If there is any one genre that has been royally ignored by Bollywood, it has to be science-fiction, or so the pseudo-Hollywood geeks claim. However, little would they know that we don't need sci-fi because we have our own brand of films which would put any Hollywood sci-fi film to shame. How you ask? Well for starters, most of our films are set in the realm of imagination. Time travel is no big deal in B-town; they do it all the time. Characters that morph into completely different beings in a matter of minutes? Been doing it for a while now. And if you are missing the aliens dressed up in spacesuits, please refer to the films filed under the '80s to find such blingy specimen of actors, you'd need sunglasses to look at them. Here's listing the reasons why we will never really miss sci-fi in Bollywood.

1. The Mahabharata diet

Have you ever seen an unassuming, frail and elderly gentleman perform miracles that would stun everyone? We have! Our devotional films are nothing but pure sci-fi. Be it curing the ill or punishing the evil, our gods do it with a swag of their own. Being as divine as they are, they can achieve the impossible with the flick of a finger and they do so with panache. Such is our devotion to these on-screen Gods that they are worshipped even off-screen. Can even Harry Potter claim such a fan-following?

3. Teleport

While Hollywood has established a connection with the extra-terrestrials only recently, Bollywood has always been on good terms with the space cadets. According to a treaty between the space centre and B-town, a lot of aliens visited Earth during the '80s. Being true to their word, we integrated them in our films. Everything - right from their blingy costumes to their gravity-defying hair-dos were a tribute to our non-Earth friends.
