New Delhi: While heroes make the audience fall in love with their charisma, it's the villains that leave an impact on their hearts. It's their evil laugh, their wicked moves, and their unsung comical timing that keeps us intact on the screen throughout the movie. While heroes hold a significant value in films, villains are more fun to watch.

Here is a listicle of all the roles that stayed with the audience for longer than one can imagine. 

Hamza - Darlings: Vijay Varma as Hamza in Darlings was cruel, brutal, and everything harsh yet he left a crystal clear image of his impactful performance on our minds. Without a doubt, we hated his character to the core and yet watched him attentively on the screens. It was Vijay Varma’s talent as an actor that made us angry at Hamza even more. 

Khilji - Padmavat:  Alauddin Khilji was a tyrant, a manipulator, and an ambitious king who wanted to rule the world, and Ranvir Singh with his looks and performance made us totally believe that someone this cruel can exist. From his critically-acclaimed acting to his breathtaking appearance, his appearance on the screen made us scared. 

Jim - Pathan: Who doesn't love John Abraham? And his performance in Pathaan made us drool over him even more. Where everyone was busy praising Pathaan, there was a fear that Jim was actually the one who could beat him. It was John's acting & his powerful body that actually made us question who might win. Pathan had a great ensemble but we just can't get our minds off of Jim.

Kancha - Agneepath: Sanjay Dutt's bald look, puffy eyes, and the scariest wicked smile ever was everything a villain ever needed. His excellent performance and perfectly curated look made us dread him and how. A real villain with a real motive, something that gave much more meaning to the whole film.

Rahul - Darr: Rahul from Darr was a negative character carried with such perfection. SRK cemented himself in this film as an actor. Even after all his brilliant roles, Rahul from Darr is something we can never forget. His performance was mind-blowing and set a benchmark for all villains to be written in the Indian cinema.

Mogambo - Mr India: In the film, Amrish Puri portrayed the notorious Bollywood bad guy Mogambo, an eccentric retired army general. His slogan "Mogambo khush hua" helped him get instantly recognisable to audiences everywhere.
