Dons Of Bollywood

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 villains of Bollywood...
