the limelight, both as the leading man in Karan's hit film and for his involvement with the gangsters.

Raj adapts quickly to his new life, but he is not happy living a lie. He has to constantly remind himself that he is playing a role, and his growing attraction to the film's female lead, Preeti, further complicates matters. As Raj tries to navigate through his double role, he discovers the ugly side of show business—the politics, backstabbing, and betrayal that come with it.

The film is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with twists and turns, as Raj tries to maintain his double persona. Om Puri delivers an outstanding performance as Karan and Raj, displaying the different nuances and mannerisms of a superstar and a simple, small-town boy. Sophie Dahl, too, shines in her role as Preeti, a feisty and independent actress, who supports Raj through his ordeal.

The film's direction and screenplay are excellent, with sharp dialogues, witty one-liners, and hilarious situations that keep the audience laughing throughout. The music of the film is another highlight, with catchy tunes and foot-tapping beats that linger long after the film is over.

Overall, King of Bollywood is a must-watch for anyone who loves Hindi films. It is an entertaining, fun-filled movie that showcases the best of Bollywood—the glamour, drama, romance, and music—but with a fresh and unique twist. The film is a tribute to the Hindi film industry and the thousands of people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to bring magic to the screen.
