Bollywood's Great Characters

#1. Gabber Singh

Kitne Aadmi the? Sardaar, aapke saamne ek bhi nahi. The tobacco chewing, arm-amputating, hero-girlfriend-dance-watching dacoit with a penchant for loud dramatic monologues became the basis for every Daku since then. He forms the second part of the Trinity. Jo darr gaya, samjho mar gaya.

#2. Mogamboo

Mogamboo Khush hua! The orange hair, the gold laced tunics, the wonderful lackeys (Teja, Daga and the Chinese Dr. Fumanchu!), the intent of destroying and ruling over India one day and his propensity for asking footsoldiers to throw themselves into ‘acid’ to prove their loyalty makes him one of the Unholy Trinity. Hail Mogambo!.

#3. Babu Mosai

Big B's first screen name was Babu mosai...Vijay came later :) Early 70 in Indian Cinema = Rajesh Khanna No second name.

#4. Vijay…Vijay Dinanath Chauhan…Pura Nam…hai…

What a Character…What an acting…The way He spoke …The way He Seat on chair…Awesome I Watch this movie more than 10 times.

#5. Shakaal

Shakaal kuch bhi kar sakta hai! And that includes rounding off the trinity. Shaan might not have been a very remarkable film had Shakaal not changed the very parameters of Filmy villainy with this classic role of a cool megalomaniac. I mean, an aquarium with sharks, rotating tables to punish betrayers, a secret island hideout and a bald head to top it all off! You can’t get any cooler than that!.

#6. Lion

Saara sheher mujhe ‘Loin’ ke naam se jaanta hai. I mean Ajit in all his roles, I’m only using his screen name from Kalicharan because that is the name he is best known by. So Lily, don’t be silly and pay your homage to this man who spawned a whole genre of jokes (Ajit/ Loin jokes).

#7 Sher Khan

Symbole of True frendship.The banchmark of original pathani accent.Runs all kind of illegal businesses.Fought with angriest onscreen character ever-inspctor Vijay Khanna (Amitabh Bachchan).Made peace and friendship with him after the fight.

#8. Dr.Dang

Is thappad ki goonj… Anupam Kher has done a lot of memorable characters, in all shades possible. But this is one that stands out for the sheer villain-ness. The amazing Dr. Dang is surely one of the most iconic villian ever.

#9. Bhiku Mahatre

'Mumbai ka king kaun?...Bhiku Mahatre" This line buzz our mind even today.Extraordinary performance of Manoj bajpai makes this character icon of indian cinema.

#10. Mahesh Deshmukh urf…Munna

N.Chandra shows this poster(upper one) to Anil Kapoor and Kapoor get shocked and said whats that? Chandra reply this is a poster of your next movie and you have to sign this movie, at the end Mr.Chandra explain the story and Unique character of ‘MUNNA’ and lastly said ”Ek dum Ghus ke kam karna hai Anil tuje es character ke liye” ( you have to give your heart n sole for this character of Munna).After this movie 'Munna' name becomes famous for local street bullies.

#11. Anna

"Dhandhe main koi kisi ka bhai nahi hota....ayeee yeh AAG koi bujao..."Has fear of fire and flips out every time he sees it. He is Very religious but no burning of agarbattis please !.psycho Anna from movie parinda.One of the best performance of Nana patekar.

#12.Crime master GOGO

Crime master GOGO...Mogamboo ka saga bhatija...:) jo aankhe nikal ke Gotia khelta hai :).Acharacter with full of fun

#13. ACP Rathod


"Kya Thakur...Tuje kitni bar bulaya...tu ata nahi hai?(@ Saki naka)".Here Chocolate fase turns hard.versatile Actor like Amir Khan don't require much efforts to mold himself in any character he just change his hair style and put officer kind of formal clothes for his character.Great actor

#14. Abdul

"Ate jate hue main sab pe nazar rakhta hoon...Nam Abdul hai mera sub ki khabar Rakhta hoon".This song and character even live today.Small appearance but strong impact
