Why are filmmakers so inclined towards portraying illnesses on screen? Are they a sure shot formula to set the cash registers ringing or yet again the influence of Hollywood with movies like Forest Gump, Rain Man, Curious Case of Benjamin Button etc.

Just the mention of illness is enough to send audience running to the theatres to watch it to see how the illness has been used in the movie and the struggle of the protagonist. Though these movies also provide us with a lot of information, these movies can also be viewed as a sincere effort trying to make the world a better place.
