It wouldn't be an easy task to make it to the list of some of the greatest and most memorable villainous characters of Hindi Cinema. There are a lot of actors that reveled in their fictional villainy. Right from Amjad Khan to Pran to Amrish Puri, they have been defined by their unforgettable roles that sent a chill down our spine and not very surprisingly, nearly overpowered the heroes of the films they were a part of. Another actor that comes close is Mukesh Rishi.

Rishi has a towering physicality, scary eyes, and a powerful baritone. He has everything one needs to be a chilling and cold-blooded antagonist. He may have seldom conquered the hero, he did have a great time playing those amoral roles that are still remembered today. On his birthday, it would surely be a treat for his fans and the films to look back at some of his best performances that can hardly be forgotten.
