New Delhi. If you are fond of cinema, then you will also believe that if there is no villain in the film, then the film is incomplete. There are many films whose dialogues of heroes will still remember the dialogues of villains. There are many such dialogues like Sholay’s’ How many men were there? ‘,’ Mrogambo of Mr. India ‘, Crime Master Gogo Aaya, I have taken something to Kuch To Kuch To’, which we still speak a lot. Therefore, the role of villains in films like Hero has always been important. These characters not only add tension and adventure to the story, but sometimes they become more memorable than the hero.
