Once a movie is released, there are a lot of rumors about the movies’ leads, the antagonist, and even the supporting cast. However, there have been some movies where characters with less screen time have managed to create a significant impact on the audience and add soul to the film.
We at NewsGater have selected a list of special Bollywood characters who won hearts thanks to their minimal screen time.
See them here:
1. Dr. Rustom – Munna Bhai MBBS
In addition to providing comic relief multiple times on Rajkumar Hirani’s director ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’, Dr. Rustom’s character is healthy. He is an ordinary doctor who tries his best to live life without problems. His encounters with the film’s protagonists, namely Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani, bring out the best and worst of both.
2. Vasuli Bhai – Golmaal Franchise
Apart from Ajay Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and others rehearsing their roles everywhere, another character has been a constant in the Golmaal series and that is’ Vasuli Bhai played by Mukesh Tiwari. His character always falls prey to whatever scam the drivers do it for, and the result is always hilarious.
3. Kanta Ben – Kal Ho Na Ho
Although Kal Ho Na Ho starring Preity Zinta, Shah Rukh Khan, and Saif Ali Khan is supposed to be a heartbreaking drama, the movie made sure it didn’t get too intense by having hilarious scenes here and you throughout the movie. Kanta Ben is definitely the highlight of the movie that often mistakes Aman and Rohit (played by SRK and Saif) for being in love with each other. Their reactions will always tickle you!
4. Bob Biswas – Kahaani
In this Sujoy Ghosh-directed thriller, Bob Biswas’s character was so good that everyone was often on the edge of their seats whenever he took over the screen. He played the role of an undercover murderer as a life insurance agent. He tried numerous times to kill the protagonist of the film, Vidya Balan.
5. Roohdar – Haider
This has to be the biggest cameo of all time. In this directorial film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Vishal Bharadwaj replaced the supernatural element by introducing the character of Roohdar played by the legendary Irrfan Khan. He is a stranger whose goal is to provide Haider (Shahid Kapoor) with information about his missing father, after which he discovers his true calling, namely revenge.
