Is The Era Of Scary Villains In Bollywood Over?

There are villains and there are people who leave a special mark on our hearts with their negative roles and negativity. In Bollywood, the villains without a strong negative profile make the Hindi movie incomplete.  They are the cruelest personalities in Bollywood films and the struggle between good and evil makes our Bollywood films successful and unforgettable.

 Bollywood has set a mentality about will that is so dark that when we think about villains, what comes into our minds is someone cruel, powerful, merciless, ruthless beings with absolute no and made to extremely hate them. Remember, Gabbar played by Amjad Khan in Sholay was an epic villain defined by his squeaky baritone, shifty, slit-like, almost sleazy, and one of the Bollywood greatest villains of all time. Some other examples of such ruthless villains of Bollywood are Bogambo played by Amrish Puri in Mr. India, Rahul Mehra played by SRK in Darr, and Crime Master Gogo played by Shakti Kapoor in Andaz Apna Apna, etc. 

 However, the era of villains is totally involved to take place on a micro-scale. The name, the face, and the inherent style a villain possesses have gone through the entire gamut of cinema. Now, the villains are regular normal people who are secretly cunning, don’t hold a negative look, and are extremely difficult to point out. 

For instance, let’s talk about Ronit Roy in Boss, who perfectly embodied the role of a corrupt cop. His performance put the audience into a dilemma is he really a villain because of his dapper look.

But, the villain in KGF2, Garuda, is clearly one of the most maniacal villains we have had in decades. His long, unkempt, fully grown beard made him look like a devil in human form. Truly, he brought nostalgia to villains of the 90s after becoming an exception.
