Eyes burning with anger and jealousy, lips twitched to form a gut wrenching smirk . . . clenched fists holding murderous weapons ready to be used anytime and anywhere to teach the good and the innocent a lesson they will remember for lifetimes to come . . . , portrayal of villainous characters in silver screen has always managed to set the screen ablaze in one way or the other.

Being the cultural capital of the country and living up to the name has also made glorious progress in presenting its evil lot. Be it in the form of conspiring Daddies trying to keep his princess daughter away from the auto-rickshaw pulling but morally sound boy friend, or be it in the form of local King Pins trying to get the best out of the Hero and his love interest, negative roles have been defining movies for a very long time indeed.

How evil is expressed on screen largely depends on who exactly is playing the part. Take for instance; no one could have played the part of Mogambo better than Amrish Puri, or say, the role of Gabbar Singh by Amjad Khan. In all honesty, there are certain character traits that an actor must possess to bring out the real Lucifer in the fictional villains they happen to be playing. Take it the good way or bad, there are some actors who are inherently possessed with the talent of playing negative roles than the goody-two-shoes role models we know as the heroes.

There have been (and still are) hundreds of actors who have also been counted among famous Actors in Tollywood in kolkata, have dedicated their acting talents towards portrayal of Villains. It takes a great deal of effort to bend a real good human to play something that is completely contradictory to his / her real character. When it comes to Bengali movies, the names of renowned actors like Biplab Chatterjee, Bikash Ray and to a certain extent, Utpal Dutta can be mentioned. These celebrated personalities have managed to hold complete attention of the public to the screen through the innumerable decades of Bengali Cinema.

The craze for these actors in negative roles have reached an extent that people find it difficult to accept newcomers in similar roles, and end up looking for the villains that they are so used to seeing on the screen. Famous actors in negative roles in Kolkata at present has made their way straight into the heart of the audience. Even though they assume such character that would bring anyone’s blood to boil, they are upheld and cherished off screen.

The world of movies and cinema has been evolving with time and the present days call for roles that are over and above the traditional hero – villain – heroin triangle. Thus, what one can expect on screen can be much more than mere depiction of conventional villain. With the concept of anti – hero and the like flooding the screen, many out of the ordinary villains have also emerged and are in the process of making their presence count.
