Notable Role (12/1000): Nawazuddin Siddiqi (Kick).

Watching this movie was a good experience for me as far as the role of Nawazuddin Siddiqi goes. He played the role of villain named Shiv Ghazra. His performance in the movie reminds me of the Joker (the legendary character in the movie industry across the globe.

Being famous for his performance in the Gangs of Wasseypur series, where he became famous as Faizal Khan, he deserved more chances. Kick was right choice for him. His style of dialogue delivery, which involved his strange laughter and songs of old Bollywood classic movies, makes him a remarkable character.
In a nutshell, I found the great actor, who can emulate the legendary Joker of The Dark Knight.

Notable Role (11/1000): Prashant Narayan (Murder 2).

Recently, watching the movie Ek Villain, which was released last week, I felt something missing. I tried to recall my filmi brain, (which is occupied by most Hindi movies), I found the missing thing. This had something to do with the character portrayed by Ritesh Deshmukh in the movie. I feel that movie was good, but it could have been better, had Prashant Narayan been roped instead of Ritesh.

I still remember the 1st sequel of Bhatt camp's Murder- Murder-2 -which was released in 2011. This movie still stands as one of the finest and most successful psycho horror of Bhatt (after Dushman). It is so because of the character portrayed by Prashant (Dheeraj Paney in the movie). It is due to his role, that this movie won several accolades.

His role stands as on of the best negative role ever performed in Bollywood.

Here are several scenes of the movie:

Interrogation scene.

Murder of college girl.

Notable Role (10/1000): Abhay Deol (Shanghai)

Unlike his siblings Sunny and Bobby, Abhay Deol is much known for the roles based on ground realities, be it Oye Lucky Lucky Oye or Dev-D or Socha Na Tha. The year 2012 movie Shanghai adds to his understanding and adaptability to the roles, that no one can perform better than him. 

In this movie, he has portrayed the character of an honest IAS officer, involved in the inquiry of an accident that was suspiciously murder attempt of a leader. Although much credit to the quality of the movie goes to Dibakar, its director, roles played by Abhay and Imran Hashmi have maintained the same.
One of the reasons to watch this movie is the actors itself.
Here is an example: 

Notable Role (9/1000): K K Menon (Gulaal).

There are some movies, which you often like to watch more than once and there are some movies, with such a great actors, which make you watch some scenes of the movie time and again.

Gulaal is one such movie and KK Menon (playing the character role of Duggi Bana) is one such actor in this movie. His way of expression and the way he imbibes the character of the movie is unmatched.

The way he shows his anger and his authority in this movie makes his performance in Gulaal best till now.

Notable Role (8/1000): K K Menon (Shaurya).

The year 2008 movie Shaurya is based on the theme of AFSPA misuse in Jammu and Kashmire and is inspired from the 1992 Hollywood flick A Few Good Men. The difference between these two movies is that while the later one was known for the performance of the Hero, the former one will always be remembered for the role of Major Pratap played by K K Menon. 

The best scene from the movie, according to me, is the entry of K K Menon and his subsequent meeting with Rahul Bose, (who is our desi Cruise of this movie) is humiliated by Menon for his conduct over breakfast table. 

The other best scene was the climax, showing the cross-examination of Brigadier Pratap. In both the scenes, K K Menon proves to be better villain than Jack Nicholson (the Hollywood counterpart in A Few Good Men).

We have seen his mind blowing performances in Gulaal  and Black Friday. He is one actor who needs the focus of the eminent movie-makers like Anurag Kashyap, Shujit Sarkar and Tigmanshu Dhulia. Because only such eminent producers can tap the talent of actors like Menon. The best scenes of this movie include the flamboyant presence of Menon. These scenes are:

First meeting with Major Chaudhary.

Cross-examination of Pratap.

Notable Role (7/1000): Mahesh Manjarekar (Kaante)

He was not the lead actor of the movie, but without him Kaante, (2002 year remake of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, 1992) would have been a worthless movie. In fact, he was best as an actor in this movie. It was through this movie, that he garnered the fame of an actor better than a director (though he directed and produced great movies like Vaastav).

The scenes of the movie are as follows:

Cops arresting Bali.

Bali Crying.

Interrogation by Bali.

Notable Role (5/1000): John Abraham (Jism)

I saw the movie Jism, after over 5 years of its release. I appreciate the direction and the music as well. But above all, I was inspired by the performance of John Abraham (playing the role of an alcoholic lawyer- Kabir), who lives a playboy lifestyle. 

No doubt, it was his first movie, yet he performed his share best in this movie. Specially his style of smoking and lighting the cigarette, that probably inspired youth to adopt smoking as a style statement. 

I suggest you to go watch the video of the songs Aawarapan Banjarapan and Shikaayat Hai to notice his in-depth performance (notably, the scene in which he feels guilty of committing a murder and cries below the shower of his bathroom). 

Aawarapan Banjarapan song.

Shikaayat Hai song.

Jism climax.

Notable Role (4/1000): Abhimanyu Singh (Gulaal)

Hailing from Patna (Bihar), Abhimanyu Singh made his debut in films with Aks (2001), directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. His first time major role was that of Rananjay Singh or Ransa in Gulaal (2009), directed by Anurag Kashyap, for which he won the 2010 Stardust Award for breakthrough performance. The fans of Gulaal movie would always give preference to the role of Ransa to that of Dukki Bana (role played by K K Menon). Ransa has been considered to be the perfect character of that movie and Abhimanyu seems to have done justice to that role.

Here are some scenes of Gulaal presenting Abhimanyu:

Introducing Ransa
Murder of Ransa.

Ransa against University election.

He also won praises for his role of Bukka Reddy in Rakta Charitra (2010), directed by Ram Gopal Varma. In his review in The Times of India, Nikhat Kazmi compared his performance to that of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight (2008) which outshone the lead star. He is also the brother of Bollywood actor Chandrachur Singh.
