Vijay Varma on rise of violent heroes in Bollywood: We always had morally ambiguous heroes, even DDLJ isn’t all white

Vijay Varma on rise of violent heroes in Bollywood: We always had morally ambiguous heroes, even DDLJ isn’t all white

The success of films like the Dhurandhar franchise and Animal (2023) in recent times have shown that having a dark hero as a film’s protagonist has become the new formula for success and a norm for the industry. The audience is lapping it up too. Recently, filmmaker Karan Johar had also shared that Bollywood has become ‘obsessed’ with the hyper masculinity and alpha men trend. Actor Vijay Varma, who himself played a grey character in his recent series Matka King, opines on the trend saying, “Hamesha se hi ‘hero’ types hero bahut Kam the Bollywood mein. If you even watch Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) today, it’s not all white, it’s never been.” Vijay Varma (Photo: Instagram) The actor adds, “This is a completely common misconception, especially when it comes to discourse on films. We’ve always had morally ambiguous protagonists. Maybe except a few performances by the great Mr Rajesh Khanna, probably in films like Bawarchi (1972), the heroes are usually characters suffering from some kind of insecurities, lack, personal pursuit, or several obstacles, the …

Rajat Kapoor feels Hindi cinema lost its ‘feminine’ hero with Amitabh Bachchan’s Angry Young Man in 1970s: ‘Only violent men on screen today’ | Bollywood News

Rajat Kapoor feels Hindi cinema lost its ‘feminine’ hero with Amitabh Bachchan’s Angry Young Man in 1970s: ‘Only violent men on screen today’ | Bollywood News

Rajat Kapoor and Vinay Pathak share a professional association of over 25 years, which extends across theatre and cinema. Their most recent collaboration is the former’s new directorial Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa. While Rajat also plays a key role in the rich ensemble, Vinay plays the titular protagonist, the one who’s ironically found dead at the start of the film. Handa is somewhere symbolic of the leading man we see in Indian cinema today — an aggressive, violent, entitled man, who’s undeniably charming and unmissable. On SCREEN’s Creator X Creator, chatting with his longtime collaborator Vinay, Rajat points out that the Hindi film hero used to be conventionally very gentle and in touch with his feminine side. “The Indian man has lost that feminine side. If you look at films of the 1950s, you’d see a lot of gentleness. Actors like Shashi Kapoor were celebrated. Or there was Rajesh Khanna, the ‘chocolate hero’. Or even Dilip Kumar, the tragic hero,” argues Rajat. “Balraj Sahni,” adds Vinay as Rajat seconds that inclusion. Rajat feels a tectonic …
