Unforgettable Villains of Bollywood

A raw, intense, and incisive acting performer, Naseeruddin Shah portrayed the chilling villain of the film Sarfarosh. Shah's Gulfam Hassan, a ghazal singer who runs an evil mind, was deviously charming and at the same time sinister. It was his sophistication that brought in the duality of the cultured artist with hidden intentions, which further made the characterization one of the most knowledgeable villain portrayals in Bollywood. Shah in Sarfarosh shows a power of versatility, a vanguard of the actors that has handled these complex characters.

Not only did it allow such actors to display their range, but these actors also redefined what a villain on the Bollywood screen meant, leaving their characters etched as much as the hero.
