10 villain dialogues from Bollywood movies that are unforgettable
1. "Kitne aadmi the?" - Gabbar Singh, Sholay
The list of villain dialogues has to begin with the OG anti-hero of Bollywood, Gabbar Singh. The wicked and dreaded gangster, played by Amjad Khan in the cult-classic Sholay, is a character that had everything iconic about him. When he utters one of his most famous dialogues, "Kitne aadmi the?" to his gang members, the fear on their faces speaks volumes about the terror Gabbar instills.
2. "K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Kirannn"- Rahul Mehra, Darr
One of the most loved villain dialogues in Hindi cinema is attributed to Shah Rukh Khan’s remarkable portrayal of Rahul Mehra in Yash Chopra’s Darr. In this romantic thriller, Rahul's character has an obsessive, unrequited love for Kiran. His trademark stutter in "K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Kirannn" brought nightmares to Juhi Chawla’s character.
3. "Sorry madam!!! aainda aapko shikayat ka mauka nahi milega,” Rakesh Mahadkar, Ek Villain
It would be safe to say that Riteish Deshmukh was a revelation in a negative role in Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain. His compelling performance as Rakesh Mahadkar, an evil yet seemingly innocent middle-class man, was chilling. His alternate persona, where he apologizes and then kills people for pointing out his mistakes, is terrifying. The line, "Sorry madam! Aainda aapko shikayat ka mauka nahi milega," delivered with a wicked expression, sends shivers down the spine.
4. "Mere saath kuch bhi karneka, mera ego hurt nai karneka,” Jaykant Shikre, Singham
Rohit Shetty’s Singham remains an all-time classic, and Prakash Raj’s portrayal of the corrupt politician Jaykant Shikre is unmatchable. His authoritative declaration, "Mere saath kuch bhi karneka, mera ego hurt nai karneka," directed at Ajay Devgn’s Bajirao Singham, showcases his unabashed audacity.
5. "Saali chalti phirti cocaine hai…cocaine," Inspector Talpde, Wanted
Bollywood has given us not only menacing but also strange villains. Salman Khan’s Wanted is another celebrated movie remembered for the euphoria it created. Mahesh Manjrekar’s portrayal of Inspector Talpade has lately gained popularity, especially the scene where he gives a creepy look to Ayesha Takia’s character Jhanvi and says, "Saali chalti phirti cocaine hai… cocaine."
6. "Rauf Lala ladki beche bina bazaar band nahi karta," Rauf Lala, Rishi Kapoor
The 2012 release Agneepath is a rare example of a remake that lived up to the expectations of the original. Rishi Kapoor’s portrayal of Rauf Lala, a butcher involved in the trafficking of minor girls, evoked immense anger from the audience. His chilling line, "Rauf Lala ladki beche bina bazaar band nahi karta," perfectly encapsulates the menace his character carried.
7. "Main 15 minute tak apni saans rok sakta hoon aur maut ko chhoo ke takk se wapas aa sakta hoon," Shiv Gajra, Kick
This villain dialogue in Hindi delivered by Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Salman Khan’s Kick deserves a place on the list for all the right reasons. His wicked laugh and extremely compelling performance in the film are among his career’s best. The iconic line, "Main 15 minute tak apni saans rok sakta hoon aur maut ko chhoo ke takk se wapas aa sakta hoon," adds another layer of complexity to his character.
8. "Apne dhande mein havas chalti hai ... ishq nahi chalta," Khan, Gangster
The OG ‘Badman of Bollywood,’ Gulshan Grover has many iconic negative portrayals to his credit. In Gangster, his role as Khan, a heartless criminal, makes us despise his character. When his associate Daya, played by Shiney Ahuja, falls in love, Khan bluntly warns him, "Apne dhande mein havas chalti hai ... ishq nahi chalta," making it clear that there’s no room for love in their world.
9. "Jab khaane ko itna kuch hai to hum khauf kyun khaayein?," Alauddin Khilji, Padmaavat
Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat left audiences in awe. His dark and twisted character, combined with Singh’s impeccable performance, made Khilji one of Bollywood’s most memorable villains. In one iconic scene, when his wife suggests he give up his pursuit of Padmavati and fear Rawal Ratan Singh, Khilji responds coolly, "Jab khaane ko itna kuch hai to hum khauf kyun khaayein?"
10. “Tum kya leke aaye the, aur kya leke jaaoge. Reh jaye sirf ek insaan, sarva shaktishaali, sarva shaktimaan,” Kancha Cheena, Agneepath
Sanjay Dutt’s portrayal of Kancha Cheena in Agneepath is unforgettable. With his brooding eyes and bald, menacing look, Dutt's performance sent chills down the audience's spine. One of his most iconic dialogues, “Tum kya leke aaye the, aur kya leke jaaoge. Reh jaye sirf ek insaan, sarva shaktishaali, sarva shaktimaan,” perfectly encapsulates the villain’s fearless, larger-than-life persona.
Apart from the above-mentioned villain dialogues, characters like Shakti Kapoor’s comedic-villain Crime Master Gogo, Amrish Puri as Mogambo, and Prem Chopra in Bobby, among others, are the OG villains of Bollywood who need no introduction. They’ve carved their niche in audiences’ hearts with their timeless performances.
