An anti-hero is a protagonist in a film who lacks conventional heroic qualities like morality, courage and strength. These characters have intriguing back stories where they are often rejected by society forcing them to focus on their selfish interests. Several Indian films have been led by such unconventional protagonists who are flawed, unethical, immoral, and vulnerable, leading to a compelling narrative that is different from mainstream cinema. Films such as Raees (2017), Fanaa (2006), Dhoom 2 (2006), Don (2006), Race (2008), and Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010) included prominent anti-heroes who went on to garner acclaim and accolades for their performances.
