Bad Men of Bollywood !

Bollywood produces loads of movies every year. (more than any other country, I guess.) The songs, stories, characters portrayed are famous all over. Bollywood flicks have made many people famous by the character they once played. (Many times the person is called by their character’s name rather their own !!) ย 

Last night I was watchingย Sholay (one of the BEST films of all times) and that reminded me of theย Baddies or Bad menย Bollywoodย movies have produced. Here is a list ofย myย favoriteย orย most lovedย Villainsย ย of all times. A list of all theย Bad men of Bollywood !

  • Amjad Khan a.k.aย Gabbar Singh

Well as the famous line byย Amitabh Bachchan, “Hum jahan khade hote hain, line wahin se shuru hoti hai” (Wherever I stand, the queue starts from there.),ย any list ofย Villains is incomplete withoutย Gabbar Singh.

His characteristic walking style, dialogues have made him famous. His most famous dialogue “Kitney Aadmi they ??” (How many men were there ?)ย is know to everyone, be it a 5 year old kid or a 85 year old uncle ! He is undoubtedly the undisputed Baddy of all times.

  • Ambrish Puri a.k.aย Mogambo

Mogambo khush hua !” (Mogambo is happy)ย is the line that madeย Ambrishย Puri famous. I admire his acting skills. He has done many roles other than villain but he is famous for hisย baddyย skills !

  • Prem Chopra

Well he is anotherย baddy who can’t be missed from any list. His famous dialogue “Main wo bala hu jo sheshay se pathar ko todtee hai” which closely translates to “I am that trouble which crushes stones with glass“. His characteristic laugh and dialogue is what I admire.

  • Gulshan Grover a.k.a Bad Man

Bad Man has done many bad roles for a brief time in Hindi cinema. His famous dialouge “Dil garden garden hogaya ”ย that translates into “I am very delighted.”ย is loved by everyone. He has been portrayed as baddyย in many films.

  • Prakash Raj a.k.a.ย Jaykant Shikre

He has become the newย baddyย in the recent times. From south-indian cinema toย Bollywoodย has been a remarkable one. He started with Wanted,ย then Singham, Bodyguardย and upcomingย Mumbai Mirror.ย I was moved by his skills inย Singham.ย He has surely portrayed the newย Bollywood Baddy.ย

  • Pran a.k.aย Barkhurdaar

Pran Sahab has to be the most admirable villain in Bollywood. His trademark style with a cigar in his hand and his famous dialog “Barkhurdaar”.ย One of his famous movie isย Zanjeerย with some classic dialogs my favorite being “Baarah junglee kutte milkar sher ko maar daalte hai

So, these were the Bad Men whom I admire. Be itย Gabbarย Singhย or Jaykant Shikre, these men have surely become the Bad face of Bollywood. The list can go on and on with people like Ajit, McMohan, Ashutosh Rana and many other baddies. That brings us to the end of Bad men of Bollywood list, hope you liked it ๐Ÿ™‚

    Nice and ominous list. Pran is more than a classic baddie, he is the baddie with heart. Amjad and Amrish Puri are the stuff legends are made of. My list includes SRK himself, and Saswata, the guy who played Bob Biswas in Kahani.
