22 Iconic Bollywood Villains We Totally Love To Hate

Our films are incomplete without our villains! Good guys have no importance if they don't have to fight a battle of two with the baddies! Yes, they have to die in the climax, but we can't deny the fact that these bad men rule the reels more than the heroes! Let's check out 22 iconic B-Town villain characters that have made the film-plots look all the more exciting and thrilling!

1. Mogambo In Mr. India

We were completely in awe of this all decked-up villain when we watched him first on the screens! Amrish Puri may have gone, but his 'Mogambo Khush Hua' continues to stay with us!

2. Gabbar Singh In Sholay

Simply put – if not for Amjad Khan's spine-chilling portrayal of the daunting dacoit Gabbar Singh, Sholay wouldn't have been such a massive affair!

3. Shakaal In Shaan

Kulbhushan Kharbanda as the high-tech baddie swept us off our feet the moment he did that finger-thing on his bald scalp!

4. Ranjeet

Ranjeet has committed the maximum number of rapes on-screen! No wonder he is the first name that strikes us when we think about dreaded Bollywood villains!

5. Prem Chopra In Bobby

He is the undisputed father of all crimelords, who is remembered for his trademark way of saying those cunning lines!

6. Lion In Kalicharan

'Saara shehar mujhe Loin ke name se jaanta hai'. Need we say more?

7. Kancha Cheena In Agneepath

Danny Denzongpa looked mean and hot at the same time – killer combo, I must say!

8. Kancha Cheena In Agneepath

If Danny was all about sex-appeal and shrewdness, Sanjay Dutt owned the film with his larger-than-life portrayal of the terrifying character.

9. Lajja Shankar Pandey In Sangharsh

Ashutosh Rana's eunuch avatar was oh-so bloodcurdling!

10. Gokul Pandit In Dushman

Ashutosh Rana did a fab job of his rapist character! And those lusty eyes!

11. Langda Tyagi In Omkara

Ajay Devgn and Vivek Oberoi could have been replaced but Saif Ali Khan's scheming and shrewd Langda Tyagi simply couldn't! Undoubtedly, Saif's best performance till date!

12. Subedaar In Mirch Masala

Naseeruddin Shah played the wicked character with such conviction that we love to hate him!

13. Bhaironath In Nagina

Amrish Puri as the no-nonsense snake-charmer gave us the creeps, thanks to his spine-tingling getup.

14. Dr. Dang In Tahelka

Anupam Kher turned the psycho baddie and we couldn't help getting impressed by his fine acting credentials.

15. Robert In Amar Akbar Anthony

Jeevan as the suited-booted baddie had a great show of his mean streaks!

16. Sukhi Lala In Mother India

Kanahaya Lal played a lecher to the T!

17. Ramadhir Singh In Gangs of Wasseypur 2

Tigmanshu Dhulia proved that he could act better than many actors we have! And his crafty and calculating ways just took the Bollywood villainy to a different level altogether!

18. Sir Juda In Karz

The name might sound funny, but Prem Nath's character was big time into evil planning and plotting in the film.

19. Jageera In China Gate

Mukesh Tiwari's creepy line, 'Mere man ko bhaya, main kutta kaat ke khaya' still calls for a hair-raising experience!

20. Kesariya Vilayati In Ram Lakhan

Gulshan Grover became a celebrated Bad Man, courtesy his rugged Kesariya Vilayati.

21. Lotiya Pathan In Tezaab

Despite Anil Kapoor's gritty character and Madhuri Dixit's tempting moves, Kiran Kumar easily made a mark for himself as the film's antagonist!

22. Gajendra In Ram Aur Shyam

Pran used to turn completely cruel for his negative portrayals!
