Good boys, bad roles

,

When they played good guys, they were good, when they played bad, they were better....Some movies where the good guys turned mean. Aamir Khan will be playing a negative role in 'Dhoom 3'. This, however, is not the first time that Khan will be playing a villain. Earlier, in '1947 Earth' and in 'Fanaa' he played characters with gray shades. YuvaYuva
Junior Bachchan looked convincing as the menacing Lallan Singh in 'Yuva'. His performance was appreciated. And to think Abhishek almost lost the role as he didn't respond to Mani Rathnam's calls when he wanted to approach him for the role, because he didn't recognise the number. It was Abhishek's friend Shaad Ali who finally got Ratnam and Bachchan to speak to each other.DhoomDhoom
For an industry riddled with bald headed and menacing looking villains, drop dead gorgeous John Abraham came as a refreshing change, when he played the bike-riding cool villain.Dhoom 2
Dhoom 2
No villain must have looked as breath-takingly handsome as Hrithik Roshan did in 'Dhoom 2'. He played the villain who had a penchant for technology and was a master con man.AnjaamAnjaam
Soon after 'Darr' SRK obsessed over Madhuri Dixit in this overtly violent film, 'Anjaam' SRK was convincing as a a psychopath lover.DarrDarr
Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) is a psychopath lover who is obsessed with Juhi Chawla. The role was earlier offered to Aamir Khan but he turned it down. And Shah Rukh Khan chose to do the film.BaazigarBaazigar
It is still considered one of the boldest moves of his career, when Shah Rukh chose to play a killer at a very early stage in his career, not worrying about being typecast. In this movie he avenges the death of his father. He dates both the daughters of this father's killer and kills one of the sisters played by Shilpa Shetty.OmkaraOmkara
People loved to hate Saif Ali Khan in the negative role of Langda Tyagi in 'Omkara'. He won rave reviews from the critics and he himself has mentioned in many of his interviews that his character in 'Omkara' is closest to his heart.DeewangeeDeewangee
Ajay Devgn plays a ruthless killer who pretends to be a suffering from schizophrenia, once he's caught.KhalnayakKhalnayak

In this thriller, Manoj Bajpai plays the aggressive badman to the hilt and even after his death, gets into Amitabh Bachchan's body and continues with his evil act. AankhenAankhen
One of the few movies based on a bank robbery, this Vipul Shah film has Amitabh Bachchan playing the master mind behind the robbery. He employs three blind men and a lady to do the job for him.RaceRace
In this thriller of a movie which takes you on a roller coaster ride, Akshaye Khanna plays the jealous brother of Saif Ali Khan, who wants to covet all his assets, so tries murdering his own brother.AjnabeeAjnabee
In this bold movie directed by Abbas Mastan, which spoke about wife-swapping, Akshay Kumar is the bad man, who along with his wife (played by Bipasha Basu) plans to make Bobby Deol the pawn in his plan to murder his first wife.
a bad guy with a good heart. His character and performance was appreciated.
