I am not sure of this genre in Hindi. But Malayalam and Tamil industry is full of movies where we have a grey hero, especially the Malayalam movies of 80s and early 90s. The scripting of these shows were so great that you root for the hero/heroine when he kills. Maybe that is why I am able to connect to Maya because she reminds me of those strong characters of Malayalam script. So if any one of you get these movies with English sub titles do check out

Malayalam

Rajavinte Makan- The movie that took Padmashree Bharat Mohanlal to super stardom. He played Vincent Gomez a gangster. Loosely adapted on Sidney Sheldon's Rage of Angels this movie will not make you leave the seat from first scene to last scene

Adhipan- Again Mohanlal. Thriller. Revenge perfect murders

Panchagni- Career best role of Geetha as Indira who is on a parole after a murder. Her need for justice overcomes everything, even her need to have a life

Devasuram- Mangalsseri Neelakantan( Another career best role of Mohanlal). Like Maya you will love to hate this man. But in the end, ends up loving him.

New Delhi- Mammooty steals the show in this thriller

Naduvazigal- Again Mohanlal and the last scene phew it is such a thriller

Tamil

Naayakan- Watch Kamalahasan in this Mani Ratnam movie and antagonist will be never the same again.

This is something I remember now. Will put as and when I remember it.
