Filmy Character Names

Some memorable filmy characters, mainly due to their names-

Dr. Fu Manchu- Peter Sellers in The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu, who drinks a youth elixir made out of diamonds, stolen by a band of henchmen whom he calls "dacoits."

Rice Plate Reddy, a villain in the funny film, Quick Gun Murugan, which also had a seductress named Mango Dolly.

Dhurandhar Bhatawadekar -the incomparable Utpal Dutt, in Rang Birangi

Mogambo - Amrish Puri in Mr. India, who made "Mogambo khush hua" a household dialogue.

Soorma Bhopali- Jagdeep in Sholay, speaking in his inimitable style.

Virus in 3 Idiots, played so well by Boman Irani.

Circuit in Munnabhai MBBS. Arshad Warsi's best role, maybe.

..and finally, Lola Kutty, the delectable Mallu lady of the T.V. show by the same name. "Aalex"  was her frequent companion.

Actors of a Kind

This is about actors who played bit roles or villain's roles in Hindi films.

Ajit was a villain who cracked one-liners with aplomb, and became the most "joked-about" villain due to them. Mona darling, Raabert, and Michael, tum cycle par jao..etc. were the stuff of legend.

 Another actor (actually two- Keshto is with Utpal Dutt) who always made a mark, usually as a drunkard, with his characteristic hichki, was Keshto Mukherjee. The scene below is with another actor with terrific comic timing, Utpal Dutt, who brought the house down in Golmaal with his role of a hater of clean-shaven guys.
