As bad as it gets !!

We often remember the good side of the story. History has also always praised the Hero or the good side of the story. There wouldn't be a good story or a Hero without a villain. Yes, this world needs a villain otherwise the good guys can stay at home!!

It's the antagonist who defines or creates a protagonist. A villain gives birth to a hero, a problem generates a solution, without Ravana, there would be no Ramayana.

Some iconic villains remain etched in the minds forever. Below are a few characters which have had a hard-hitting impact, read with caution 👿👹.

1) Gabbar:- The most memorable of all. Gabbar is a slightly twisted or rather wicked meaning of "Gabru". The character is so menacing, that even today after 45 years, kids still get a bit scared while watching the film Sholay.No other characters would have given to so much depth to a simple dialogue like " कितने आदमी थे?".

2) Mogambo:- The retired army general, who has vicious plans to conquer India. Being from an army background he is a very organised baddie with a proper army base. Still remember his voice and when he thunders "मोगैबो खुश हुआ !".

3) Kaancha Cheena:- There are not many examples where the inspired character is more dreadful than the original. The villain of the Agneepath 2012 movie is more badass than the 1990 original. The appearance of the character, demeanour is deadly."तुम क्या लेकर आए थे,और क्या लेकर जाओ,रहेगा सिर्फ एक इंसान सर्व शक्तिशाली, सर्वशक्तिमान"

4) Langda Tyagi:- This character gave wickedness a new meaning altogether. The movie Omkara is based on the famous novel Othello. The character is treacherous, jealous and pure evil. The get-up and the limp adds more credibility.

5) Aladin Khilji:- This is the most recent portrayal of a valiant fighter changing into a hateful villain. The desire to acquire love leads Khilji to become deceitful and a cruel ruler." कायनात की हर नायाब चीीज पर बस खिलजी का हक है"

6) Joker:- He remains to be the saddest of them all. The sad untimely death of the actor at the premiere of the movie left a sort of legacy for the character. The unpredictability and madness of the character makes it truly memorable."If you are good at something never do it for free" 🤡

7) Thanos:- There is not much you can do when God turns against you. There are not many examples when the villain is invincible and much stronger than all the superheroes put together. Somebody had to sacrifice to stop him and unfortunately it was my favourite Ironman."The hardest choices require the strongest wills".

8) Hannibal Lecter:- The serial killer with cannibalism streaks, who co-ordinates with the FBI to get hold of other serial killers. He is nothing less than a psychopath, in fact, sociopath, we don't know what to call him.

9) T-1000:- The alien who is an upgraded version of The Terminator. The looks, agility, motion of the character is what makes him memorable. 

10) Norman Bates:- The psycho killer, who has multiple disorder identity crises. A fight which he fights with himself and kills people is a chilling visual. One of the most emotionally disturbed characters portrayed."We all go a little mad sometimes"
