excellent antagonists...a challenge for heroes - Page 5

Haven't seen the movie Aksar but yes, of course used to listen to 'jhalak dikhla ja' song on loop 😆 so many stories were there for this song ...all were bullshit but as a kid I used to believe them 🤷😅

Others have mentioned it as well but Ashutosh Rana as the psycho r*pist serial killer in Dushman scared the living daylights out of me!

Plenty.

Amrish Puri in Mr India. He is the soul of that film and prime reason why film is still memorable.

Amjad Khan as Gabbar Singh in Sholay was top notch villain and worth the chase, worthy of needing 2 men like Amitabh and Dharam fight against him.

Kajol in Gupt is the soul of that film. The film is nothing without her obsessive character.

Ashutosh Rana in Dushman and Sangharsh is the one who adds the spine chilling suspense in the films.

Ajit in Zanjeer and Kaalicharan is frankly more charismatic than the hero and a worthy challenge.

I also felt Kabir Bedi was a hugely charismatic and effective villain in Yalgaar and Khoon bhari maang.

Amrish IMO is generally top class in whatever films he does and shines even in less known or B grade films, both as character actor and villain.

Lalita Pawar is iconic as the bitchy saas or sauteli ma in most old films she did. So effective that it is her face that comes to mind when you think of evil MIL.

I believe solid villains, antagonists and well written character actors elevate a film and are a worthy challenge or support to hero and heroine.

Stories like? And yeah well that song was extremely popular at that time, was played literally everywhere, at every party etc. Himesh Reshammiya was the “it” man back then 😆 His songs were a rage.

Stories like if you keep playing this song 'Jhalak dikhla jaa' repeatedly then ghosts may appear and show you their jhalak 🤣 another one was people in weddings/parties used to resist playing this song again for the same reason, so many folks used to experience ghostly presence after playing this song during late nights and blah blah. There were many, and frankly speaking it spooked me. 😆

Agreed. I have started disliking him after this movie (such good actor he is) 🤷

Ranveer Singh in Padmavat as the tyrant Khilji was outstanding. Both Deepika and Shahid looked so feeka in comparison!

Okay now I am scared 🤔

Uh! Don't be. You are not gonna play that song, so why to afraid (and no, I'm not spooking you out) 👻

Nobody can overshadow Amitabh Bacchan but the OG Kancha Cheena, Danny in Agneepath was brilliant!

I didn't watch Humraaz as it is inspired by a Michael Douglas movie I still have very well in mind. I read about the movie when I looked for movies with Akshaye Khanna...but as I like Akshaye's acting, I may give it a try 😊

I was never interested in Aksar although I know a rather famous song from the movie....but with your recommendation, I at least put it on my list 😊

Yes, Danny is really good (I watched both versions)...the last time I watched him, was in Uunchai

Edit: Oh, you wrote about the song 😆
