Whenever your friend asks you to watch a specific movie, most probably your first question will be 'who is the hero.' But do you ever think who makes hero, a hero? It's a villain.

No matter how good our hero is, but only a badass villain can bring a taste into a story. And I think everybody would agree with that.
So, this article is dedicated to the most terrifying Bollywood villains who create a kind of terror through their looks and actions. Let's get started.

#9. Gokul Pandit from Dushman/stackumbrella/media/media_files/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/madhya_pradesh_chief_minister_shivraj_singh_chouhan__1656316481-5.jpg)
1998 crime-drama Dushman introduces the nightmare of every girl. Yes, we are talking about Gokul Pandit, a serial killer and rapist who is a postman by profession.
He is the kind of character who can't control his lust and rapes women out of it. It was portrayed by big-eyed Ashutosh Rana, so you can imagine how terrifying he looks.
You will have goosebumps, whenever he stands beside any girl in a movie.
#8. Kancha Cheena from Agneepath/stackumbrella/media/media_files/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/madhya_pradesh_chief_minister_shivraj_singh_chouhan__1656316481-6.jpg)
Kancha Cheena, the name is enough for experiencing fear and terror. And that is why it was created two times, and both times he scared the shit out of us.
The legacy of Kancha Cheena started back in 1990 movie Agneepath, in which it was portrayed by Danny. But when Sanjay Dutt played it in Agneepath of 2012, this character became one of the most terrifying Bollywood villains of all time.
From his bald-headed look like Shakaal to his aggressive actions, everything is terrifying in his character.

#7. Rahul Mehra from Darr/stackumbrella/media/media_files/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/madhya_pradesh_chief_minister_shivraj_singh_chouhan__1656316481-7.jpg)
"Love is the most beautiful feeling in the world", but what happens if it turns into madness? The 1993 movie Darr answered this question very effectively.
It is the story of Rahul Mehra played by Shahrukh Khan, who deeply falls in love with his college mate Kiran. But he never had the courage to approach her directly.
After college, when Kiran decides to marry his fiance Sunil, Rahul gets out of control and tries to claim Kiran forcefully.
Rahul is a fully insane character who talks with his dead mother, lives in a room full of Kiran's photos and is able to kill anyone for her.
If you have already watched this movie, you know the sound of "I Love You Ki...Ki...Ki...Kiran."

No one has imagined Riteish Deshmukh as a villain before Ek Villain. But when we saw him in the role of Rakesh Mahadkar, his all comedy characters vanished from our sight.
Rakesh is a normal middle-class man who is totally frustrated with his personal and professional life. Everyone abuses him and even his wife. So, he starts killing women for his satisfaction.
