2104 Villains Took Over Bollywood ?

The notion of a typical hero and a villain has changed in Bollywood over the years. In 2014, there have been certain actors who have managed to surprise us with their negative portrayals. Some were new faces and with their talent brought in freshness.

Here are top 6 performances in negative roles in 2014.

Kay Kay Menon for 'Haider': He has been typecast before and has played the evil character quite effortlessly in most of the films. Vishal Bhardwaj managed to make his character Kurram Meer in 'Haider' almost relatable.

He played an opportunist politician who plots the death of his brother to be close to his wife. He may want to kill his kin to move forward in life, but is also weakened by his love for his sister-in-law.

No other actor has surprised the audience as much as Riteish Deshmukh has. Deshmukh played a henpecked husband who turned a serial killer by the night in Mohit Suri's film.

The film may have had several flaws, but Juhi Chawla, best known for her chirpy, sweet roles in 90s cinema surprised us all with her performance as a shrewd, calculative politician.

Kumud Mishra for 'Filmistaan': Mishra played a Jihadi from Pakistan who kidnaps an Indian and holds him captive in a village in Pakistan near the Indo-Pak border. Mishra delivered a restraint performance who spoke less but emoted much more.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui for 'Kick': Who would have thought Nawazuddin Siddiqui would play the typical villain in a masala potboiler like 'Kick' this well. Known for his performances in art house films, Nawazuddin once again proved that he can play any role.

Tahir Raj Bhasin for 'Mardaani': As the sauve, sophisticated, smooth talker leader of a child trafficking unit in 'Mardaani', debutant Tahir Raj Bhasin made the regular 20 year old boy-next-door appear creepy.
