In this episode of The Literature Lounge, we’re excited to have author and film critic Roshmila Bhattacharya talk about her book Bad Men: Bollywood’s Iconic Villains. Roshmila takes us through the fascinating journey of Bollywood villains, from classic bad guys to today’s complex characters that make us think twice about good and evil.
She talks about iconic “Gentlemen Villains” like Pran and Amrish Puri, who gave villainy a memorable face in Indian cinema. Roshmila also touches on why audiences are drawn to these dark characters, the criticism around movies that sometimes glorify villains, and the difference in how female villains are portrayed compared to male villains. She shares her thoughts on how celebrity status can shape how we view villains and hints at the idea of exploring Bollywood’s female antagonists in the future. This conversation dives deep into the world of Bollywood villains and their lasting impact on Indian films—don’t miss it!
