Villain TO No Villain

Once upon a time, all the disco_dancing_lovers of the rich bollywood daughters were rejected by their fathers and the hindi film-makers needed no other plot for the 3hrs entertainment. The next decade they became obsessed with the smugglers and mafias crowding India and the major reason why these movies rocked the nation was because of the faces like AMRISH PURI and PERM CHOPRA. Manoj Kumar and Dileep Kumar fought almost all kinds of rich greedy bastards possible in fiction. Meanwhile Amitabh and Dharmendra did the dacoit hunts as adorable-desirable cops. And for the next few years GULSHAN GROVER and RANJIT raped on-screen for reasons that are yet not understood. N if ever we fell short of these plots of revenge/avenge_stories.. then our film makers clung to the safe 1947 independence theme zone... where some miserable english actor is paid to say dialogues like "THUM SAALA INDHIAN DHHOG..." n the reaction is a funny movie_hangover_patriotism.

From 1930s to 2000 bollywood had explored the whole range of villainy. Zamindars to Mafias we handled them all for almost a century. Post 1990 movies introduced a no villain policy to hindi films. Doctor Dang and Mogambo are now long lost. Presenting situations rather than people as antagonists is the mantra for this mature bollywood.

I grew up with this bollywood baselessness and always connected well with it. This changed bollywood with better scripts n dialogues somehow alienates the coarse minds like me.
