Jannat — it's a Bollywood movie, it's story of a bettor who has kind of a six sense and knows who is gonna win, and how greediness can destroy lives.
Adding to the list of Bollywood Betting movies -
Do Dooni Chaar (2010) - The film is based on the character named, Santosh Duggal's (Rishi Kapoor) son Sandy Duggal. He is seen indulged in cricket betting at a very young age. This habit lands Sandy and his family into trouble. This film also gives out a subtle message about the negatives of betting.
Kudos to the two posters above me, I came to this thread thinking about Jannat (I actually do NOT watch Bollywood movies at all but there were a few times I was held to a film or two by means of hostake taking heh). There are a few other movies that come to mind but I can't recall their titles.
They're basically two categories for me: the first deals with some kind of idiot savant who makes all kinds of calculations in their mind (sort of like a human Moneyball software), and the latter dealing with some kind of fixing. We in Asia are probably familiar with the latter, it pervades sports here like you wouldn't know!
Well then, guys. Maybe it's time for list of some Bollywood movies as well?
Your gambling market and betting standards look both really interesting and quite controversial
If you have another Asian movies of this genre that are worth watching, then put them here.
