Are O Samba, Kitne aadmi the, Mugambo khush hua, Prem naam h mera, Prem Chopra! are some of the most popular dialogues delivered by Bollywood's most iconic villains. Our Bollywood films are incomplete without those villains, and these guys are so bad that they are actually good and unforgettable. 

But as time is changing the character of villains are also evolving with time. now the villains or negative characters in the films are not limited to their sticky lines, vengeance, kidnapping of lead actress and most importantly his illegal business. Now the filmmakers and actor try to add layers to the negative character as well. Presently, you will not see the villain of the film as a pure hundred percent evil character who has no good side. While exploring the different ways to present a story, now the makers of the film also try to present the new-age villain who has someone to love, of course with their consent, now it is not necessary that he lives in his particular adda with his army. Now, a villain can also truly love someone or live a simple life without guns and tanks, can wear ordinary and good clothes. This is the one reason many 'heroes' of Bollywood are now ready to play the roles of villains as well.
