Rajat Arora (born 23 July 1975) is an independent screenwriter who has worked in the Indian film and television industry for over two decades.
His experience lies in punch-packed dialogues, and he has delivered a spate of hit movies like Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), The Dirty Picture (2011), Kick (2014), Gabbar Is Back (2015) and Taxi No. 9211 (2006).
His versatile writing pans most genres including action, comedy-drama, superhero stories, romantic musicals, and biopics.
Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010) is a critically acclaimed gangster movie. This blockbuster gained a cult status, especially for its powerful, motivational, insightful dialogues that have become street-speak for Indian audience.
Rajat Arora's script for The Dirty Picture (2011), which is loosely based on the life and times of a South Indian actor, riled up a feminist discourse and led to several discussions around the role of women in Indian society.
The Times of India movie review mentions, "The naughty dialogues (Rajat Arora) of the film add immense flavour to the proceedings. It's a no-holds-barred screenplay that rightly refuses to treat sex as a three-letter word. The Dirty Picture is not only your film for the week, but is a seminal work that will be studied in feminist discourses."[2]
Baadshaho (2017), a period action-thriller, was directed by Milan Luthria and starred by Hindi Film superstar Ajay Devgn. The movie did well, and the dialogue received the audience's appreciation.
AZHAR (2016), a biographical sports drama based on life of the most controversial Indian Cricket Captain was produced by Sony Pictures and Balaji Telefilms.
Hindi dubbed version of the International blockbuster Captain Marvel (2019) was scripted by Rajat Aroraa. It retained the core essence and emotions of the original and was yet relatable for Hindi speaking audience. As Aroraa said in a statement, "It is a very significant film being the first Marvel female superhero film and I am thrilled to be a part of the project!".
Rajat's next is Thalaivi - a trilingual biopic based on life and times of J. Jayalalithaa, late politician and film actress who served as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, with Kangana Ranaut playing the lead.
Also in production is the Hindi remake of Telugu super hit film RX 100 to mark the debut of Ahan Shetty, son of veteran actor Sunil Shetty.
