Which actors have done which role so perfectly that no one else can be imagined in place of them in that role and no one else can recreate or match it?


My picks would be - Amrish Puri in Mr India, Amjad Khan in Sholay, Amitabh in Deewar, Kaala Patthar, Shakti, Agneepath, Trishul, SRK in Darr, Entire cast of AAA and Hera Pheri, Utpal Dutt in Golmaal, Hema in Seeta Aur Geeta.

Some that I can remember at the top of my head -

Meena Kumari in Sahib, Bibi Aur Ghulam. There are a few other performances of hers which are fantastic. Need to go look at my list for the film names.

Rekha in Umrao Jaan

The trio of Hera Pheri

Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi in Munnabhai series

The entire cast of Angoor 

Pran's character as the maghroor rich man in some of the older movies

Chabbi Biswas in Kabuliwala

Govinda in movies like Hero No.1, Coolie No.1, Aunty No.1

Amitabh Bachchan in Don, Deewar, Trishul, Paa and Piku

Priyanka in Saat Khoon Maaf and Barfi

Prithviraj kapoor as aged Akbar 


Hrithik as young Akbar 


Ranveer Singh as Baji rao


Ash as young Jodha Bai 


Dilip Kumar as young Salim 


Madhubala as anarkali 


Sanjay Dutt as Munnabhai 


Arshad Warsi as Circuit


SRK in Darr as the antagonist 


Ashuosh Rana ain Dushman as ward boy 


Amjad Khan in sholay


Amrish Puri as Mogambo 


Sunny Deol as lawyer Govind in Damini 




I doubt any new actor can do these roles better than these who already did

Really good list.

I agree on cast of Mughal e Azam.

I would add Sanjeev Kumar in Mausam, Dilip Kumar as Devdas, Suchitra Sen as Paro in old Devdas, Dilip Kumar in Mashaal, Sanjay Dutt in Vaastav and Khalnayak, Amitabh in Agneepath, Trishul, Kaala Patthar, Zanjeer, Shakti, Smita Patil in Mirch Masala, Shabana Azmi in Godmother, Rani in Black, Rekha in Umrao Jaan, Danny Denzogpa in Agneepath, Sunny Deol in Damini, Manoj Bajpai in Satya.

I totally agree on Ashutosh Rana in Dushman. He terrorised me as a kid. I would also add his role in Sangharsh.
