Hollywood
superstar,
Russell
Crowe
quoted,
"I
like
villains
because
there's
something
so
attractive
about
a
committed
person
-
they
have
a
plan,
an
ideology,
no
matter
how
twisted.
They're
motivated." True
to
that,
our
Bollywood
villains
too
are
motivated
in
their
own
way
to
enact
the
bad
ass
thoughts
of
their
twisted
minds.
Often
when
heroes
take
on
the
mantle
of
bad
ass
villainy,
the
emphasis
is
on
their
coolness,
their
attitude
and
their
Hi-Fi
stunt
sequences.
But
the
maximum
emphasis
is
given
on
their
looks,
their
on
screen
persona
and
some
witty
trademark
dialogues
like
"Don
ko
pakadna
mushkil
hi
nahi,
Namumkin
hain!".
But
the
trend
of
villains
saw
a
change
when
Sanjay
Dutt
played
the
modern
day
Kancha
Cheena
in
Agneepath,
his
bald
cruel
avatar
was
terrifying.
Just
when
you
thought
the
age
of
bad
ass
villains
was
coming
to
an
end,
Bollywood
has
seen
the
rise
of
a
whole
new
generation
of
rugged,
good
looking
and
terrifying
villains.
Let's
take
a
look
at
the
most
memorable
modern
day

Bollywood...
