LESSOR-KNOWN VILLAINS OF HINDI MOVIES

We all know of Premnath, Amjad Khan, Prem Chopra, Ranjeet, Amrish Puri, and Ajit. But there was a second and third rung of bad men about whom we know nothing.

Here is my attempt to demystify a bit.
 
Bob Christo

One of the few foreigners who made it in Bollywood. He was discovered by Sanjay Khan. He has more than 200 movies to his credit but has never made it more than a henchman. He settled down in Bangalore and opened a gym.

Madan Puri

A doyen of the film industry and need not be on this list. Is included here coz he moved from good to bad quickly. Sometimes in the same movie. But when he played a purebred antagonist, it was something to watch. Do you know he is the brother of Amrish Puri, who later became a superstar villain himself?

Kulbhushan Kharbanda

KK as Shakaal in Shaan

He started his career as a big-budget villain, the kind seen only in Bond movies. You know with sharks and all that. But as the movie, Shaan, got no love and became one of India's biggest flops, so did KK's aspirations, if he had any, of becoming a top-notch movie baddie. From there on, he mostly played positive roles, dad roles, and, of course, the hero in one movie-Arth. I remember him as the white and white character from Shyam Benegal’s Mandi.

KN Singh

The Gentleman Villain. Suave and well-dressed with a distinctive voice. His villainy was all in his eyes. I remember him from the movie Haathi Mere Saathi, where he shoots an elephant dead for losing a race. Those were days. That movie was one of his last.

Goga Kapoor

He is best remembered for his roles in QSQT and KHKN. KHKN stands for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. 

Kanhaiyalal

Not many will remember him. But this beloved troublemaker played a negative role in more than a hundred movies. We have seen him in movies from the 40s until the 80s. Best known for his role as Sukhi Lal. He played the role in two movie. Both by Mehboob Khan. Aurat and Mother India. BTW Mother India is the remake of Aurat. He was chosen to reprise the villainous role of a moneylender. Can you folks see type-casting in action here?


Anwar Hussain

Brother of noted actress Nargis. He played the checked-suited, red high heeled antagonist in many a movie. Can’t name one though. You will definitely remember him from the hit song 'teri galiyon mein hum aaye.

Ajit Vachani

He literally redefined villainy with Maine Pyar Kiya and Mr. India. Sadly, he passed away early.

Babbanalal Yadav

He is a face we have seen for decades, mostly as a bad man. I remember him from Karan Arjun.

BM Vyas

Gifted with an imposing personality and height, he was cut out to play the bad guy, which he did in many mythological, historical, and fantasy movies. Watch him as one of the prisoners in "Do Ankhen Barah Haat.

Jullian

He was a henchman for more than 40 years. Never mouth-ed a dialog. Remember the fight scene in Sholay in the room? He was there. Remember the road fight scene in Anamika. He was there. Now you know his name.
