We have always been taught to root for the protagonist whenever we watch a film. However, the villains have been so iconic in some of the Bollywood movies that they have been remembered more than the heroes years after the release of the film.
Bollywood Dhamaka has brought you a list of the most legendary villains from the Hindi film industry who were too good at their jobs!
See them here:
1. Rauf Lala (Agneepath)
Rishi Kapoor wasn’t usually seen in notorious roles during the time he did films. However, his role as Rauf Lala created a major impact upon the audience and they appreciated the kind of aura he created for himself through this out-of-the-box role.
2. Chhedi Singh (Dabangg)
He might be a messiah in real life but no one plays the role of an antagonist better than Sonu Sood.
