Bollywood's biggest Villains


Remember the time in Bollywood where people felt terrified of villains. They use to be the meanest human beings on the planet. Audience might have hated them at that time, but they do miss them now. Such great acting, such great personalities are now missing and so, we bring to you, a list of the most memorable villains of Indian Cinema.

1. Gabbar Singh


Played by Amjad Khan, Gabbar is shown in the movie Sholay as a dacoit who leads a group in looting and plundering the villages in the region of Ramgarh. He has a sadistic personality and insists on killing whenever required to continue his status and to take revenge on his enemies.

2. Mogambo 


Amrish Puri took Mogmabo to heights of popularity. Mogambo became a band wagon, a style statement overnight, and it still continues to rule over the hearts of bollywood aficionados. This character is a total whack job

3. Shakaal


 Shakaal is bald (the first thing you notice about him) and of course, bad. Played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda, a punjabi actor, Shakaal has a slight tinch of Punjabi in his accent, though he tries hard to cover it, but old habits die hard !

4. Dr Dang


Dr. Dang set a new standard for Bollywood villains. This bad boy, played by Anupam Kher linked crime with sophistication and style. Dr. Dang made a style statement with his trimmed beard, three piece suit and glasses.

5. Jungli Jageera


Jageera seems to belong to a land where soaps, combs and toothbrushes do not exist. Shabby and unkempt ? These words do not even describe 10% of how Jageera looks. More than you hate him for the things he does, you hate him for that muck that has been on him since the beginning of time.

6. Loin (Lion)


 "Mona, kahan hai Sona" "Lilly don't be silly"If you recall these lines, then you know whom I am talking aboutKnown as Ajit in Indian Cinema, Hamid ALi Khan was an iconic Villain. Till many years, and probably today, people copy his dialogues.




7. Gogo 


Crime Master Gogo, a bad guy ? well, you might call him an aspiring bad guy. Shakti Kapoor plays this hilarious character who has no clue of what is going on around him. He wants to be bad, yes. But to be honest, he is very bad at being bad.

Duggal Express


Imagine a man who weighs 30 pounds more than he should and then place him on a rickety old scooter. The picture you imagine is exactly what MR. Duggal looks like. This school teacher has always been a little tight on money and supressing all his little dreams is a regular habit for him.

Akshay as A.K Vardhan


Talk about a perfect example of wholesale market,we have Akshay Kumar for you. Who delievers atleast 12 movies a year . With the same kind of roles he plays, “Special 26″ was an exception in his list, a NO-NONSENSE film. He potrays “A.K. Vardhan” who is the master-mind of a fake CBI gang who cons all over India, raids where there is black money. He stays in Mumbai, speaks hindi, sings in Punjabi and cons in Bangla when at Calcutta. He speaks formally in english and with individuals at interview in Tamil, Gujrati, Marathi and what not?; now that’s some talent.
His character is that of a smart, quick, sharp and all that it takes to make a perfect con. But yet he is sensitive an so in love with the character named Priya. It appeared like Akshay had zero interest in even acting a romantic sequence with the lady love as the chemistry between the two looked plain. He’s a con who steals but doesn’t steal any honest earnings . Even though most of his movies fail to impress us , we still wait for an Akshay movie to just sit and laugh at the craziest star of B-Town. “A.K. Vardhan/Ajay/Ajju” therefore, is a fake, but yet a lovable character .

Characters from the movie Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl


Dimple
For some people there is only one bank and only one ATM – daddy dearest. Dimple is one of those girls. Just point at whatever you want and daddy dearest will get it. For a girl whose demands have never gone unfulfilled, being cheated by a ‘ boyfriend ‘ is unprecedented and unacceptable.

    Ishika Desai
Be it anyone, salesmen always annoy everyone. They make you feel miserable about yourself and then make you buy all their stuff. When losing out all your money is inevitable … why not do it when a pretty girl persuades you to do it ? Ishika, played by Anushka Sharma is a sales girlno, wait, a super sales girl

Ricky Bahl

Master of disguise – this guy seriously doesn’t have a heart. It is almost impossible for a person to dupe so many people and not feel bad about it. But Ricky ?, he doesn’t even flinch ! And what is behind such a cold man ? that is what intrigues us the most. Fooling people give him immense pleasure. He is sharp, he is clever, he is quick and he can probably woo women at the speed of light.

Sushil Kumar and Michael Phelps

The Wrestler Rises: Sushil Kumar 

Sushil Kumar was an Indian Wrestler once. Now he is the World Champion Wrestler. Recently he won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics in Men's 66kg freestyle wrestling.

 But what paths did he come across before reaching this stage of world champion?

Sushil Kumar's father, Diwan Singh, was a DTC bus driver and mother was a housewife. So he was not that child who was born and brought up in the bed of pearls. 
He was inspired to take up wrestling by his father and cousin. His cousin has to leave wrestling and come to support the family income. 

Sushil underwent tough training conditions which started from the age of 14. In the training he shared a mattress with a fellow wrestler and a dormitory with 20 others. But as it is said, "A diamond is a chunk of coal that is made good under pressure.". Similarly Sushil Kumar shines out and made India proud

In the 2008 Olympics he lost in the first place but later cleared 2 Repechage ( a second chance basically) and then defeated Spiridonov in three rounds.

Among his other most prestigious winnings, he has won a Gold medal in the World Championship in 2010, in Common wealth games 2010, in Asian games 2010.
Overall, Sushil Kumar has won 7 Gold, 2 Silver and 3 Bronze medals for India in Men's freestyle Wrestling.

Sushil Kumar made India proud.!


Phelps Bids Adieu



The boy from Baltimore who set out to redefine the boundaries of his sport, wades good bye to swimming after winning twice as many Olympic titles as any other athlete in modern times.


Phelps was diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD causes lack of attention, impulsive behaviour and hyperactivity) when he was in sixth grade. 
He was a dreamer. He believed that "Nothing is impossible". After he saw swimmers Tom Malchow and Tom Dolan compete at the 1996 SUmmer Games in Atlanta, Phelps began to dream of becoming a champion. He met his coach who immediately recognized Phelps talents and fierce sense of competition. Phelps is great at butterfly style.

Michael, at the age of 15, became the youngest American male swimmer at an Olympic Games in 68 years.
He has won so many Awards and have broken so many Records, that remembering each and every one of them will be a record (which only Phleps can break).
But I will like to tell you that at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, he won eight medals (out of which six were Gold medals) tying with soviet gymnast Aleksandr Dityatin for the most medals in a single Olympic.

Phelps philanthropy acts includes a non-profit organization, Swim with the stars, which he co-founded to hold camps for swimmers of all ages. He has also written books about his life and his strive for success.

The most accomplished all-round male swimmer ever retires and want to explore more from his life
"Its time for other things" he says.
I say, we are waiting for your new set of records 

Kudos to this player.!
