8 unforgettable character introductions in films

Shramana Kar

Sometimes, a character is more memorable than the movie that he/she is in. While this is not common, when it does happen, the character and actor become immortal. Here are 8 iconic character presentations, ranging from subtle to dramatic:

Mogambo (Mr. India)

Who can forget the line "Mogambo khush hua" from Mr. India? The role made Amrish Puri one of the most iconic Bollywood villains to date.

Gabbar Singh (Sholay)

Gabbar Singh from Sholay is another iconic Bollywood villain, immortalised by Amjad Khan. His dialogues "Kitne aadmi the?" and "Jo darr gaya, samjho marr gaya" are unforgettable.

Vijay Dinanath Chauhan (Agneepath)

You can't read "Vijay Dinanath Chauhan" and not imagine Amitabh Bachchan saying it in his iconic style from Agneepath. This character is epic and one that cannot be duplicated (even though it was attempted).

Munna Bhai & Circuit (Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.)

This iconic duo, played by Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, won over hearts with their easy and genuine camaraderie, memorable dialogue delivery, and endearing qualities. They remain Bollywood favourites.

Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)

vPlayed by Emma Watson, this beautiful character is part of the Harry Potter film series. Hermione is one part of the trio, which also consists of Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. She is smart and a force to be reckoned with.

Joe Goldberg (You)

Actor Penn Badgley's iconic role as Joe Goldberg in the thriller series You remains etched in memory. Joe successfully manages to terrorise us with his serial killing methods from the very beginning of the show.

Damon Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries)

Played by Ian Somerhalder in The Vampire Diaries, this character has the unique ability to make you love and hate him at the same time. Ian's expressions and his extremely alluring blue eyes made Damon iconic.

The Tramp (The Tamp)

Played by the legendary Charlie Chaplin, this English character remains one of the most memorable ones in world cinema from the silent film era. The Tramp is a childlike, bumbling, good-hearted character.
