10 Most Iconic Villains Of Bollywood

While we always root for the hero, but some of the Bollywood baddies have become so iconic that they will be remembered in the years to come. They are purely evil, and we can’t help but love to hate them. These villains have added the much-needed thrill and charm in the movies they acted in. Here is what’s latest in Bollywood. Take a look at the best iconic villains of Bollywood! 1. Amjad Khan as Gabbar Who can forget 'Sholay’s epic dialogues? But one of the best dialogues were spoken by the villain, Gabbar. “Kitne aadmi the?” still rings in our ears as soon as someone asks us to deliver a filmy dialogue. It’s only due to Amjad Khan’s honest portrayal of one of the evilest villains of Bollywood that the character has become eternal. Let’s just agree with one fact. If there was no Gabbar in Sholay, it would have been a body without soul. And there is no other actor who could have played this iconic character better than Amjad Khan. No other villain who is latest in Bollywood can ever compete with him. 2. Amrish Puri as Mogambo “Mogambo Khush Hua.” This simple line by Amrish Puri still brings a shiver down our spine. One of the most hated villains of Bollywood, Mogambo, didn’t spare even a single innocent soul. There is no doubt about the fact that Amrish Puri was one of the rarest gems of Bollywood that we have lost. 3. Naseeruddin Shah as Gulfaam Hassan All of us hate terrorists, and when such character pops up in a movie, we are bound to have our blood boiled. That’s why all of us rooted for the death of Gulfaam Hassan in the movie, 'Sarfarosh'. Naseeruddin Shah is a very convincing actor, so he gets consumed by the character. Not for a second did we believe that we are watching an actor. It seemed like he was a real person with flesh and blood who had conspired to bring terrorism in our country. It’s great to have been born in an era in which Naseeruddin Shah works. But his movies which are latest in Bollywood are more positive now. 4. Pran as Sher Khan In 'Zanjeer', Amitabh Bachchan hogged the limelight, but it was Sher Khan who made an impact through his subtly villainous act in the movie. Pran knew how to let evilness reflect in his eyes, as he acted in various movies. He was one of the most popular villains of his time. 5. Ashutosh Rana as Lajja Shankar Pandey Ashutosh Rana’s performances bring goosebumps to our body. He is the kind of villain who comes into your dreams and scares you. One of his most iconic performances was in the movie, Sangharsh. As Lajja Shankar Pandey, he kept us on the edge of our seat with our heart beating loudly. There is no other actor who can ever replace Ashutosh Rana’s scary expressions. He totally scared the audience with his eunuch avatar and even today this picture will give you goosebumps. Hell scary! 6. Prem Chopra as Prem Funny yet villainous, Prem Chopra is one of the coolest villains of his time. Despite his soft voice, he made it into the big bad world of Bollywood villains. Due to old age, he has stopped appearing in movies, but we always have the chance to skip the movies which are latest in Bollywood and rewatch some of the old Bollywood classics and marvel at this performances. Don't you remember, 'Prem Naam Hai Mera, Prem Chopra'? 7. Ranjeet as Ranjeet Bollywood’s iconic villain Ranjeet is never to be forgotten. This baddie has committed the maximum numbers of rapes on screen. You can never forget his locket and that lust in his eyes ever. He is undoubtedly one of the characters who acquired more fame than the real heroes. 8. Gulshan Grover as Kesariya Vilayati No one can forget the ‘Bad Man’ ever. He is one of the bad man whose name will always be etched in our memory. His rugged look as Kesariya Vilayati is still remembered. He totally made the ‘Bad Man’ dialogue epic and most remember him as the 'bad man'. 9. Ajit As Loin (Lion) 'Saara shehar mujhe Loin ke name se jaanta hai', we still remember this Loin (Lion). His individual style and characteristic accent sets him apart from other villains. Not only as Lion, Ajit also owned ‘Mona Darling’ dialogue in other film as 'Teja'. Still 'sara shehar' remember him as LOIN! 10. Kulbhushan Kharbanda as Shakaal Now we know what made this bald look so famous! Shakaal, the high-tech baddie will always be known for his spine-chilling performance. The movie although wasn’t successful but this character made its way into the hearts of millions who love to hate Shakaal. Tell us who your favourite iconic bad guy is!
