Bollywood actors who stole the show in just 1 scene

There are many actors in Bollywood who have made an impact in just 1 scene. Although the list is long, here I will mention the ones only from 90s and early 2000s who made made an impact with just 1/ few scenes.


1. Snehal Dabi in Hera Pheri - The 1st one in this would be Snehal Dabi in Hera Pheri. Who can forget the hillarious scene where he mistakes the legendary comedian Asrani (who was playing a Bank Manager) as a pimp when Asrani was trying to convince Tabu to make peace with Sunil Shetty with her charms.Dabi has some other notable roles too to his credit like Aaj Kapoor in Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Habiba in Ek Chalis Ki Last Local, Satya, Welcome amongst others.

2.Unknown actor screaming "25" in Ishq - From years, have been trying to find this actor's name but havent' been able to find it. In the movie, he was seen screaming "25" near a manhole and when Tiku Talsania's character asks him why he is screaming "25" continuously he points to the manhole and when Tiku Talsania bends to see he kicks him and after he falls in the manhole he starts screaming "26" :D:D

3.Rajeev Mehta in Rangeela - No one can ever forget Rajeev Mehta's expression when he tells Aamir Khan that AC is on. It has become a cult scene over the years and although he made it really big with shows like Khichdi he is still best remembered for this scene.

4.Late Neeraj Vora in Daud - It is a pity that such a great performance went largely unnoticed due to poor box office performance of the movie. But anyone who has seen his turn as Chacko would swear by his comic genius. Playing a dumb village lord he was simply fantastic. A multifaceted personality wearing many hats - writer, actor and director, he has written some of the best comedy movies and filled our lives with laughter. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us may his soul rest in peace always.

5.Late Razzak Khan in Ishq - One more character from Ishq who we still remember. Playing a maverick emperor who gets ecstatic after seeing an unintentionally disjointed sculpture ordering his bodyguard to cut legendary comedian Deven Verma's (who was playing the shop owner selling it) hands so that he cannot recreate such an idol again (on the same lines like Shah Jahan got his workers' hands cut to make sure there cant' be another Taj Mahal). Razzak Khan has been a part of many comedy movies and was a comedian par excellence. May his soul rest in peace.

Was Ajay Devgan Justified in taking YRF to the court?

From last two weeks there have been lots of noise regarding Ajay Devgan's notice to Yash Raj,its implications et al .But has he done a right thing by doing so,if you ask me Yes he has.Its really unfair on part of any movie production house to use their muscle power to manipulate the competitors.It happens in every industry and film industry is no different.. If had happened 15 years ago it would not have this ramifications where movies had time to grow.In fact there have been many cases when movie released on same day have worked like Gadar and Lagan and also Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Bade Miya Chhote Miya,(the latter two released on Diwali itself). But today when the business of movies are dependent on weekends and at the most,a week a movie definately loses out if it does not get sufficient number of screens even if the movie is better than the other one.Even a good word of mouth wont' help since even if people want to see the movie what would they do if its not playing in

Can premiering movies on OTT platforms rob superstars of their stardom?

During the pandemic, one big change which happened in the entertainment industry was the release of movies on the OTT platforms.Although, it helped Bollywood minimise its lossed due to the shutdown of the theatres the overall impact of it on the industry and starts has been/would be detrimental. There are quite a few reasons for this.Movie stars enjoy such an adulation because right from the advent of movies because people made efforts to watch them. In the earlier times, it was standing in the ticket que for hours and later too even when the online ticketing options started one has to go to a platform to book a ticket and make an effort to watch the stars. But when movies of starts like Amitabh Bacchan,Akshay Kumar,Sanjay Dutt,Alia Bhatt,Vidya Balan come to your phone/laptop/tv directly with their new proposition then the aura is lost.One can argue that they anyways come to our TV everyday in form of re-runs but those are old content which people have already watched. With due respect

Can IIM's really predict a film's success?

Last week a news article said that students of IIM A will be cracking the code of a films' success based on some statistical tools at least during the first three days.With due respect to IIM A which is our country's best B School and one of the best in world,this study on face of it doesnt' make sense.Although it would be wrong to comment on something without knowing about  the tools and how will be they implementing it but the fact is no statistical tool can predict the success of an art form specially films on which viewers' views are so myriad.If the study limits itself to the opening weekend predictions it does make some sense as promotions do play a large role in initial footfalls,but beyond that it does not seem to be possible We see on a regular basis that we often have different opinions on the same movie when we came out of the theatre,some like it some dont. Also people have different expectations from the same movie,some are more keen on the drama part,so
