There are great personalities and there are great stories. While the former tells the success story of someone you admire, the latter comprises stories of people you will come to admire by the time you're done with them. Which brings us to biopics. Now, you may have noticed that Bollywood is undergoing a biopic boom of sorts, what with Mary Kom and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag paving the way. What better way to learn of these awesome Indians than over a tub of popcorn, at your favourite theatre? Do note, this list is a mix.

8. Sudhanshu Biswas - Freedom fighter to educator

95-year-old Sudhanshu Biswas fought for the country in his youth and age has not tired him. Biswas, a freedom-fighter, now runs Sri Ramakrishna Sevashram (SRKS) in a village 35 kms from Kolkata. In his teens, Biswas left the comforts of his home to fight for India's freedom. He carried 'live bombs', survived gun battles, was jailed by the British. Nothing ever stopped him. Founded by Biswas, SRKS is a home to thousands of orphan children. Not just that, this man has also set-up 18 free schools for underprivileged children. If that's not inspirational, we don't know what is.

Formal World Chess Champion and currently an Indian Chessmaster, Viswanathan Anand's story of concentration would make a great film.
